Walgreens trip ~4/7~

Had to be creative with my "filler items" this trip...so we got some Easter basket goodies and sandwich bags. Normally don't spend that much OOP, but we needed the razors and the paper towels.

Shopping trip ~ 3/17/11~

We ventured out shopping with the kids last night. It was nearly a three hour adventure once you figured in drive time, bathroom breaks, and feeding the kids in the car. I had three stops: Walgreens, Target and Cub Foods. Here's how we did! :)

WALGREENS:


Total before coupons: $148.55
Total after coupons: $18.41
Total saved: $130.14
~also received $6RR to use next time....~

TARGET:

(there are 10 Propel Waters in the bag...I was too tired to unload them just for a pic!) =)

Total before coupons: $66.82
Total after coupons: $19.57
Total saved: $47.25
~also received a $5 gift card back~

CUB FOODS:


(not pictured are 36 Propel waters that I got for FREE!)

Total before coupons: $101.27
Total after coupons: $18.28
Total saved: $82.99

So, what it boils down to...if I'd walk into all those stores and paid the price on the shelf I would have spent $316.64, but I spent $56.26 and that's not including the RRs or Target gift card that I have in my wallet.

Total time spent preparing coupons: 2 hours (actually it was from 9am to noon, but I was also distracted by feeding the baby and taking care of the other kids so I'm rounding out the time I ACTUALLY worked on coupons!) =)
Total time spent shopping: about 3 hours (again, much quicker without kids, but still fun)
