My first shopping trip of 2010


I stopped by The Dollar Tree today and picked up 6 copies of the newspaper. I was so excited about the Electrasol Q that I couldn't contain myself! So, first stop I spent $7.63, (I also bought a box of sweet & low.) With all of my coupons in hand, I headed over to Walgreens where I did several transactions using just coupons from today's paper with the exception of 1 item.

I purchased 2 Reach Total Care toothbrushes (2 pk's) for 3.99 each
1 Electrasol *bonus pack!!!* 3.99
1 Bayer Contour meter 14.99
2 Stayfree maxis 36 ct 6.29 each

I used $30 Bayer Meter RP 10/25 (adjusted to $14.99) $5.00 RR (5.00 profit!)
$2.50 Electrasol Dishwasher Detergent SS 1/3 $1.00 RR (makes it free!)
B1G1 Reach toothbrush RP 1/3 + $2 off w/ in-ad coupon (comes off twice)
B1G1 Stayfree pads RP 1/3 + $3 off w/ in-ad coupon (comes off twice)

Total out of pocket (OOP) for first transaction $3.88

I did this similar transaction a few more times, increasing my OOP costs a bit more than I wanted to but I left with quite a haul, including 2 gallons of Barbers milk & Neutrogena shampoo that never has a coupon) spending a total of $21.06 BUT earning back $25.00 RR for the day. I will probably take those over to Publix to spend later this week for grocery money.
