Walgreens, Walmart & Publix
It was a chaotic trip to Wags today. I ended up going to 2 different ones. Neither of them had the rebate items I planned on purchasing. Some of my coupons didn’t work b/c the cashier used a coupon that printed while I was checking out. I was screaming “No!” in my head. I wanted to say, “Don’t you realize how long it takes me to plan these things out..you just cost me $4.75!” Those q’s were worth less than the ones I had already. And I picked up the wrong rebate makeup…oops… Then he rang up an product twice. It was just a mess! I ended up returning stuff blah blah. In the end I spent $11.45 and saved $83.36. That was what I set out to spend but I didn’t get all of the things I had anticipated. Oh well…here are the details. I have combined the 2 transactions into 1 to make things easier for everyone reading!

*Publix accepts competitor coupons. So I used my Food Lion coupons there instead of making a trip out there to buy the cheese and produce.
I now have my YTD spending/savings located under the “About Me” section! I will update this throughout the year as I shop and save! Enjoy!
