I only used 3 coupons while I was at Walmart today. While they have great prices on some things, I find myself going to other stores more often to utilize coupons better (like Dillons doubles coupons and Target has their own coupons so you can stack them with other coupons). My deals today:

Great Value 100% Whole Wheat Bread $1.47
Great Value 2% Milk Gallon $2.33
Head Lettuce $.89
3 Medium Dozen Eggs $.48 ea (cheapest I’ve seen, even beat Aldi’s price)
Van De Kamps 10 pack Battered Fish Fillets $4.56, used $3.00 Coupon
Ronzoni Smart Taste Spaghetti $1.50, used FREE Coupon
Butterball Fried Turkey Lunchmeat 8 oz. $2.50, used $1.00 Q (this is really good!)
2 Great Value Taco Seasonings $.42 ea
Great Value Half & Half Quart $1.82
Hormel Beef Tamales $1.26
Great Value Chili No Beans $1.34
Final Cost $15.17

2 Big Red Bell Peppers (these were wonderful, so big!) $1.00 ea
Approx 5 lbs of Chicken Thighs @ $.99 lb
Final Cost $7.85

I had quite the Walgreens adventure this week, my brain started hurting after my 2nd trip LOL! They are having their special 4 day sale with the $5 Register Reward with a $25 purchase through tomorrow, so I ended up going to 2 Walgreens locations yesterday. And my first Walgreens experience earlier in the week was CrAzY fun! I found a mistake on my 2nd Walgreens trip (not sure if it was them or me, pretty sure it was me though LOL), so I’ll be going back tomorrow.

This week so far I’ve also gotten 25 4×6 prints for $.25, a Free 8×10 photo and I’ll be picking up 20 Free 4×6 prints and a free Scrapbook page tomorrow. Lots of awesome photo deals this week. Thanks Walgreens!

Trip #1 8/18
So, I get to my Walgreens with the sole purpose of using a Register Reward that expired on that day. When I got there, my favorite cashier told me to PLEASE buy several of the Softsoaps (that were free with the RRs) because they had over-ordered and needed to sell them. So, of course, I said SURE! (Note that 1 of the Body Washes is not pictured, I gave 1 away before I got home and I’ll be giving the rest away shortly) Here’s how this trip went:
1st Transaction
1 Softsoap Nutri Serum Body Wash $3.99
1 hairclip pair on clearance $.20
Used 1 $4.00 RR
Final Cost $.52 & got back $4.00 RR
2nd Transaction
1 Softsoap $3.99
1 hairclip pair on clearance $.20
Used 1 $4.00 RR
Final Cost $.52 & got back $4.00 RR
3rd Transaction
1 Softsoap $3.99
Used 1 $3.00 RR
Final Cost $1.30 & got back $4.00 RR
4th Transaction
1 Softsoap $3.99
Used 1 $3.00 RR
Final Cost $1.30 & got back $4.00 RR
5th thru 8th Transaction
Each Softsoap $3.99
Final Cost $4.30 ea & Got back $4.00 RR on each one

So, the end result of all these transaction was:
$11.00 in Register Rewards Spent
$20.84 Total Spent
And got back $32.00 in Register Rewards!

This was one of those trips where I should have been paying closer attention. Sometimes I just get to chatting & I distract myself LOL. I purchased 3 of the mailers that were on sale for $.49 each and this was one of those times I didn’t check my receipt. When I got home, I checked and saw that I was charged $1.50 for EACH mailer. I’m not sure if I just picked up the wrong mailers or I was charged incorrectly, so I’ll take the receipt and mailers back to the store with me tomorrow and see if I can get that fixed (I’m guessing I picked up the wrong mailers).

Trip #2 8/20
3 Scotch Mailers $1.50 ea (should have been $.49 ea, pretty sure my error), used 3 $.50 Qs
4 Velveeta Shells Cups $1.00 ea, used 1 Get 2 Cups Free Q, 1 BOGO Q, 1 $.55/1 Q, 1 $1.00/4 Walgreens Q, got back $1.00 RR
3 Bic Highlighters 5-packs $.39 ea, used $1.00/2 Q
2 Jars of Green Olives $.99 ea, used $1.00/2 Q
2 Listerine Kids Smart Rinse $4.89 ea, used BOGO Q, $1.00 Q, $1.00 2x Walgreens Q from activity booklet, got back $3.00 RR
Conair Professional Brush $2.99, got back $2.00 RR
2 Neosporin Ointments .5 oz. (came with free traveling case) $4.99 ea, used 2 $1.00 Qs, $2.00 2x Walgreens Q from activity booklet, got back $4.00 RR
Walgreens Activity Booklet (found by the Pharmacy) $.99
Softsoap Body Wash $3.99, got back $4.00 RR
Final Cost $21.43, got back $19.00 in Register Rewards (this includes the $5.00 RR for spending more than $25, they count the total before coupons)
Plus, I should be able to get back a refund of around $3.00 once the mailer issue is fixed.
Update: I went back Saturday and got my money back for the mailer mistake ($3.27), so my adjusted total for the above trip is $18.16 and got back $19.00 in Register Rewards

Trip #3 8/20
Ok, my last trip was much more straightforward:
3 Diet 7-Up 12oz/12pk cans 3/$11.00, got back $3.00 RR
2 jars of Green Olives $.99 ea, used $1.00/2 Q
3 Big Rolls Toilet Paper $.49 ea
