Wednesday Savings

I wasn't really sure if I was going to be able to stay home today or not...pretty much been that way all week. When I jumped on my work email I saw this lovely email stating my new computer had been shipped. I knew from that email I would indeed get to stay home one more day before having to go back to work. Knowing this was my last day off I had so much I wanted to do. I wanted to go grocery shopping, clean, and rest. I have no idea how I spent 3 hours getting all my coupons together for the stores but I did. It was a combination of figuring out what I wanted to get on top of grabbing the coupon. I made a list for Kroger, Bi-Lo, Publix, and I attempted Food Lion. By 1:00 I was ready to do my shopping. The problem is I attempted to find Kroger's in Georgia but I just could not find the location I had written down. I was so close to it but after a few tries I just decided it'd be best to go back home and do Bi-Lo and Publix. CVS was along the way and I wanted to attempt to do their $10 CVS gift card. I was supposed to get: (1) Big roll of Charmin toilet paper, (1) bounty paper towel-8pk, (2) cottenelle flushable wipes, (2) skittles, and a single mars bar. Well I was not thinking about it being Wednesday and this started on Sunday. I was lucky enough to find the Charmin toilet paper just as I was about to give up. I had to come up with a new plan on the spot and I think considering it was spur of the minute I did pretty good...but I probably could have done better lol. I ended up with toilet paper, 2 charmin flushable wipes, foundation, and eye shadow. I know that does not sound like it would cost very much...but oh man did it ever. Without any savings my total came to $51.37. I about died when I first saw that, but then I realized my card hadn't gotten scanned yet. The toilet paper was on sale for $9.99 (16 rolls). I also had a coupon for $.25 off charmin. The flushable wipes were on sale for $2.50, and the cosmetics were buy 1 get 1 50% off. The foundation was $14.99 and then I got the eye shadow half off for $4.39. My total came to $37.54. I had $4 ECB from a previous purchase which brought my total to $33.30. I received my $10 CVS cash, so it was like I paid $13.30 for everything. I did remember to snap a pic this time :)

According to my receipt my total savings for this trip was $16.63. Again, I'm sure there was a better deal but I was silly and did not bring my entire coupon book in and did not have time to figure out the next best deal. I never made it to Bi-Lo or Publix so I guess I will be going there on Sunday because Saturday I am in search of Kroger lol
