Survived!

Well, Christmas has come and gone again. I'm just glad to say I survived it.  My kids are all older now.  No more legos or baby dolls at our house.  :(
The shopping was for very expensive, very small items.  No, I didn't have any coupons for them.  Rats.  A couple of them were on black Friday, tho, so that did help.

Anyway, on to today's shopping!



The Glade sprays were $3.19, 50% off, and I had a 55 cent off coupon, too!  That made them $1.04 each.  The garbage bags were just on sale, $2.99 a box. 
M&Ms, daughter needed...they were only  50% off.  Same with the sprinkles. 
Sally Hansen buffing blocks (I can use these in scrapbooking, too) were 37¢, but I had a 50¢ off coupon, so the gal wrang it up at 50, making them free!
The clippers I had a coupon for, too, for 50¢, making them 79¢.
The Hershey Kisses were the BEST!  Before Christmas, I got a $5 off any Hershey's product catalina at Walgreens.  I took it in today. The candy was again, 50% off.  I got all 3 bags for TWENTY FIVE CENTS!!!  I was very very excited about that one!   
All totaled, I spent $7.42 and that was on a gift card I had. So really...woohoo, no money spent at all!




My daughter got some make-up.  This was all clearanced, and I had $1 off coupon, and she found a $2 off coupon in the Walgreens monthly book, too.
She got all of it for $7.25.
Merry Christmas to us ala coupons!  LOL!

Sunday, November 27

One more Walgreens trip to post.
I saved over $80, and spent $23.63, and used all of my register rewards, too!  I am always concerned that I will forget to use them, they will expire, and I'll lose out!

Anyway, here is my haul.  I forgot the lip glosses, so had to take a 2nd picture:


The 5 softlips were free after register rewards.
The rest of my goodies are:
2 Tone body wash
6 Dawn dish washing soap
12 votive candles (for a friend, but they made great fillers!)
4 Pantene shampoo and conditioner
2 foot rehab creme
and a digital camera.
The camera alone was $20, so I got all the rest of it for $3.63  WOW!

Saturday's Shopping

I'm still playing catch-up on my postings.  This past few trips to Walgreens has been phenomenal!
I spent $30.87 and saved over $110!  I just love doing these things!
1 bottle of foundation (make-up)
3 boxes of hair color
3 razors
1 memory card (Christmas present!)
3 lip glosses
4 deodorants
and 4 laffy taffys. 

Thanksgiving Day at Walgreens

Our family had our holiday meal on Wednesday, because of grown children's schedules.  That left me free to do what I wanted last Thursday.  Of course, I went coupon shopping!
Sadly, I can't find my receipts to tell you how much exactly I spent or saved.  I looked at my bank account, and I spent around $27. 
Here's a breakdown of what I got:
4 boxes of Kleenex
6 rolls of paper towels
9 tubes of toothpaste
10 bottles of asprin (donated)
1 Thanksgiving Day newspaper
5 toothbrushes
4 thermacares
8 packages of hair ties
and 3 laffy taffys.

I really wish I had been more organized after this shopping trip, so I could have posted it sooner, and listed the amount of savings. Oh well..can't have everything I guess.  :D

I have 2 more shopping trips to post tonight, too.
