Food Lion, Target and Walgreens

oh my!

:) I've watched the Wizard of Oz too much lately. We ran some errands today and hit up some of our fave spots and one occassional (Food Lion)

Food Lion
5 12-pack Mt Dew (used 5 $2/1 mq's)
5 Chinet lunch plates (used 5 $2/1 mq's)
Total oop: $2.83
Total saved: $29.13 (90%)
(I should insert here that there was a Scott's natural tp flip stuck to one of my other q's that I didn't see. The cashier scanned it and it went through. When I looked up and saw it, I said- oh, I didn't get that, it snuck in my stack. He said, oh, well the register accepted it so don't worry. I said, ok, I won't complain then. :) So I got an additional $1 off that i didn't plan)
Oh, and I also scored a whole slew of $.50/1 VitaminWater tearpad q's. I got a few when I was there a month+ ago, and when I looked today they were still there! I figured, no one is using/taking these, they've been here over a MONTH! so I took a whole bunch. (but not all!)


Target
8 Banana Boat trial size sunscreens (used 8 $1/1 mq's)
2 Swiffer cloth refills (used 1 $1/1 Target q)
1 Target brand diapers (used 1 $1/1 Target q)
[earned $5gc for the swiffer purchase and used it in trans.2 to buy other items]
Total oop: $5.93
Total saved: $15.90 (63%)
with this purchase I copmpleted the Swiffer refill items needed for my gift card, so I will also earn a $10 Visa Debit card from Swiffer


Walgreens
4 Joint Juice 6-packs (used 2 bogo mq's and 2 $2/1 mq's)
2 Iceland Fish Oil capsules (no q's)
2 Puffs Plus (no q's)
3 Starbucks Vanilla Frappuchino (used 3 $1/1 mq's)
3 Contour meters (used 3 $30/1 mq's, adjusted to price- raincheck price of $14.99)
1 Jiffy Pancake mix (should've been two, but they ran out, so I was charged $.22 for one, but didn't get it - I was able to use a $5rr with that charge, so I let the $.22 go)
Total oop: $0
Total put on gift card from esr program: $12.89
RR's earned: $16
Total saved: $80.81 (84%)

Girl, you really get around. I'm just trying to fit in my Publix deals these days! LOL. Can't wait to see you soon.

The kids are getting used to it- poor things. I hope Z can sit on his own by the time he outgrows his infant carrier, or I'll have to wear him everywhere- and he always tries to grab my coupons! :)

Brandy how did you get the $1 off 1 at Target? you got some great deals! I am getting burnt out on keeping up with all of these stores!

Tara- I got a booklet in the amil with coupons in it, one was a $1/1 any Swiffer product. I don't know how I got the booklet- I was registered there, maybe that's it? I know what you mean about getting the burn out. I have taken to getting the things I really need or the moneymakers, I am not even getting all the free stuff I can anymore. Even though I can probably sell it later... I can't keep up! :)
