My great deals

Today we were busy running errands, and I had to stop in a few places for different needs. Here are some of the great deals we snagged.

At Kroger we bought 3 Kraft Dressings priced $1.69 and used 3 manufacturer coupons for $1.50 each from the 5/10 circulars. We bought 2 large Kraft BBQ sauces at $1.08 each and used 2 $1 off printable coupons. Our total purchase price with tax--$1.29. I'll use these for a BBQ I'm co-hosting for my pregnant sister.

We ran into Walgreens to pick up some diapers for the church food pantry. They are on sale this week BOGO and end up being 2/$8.99. I had a $2 off Walgreens coupon from a coupon booklet they had a while back at the pharmacy counter. I was surprised to see that it gave us $2 off EACH diaper, making the diapers 2/4.99. We bought a Colgate Max White Toothpaste at $2.99 and used a $1 off coupon. I added 3 packets of seeds for our church vegetable garden as fillers. We used a $4.50 and a $2 register reward from last week. The total price was $1.48 and we earned $2 register rewards for next week!
We went to Target to pick up some things for my sister's baby shower. While we didn't find many of the items we had hoped to purchase, we used some coupons to make our out of pocket expense a lot less than it would have been. (I'm going to be vague so that when my sister reads this it won't spoil any surprises). In addition to gift items totalling over $16, we bought some right guard cologne at a closeout price of $2.54. This will be used for our 2009 Hands on Mission Kit. We bought 4 Soothe eye drops in the travel section at a closeout price of 84 cents a piece. The eye drops will be donated to the Faith in Soldiers Today ministry where our church sends care packages to deployed troops. I had 4 $3 off coupons for the drops. The coupons made our total purchase price with tax included $11.90!

Three shopping trips in one day is a lot for us. Usually we just go to Walgreens and Kroger in a week, but we were out anyway and had some things we needed to take care of today. Minus a temper tantrum from a certain 3 year old because of being put in the cart at Walgreens, the trips went smoothly and required little effort. Hope this is of help to someone out there!
