Savings

I had a pretty good day yesterday with my savings. I went to Walgreens and Publix for a Huggies wipes deal. At Walgreens, there was an in-store $2.00 off a box of 64 count and up of Huggies wipes. Earlier in the month I had ordered twenty $.50 off coupons from eBay. So I went to Walgreens to stock up. While I was there I was also going to check out some other deals I had read about. There was a limit on the wipes. I wanted 11 boxes, but I could only get 4. They were priced at $3.29 and with a $2 and $.50 coupon they would be .$79 apiece. Not to bad. So at the end of my shopping trip, I paid $6.73 and had a savings of $69.44.

Here's what I got (no pictures today).

• 4 boxes of Huggies wipes ($.79 each)
• 2 Gillette Phenom razors-on clearance ($.29 each)
• 3 Bic highlighter packs ($.17 for all 3)
• 4 packs of Jumbo crayons ($.49 each)
• 2 Oxy face washes-on clearance ($.79 each)
• 2 Oxy shaving creams-on clearance ($.79 each)
• 1 Brut shaving cream-on clearance ($.62)
• Walgreens contact solution-on clearance ($.87)

I had $2.00 off coupons for the razors, $1.00 off for the Oxy products, $1.00/2 for the BIC highlighters, and the $.50 off the wipes. Then I had the $2.00 Walgreens coupons for the wipes as well, which gave me the listed prices above. And I got an extra $.90 off the Oxy products because they were on sale as well as being on clearance. The cashier was having as much fun as I was saving money and there was another Walgreens employee who was waiting to buy lunch behind me and he gave me a $5.00 off Walgreens coupons which got my total down to $6.73. The cashier called another co-worker over to check out my savings and we had to talk about coupons for awhile. I will definitely be going back to that Walgreens, since the service was so great!

Then I decided I would go to another Walgreens to get more wipes, but I started thinking that my Publix has decided to continue to take drugstore coupons as competitor coupons. And their Huggies wipes were $2.99. And my $.50 coupons would double to $1.00. Combined with the $2.00 Walgreens coupons it would make my wipes FREE!!! Or actually, I would make a penny. So I went to Publix, bought 7 more boxes of wipes, a gallon of milk, a quarter of a watermelon and some eggs and saved $28.00 and paid $6. 68. Not to bad of a deal. Thanks Publix! I love you!
