Shopping Day 2

I visited 3 stores that I will outline in this post.  

I stopped at Walgreens yesterday.  They were having the Dayquil/Nyquil sale that I posted about a few days ago.  Last time they had this sale I went on Tuesday and they were all out so I wanted to be sure to get there in time this time around.  I also bought some Aussie shampoo that was on sale and for which I had a coupon.  

Walgreens:
Spent $16.17
Saved $ 19.26
Register Rewards (to be used on any item on another trip) $6.00 

This morning I stopped first at Walmart.  They have their entire garden section full of clearance items right now.  I did not have a lot of available cash so I limited myself to a 25 cent folder and a $2 bottle of Listerene.  However, there are all kinds of potential Christmas gifts, cleaning supplies, picture frames and numerous other items on clearance at this time.  There were two purchases I made at Walmart that were not on sale and I did not have a coupon for.  However, all was not lost as my coupons were money makers.  (This means that I had coupons that exceeded the amount of the items purchased giving me some money towards another purchase.)

I got the following items free (or as money makers) using coupons:
3 travel first aid kits
2 dental floss
2 12 packs of Schick disposable razors
1 Post it super sticky pad

Clearance Items:
Portfolio Folder 25 cents
Listerene $2.00

Items with defrayed cost from coupon money makers:
Kodak Black Ink 
Night Light Bulbs

Walmart:
Total Paid:  $13.98
Total Saved not including clearance items:  $23.98
Estimated Clearance Savings (not detailed on receipt):  $3.25
Total Walmart Savings:  $27.23


My last stop was at Price Chopper for groceries.
