Thrifty Stocking

I am back to my coupon shopping again and have come across good deals especially at Walgreens!

As Usual life gets away from us

It has been 6 months since my last post and that is way toooo long.
In the last half year I have done plenty just haven't posted.
I have done lots of sewing (purchased a new sewing machine!), celebrated holidays and birthdays, went through a job position elimination, been redeployed to a new position (waiting to learn what that is still), had major surgery and now sitting home and healing for about 2wks longer.
Here are a few pics of what I have been up to. Click to enlarge.

76.55% saved at Walgreens

My first coupon trip of the year and Walgreens had some good sales and in store coupons that matched up with Manufacturer coupons.

Here is my bounty from my trip minus a hairbrush set my daughter had to have.

So to break it all down.

4 packs of Stayfree pads. 6.29 each minus B1G1 Free Manufacturer Coupon and then minus $3 each store coupon = $0.58 total

5 packages of Finish Electrosol Gel Packs. 3.49 each minus $2.50 Manufacturer coupon and gained $1 Register Reward for each box (done is separate transactions) = $4.95 got back $5 in RR

2 Reach Floss 3.79 each minus B1G1 Free MQ and minus $2 each store coupon = 0.21 overage

2 Reach Total Care toothbrushes 3.99 each minus B1G1 free MQ and minus $2 each store coupon = 0.01 overage

1 Box of Always Infinite (daughter had to have) 4.99 no coupons = $4.99

1 Bottle of L'Oreal Paris Face Cleanser $6.99 minus $2.00 MQ = $4.99

1 tube of Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste $4.99 minus $1 MQ and $2 store coupon = $1.99

1 Goody Hair brush set (not pictured) $5.99

4 8oz jars of hunts tomato sauce 0.99 each minus 0.60 each store coupon = 1.56

Total before coupons: $85.09 and after coupons and Register Rewards and pre tax: $19.96 and still have $1RR left to use again.

I plan on going to get a few more deals later this week. I was thrilled for the savings and if my daughter hadn't been with me I would have less OOP (out of pocket). Gotta love kids though!

All coupons were from this Sundays news paper.

Oh and Happy New Year everyone!
