Once I again, I had fun shopping and SAVING at Walgreens this week. The store I shopped at today didn’t carry the Oral-B Advantage toothpaste or the Keri Lotion I was planning on purchasing, so I didn’t save quite as much as I was planning on, but still did well. I loaded up on some more CHEAP school supplies (which my kids are not so happy to see, because it means summer break is almost over).

I had fun shopping at CVS today. I love meeting other coupon shoppers, and watching the different ‘systems’ people use when couponing. Several things I was planning on purchasing were already out of stock, so I got rainchecks for them.
I also got a CVS Green Bag tag today. The cost of the Tag is $0.99. You can get the card scanned up to once per day, and for every 4 scans you get $1 ECB!! Shame on me for not having done this sooner…but I’m doing it now, and wanted to let you all know you should really grab one too, and start using it!

This Sunday we can expect 1 SmartSource(SS) Insert and possibly 2 Red Plum (RP) Inserts and 1 Procter & Gamble(P&G) Insert. I am seeing reports of some areas receiving 2 Red Plums…so keep a look out for that.
I recommend buying a minimum of 4 sunday Papers or a minimum of 2 for each member of your household. You will MORE than make up your cost for the papers!! (I buy 22 every sunday…and yes..it’s worth the money!)
*If you’re interested in getting Home Delivery of the Tampa Tribune for $0.50 per Sunday paper please email me or leave a comment here letting me know you would like the information I found for getting the discounted rate. (I do not make any comission on this whatsoever..all opinions are 100% my own)
**Regional Differences are always expected.**

I have to tell you, my 4 kids go through so much food! There are only 2 boxes of the Cinnabon Pancakes I bought 2 weeks ago, so I bought Waffles tonight! That should last them about a week! LOL. I certainly have focused on stocking up on food for them the past few weeks. They can no longer say ‘MOOOMMMMM…there’s nothing for us to eat here!’ LOL. I have a great stockpile, but apparently nothing they wanted….does anyone else go through that with their kids, or am I all alone on this one?
I definitely bought some things I wouldn’t normally buy tonight (like nature valley granola thins, Townhouse Crackers, and Oreo Cookies…it’s been a long time since we’ve had cookies in our house) but I wanted a few extra snacks in the house for the kids to last them through the rest of summer break.
Below is a list of everything I bought and exactly what coupons I used.
Red = Manufacturer Coupons
Green = Store/Competitor coupons
SS = Smart Source Sunday Coupon Insert (date of which Sunday indicated)
