Three Stores in Three Hours

Last night was a late night shopping experience.  By the time I left the house and finished printing coupons at my parents' house, it was nine o'clock.  I started at Target, made my way across the road to Wal-Mart, and ended the night right around closing (midnight) at Dillons.  It was exhausting, but worth it!

Here is a picture of my Target findings.  I will have to go back, as they were wiped out of several items I had planned to get for free.  The break down is listed just below.

Tide Single Load Packets (4) @ $.97 each: used 4 $1 off any Tide Qs from P&G Saver Booklet= 4 free
Nature Valley Bars from $1 bin (3): used $1.50/3 Target Q and $.50/1 Printable and Printable(3) = 3 free
*You'll need printables from 2 sources, in order to print the needed 3- each site lets you print 2 times*
Halls 30ct (2) @ $1.19 each: used $.50/1 Target Q (2) and $.50/1 Printable (2)= $.38 or $.19 each
Rimmel Foundation @ $6.49 : used $2/1 Rimmel Printable= $4.49
Reach Floss (2) @ $.97 each: used $1/1 Printable (2)= 2 free

Total Spent: $5.94
Tax: $1.25
Total Saved: $13- $12 on receipt though? (I unfortunately think that 2 of my $.50 coupons didn't get ring through, despite my best efforts of handing them to cashier one at a time and watching.  Called his attention when one didn't show an amount, and he insisted that it went through- but I come up $1 short looking at receipt. Oh well, still saved lots!)

Next I headed over to Wal-Mart.  This is where I try to buy all of the things I need that I may not have a coupon to cover, as they generally do have the lowest everyday prices.  Below are pictures and the total breakdown.  Note, there are a few freebies available in this bunch.

Can't wait for hubby to try these!

Final stop of night- Dillons.  I felt like Cinderella at the ball when the clock struck twelve and they made the all call that I needed to head to the checkout stand.  I was JUST finishing, so it was perfect!

Don't forget that Dillons honors expired coupons up to 2 weeks after the expiration date.  I used up a bunch that expired 2/27 or 2/28 on this trip.

**Dillons receipts can be difficult to read, because of how they show sale prices.  This worked in my favor for once, because the cashier couldn't figure it out & she gave me the full price of $6.55 off of each- I got an extra $.96 off of all 3!**
