Tried a new store and saved
I decided to give another store a try, and I did really well. I shopped at Dillons last week for their loss leaders, and for the free gallon of milk with purchase of 3 boxes of cereal. My three year old drinks about 3 gallons of milk a week, so an offer of free milk helps a lot.
The store was nice, and not too busy even though we were shopping mid day. When I got there I headed right over to customer service and signed up for a Plus card. You get a big discount at check out when you use their card. They also have little yellow signs all over the store that have discounted prices when you use the plus card, it is like a scavenger hunt for the best deals.
I shopped just the items listed in their ad and took my coupons. Dillons also doubles coupons up to $.50, sweet. Here is my list:
3 boxes of Lucky Charms for $2.00 each + $1.00 off coupon = $5.00
Earned 1 free gallon of Milk ($2.37)
1 box of Golden Grahams for $2.00
2 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios for $1.67 each + $1.00 off coupon=$2.24
Earned 1 free gallon of Milk for ($2.37)
Fritos Chips for $1.88
1 4 pack of Double Roll Sparkle Paper Towels for $5.49 + $.50 coupon doubled= $4.49
1 12 pack of Double Roll Angel Soft Toilet Paper for $5.49+ $.50 coupon doubled= $4.49
1 Dozen Large Eggs for $.88
1 3lb bag of frozen boneless skinless Chicken Breasts for $5.64
Grand Total $29.24 with tax. I had $4.00 in coupons, and my total in store savings were $25.42. Not too shabby. I also got a few in store coupons for cereal and 2 more gallons of free milk for the next shopping trip. I’ll definitely be shopping and saving there again soon.

Walgreens was one of my stops last week. I was there to purchase just a few of the sale items. I was shopping for Coca-cola, Diapers, and Lotion. I was loading up my last purchases the 4 12 packs of Coke when the Manager came up to my cart. She looked in my cart, and noticed that I had picked up a pack of size 2 diapers. She asked me if I wanted to swap my single pack of diapers for 2 cases that had just gone on sale for half off. I was so excited, I had to get both cases. The savings were huge!!!
Here is what I got:
3 12 packs of Coke for $2.75 ea= $8.25
1 12 pack of Sprite for $2.75
2 Gold Bond Lotions for $4.68 each + I had 2 coupons for $1.00 off each= $7.36
1 Jumbo pack of Pull-Ups for $10.49 + coupon for $2.00 off= $8.49
1 Huggies Shea Butter body wash w/coupon attached for $1.00 off for $2.39 + after coupon price = $1.39
1 Huggies Clean Team Shampoo & Conditioner for $2.39 + I had a coupon for $1.50 0ff = $.89
8 48 count Huggies Diapers size 2 for $5.74 each + $1.50 coupon= $44.42
Grand Total of $ 79.50
I had to check the receipt to see the crazy savings. Shopping at Walgreens with my $8.00 in coupons saved me a total of $58.78, and I earned a $5.00 gift card. I’m so happy, and I really can’t wait for our Walgreens to open here!

Whew! I’m so tired, but I’m all finished with my shopping. I ended up going to 4 stores in 2 days with 2 very grumpy boys. I’ve got one tired back from carrying Dylan in the Snugli, but my savings were huge. Yahoo for me! I’m going to post my totals soon. Both of the boys are napping right now, so I had better get to the laundry while I have a chance.

Tomorrow I’m planning on shopping the loss leaders at three stores: Dillon’s, Aldi, and Walgreens. I’m taking some extra time today to get everything ready for tomorrow. I’ve got to have a few extra items for the boys, and my shopping bags for Aldi too. I already have all of my lists ready, with coupons. I hope that the boys will behave, and that I have the energy to go shopping tomorrow.
I’m finishing up the remainder of the grocery shopping at Wal-Mart on Friday. James has an eye appointment, so I’ll have some time to shop. That is a total of 4 stores in 2 days. Maybe I should invest in a few iced coffees too.
