I went shopping early this week. I usually do a trip at the end of the shopping circular but this time I had my deals written, coupons clipped, and was ready to go on Sunday. Ahead of the game for once. Pictures would be nice but after shopping for several hours and driving home I was exhausted.
I only had two coupons rejected and I just moved on because they weren’t high dollar coupons. The cashiers I had today were all so friendly and helpful. If the ladies from Walgreens found my site – “Hi” and thanks for stopping by. I love it when I have a smooth shopping trip and great cashiers helped to make it a great day!
Be sure to check those end caps for great clearance deals. I found our favorite Crest Toothpaste on clearance at CVS and used a $1/1 coupon from the P&G Coupon Booklet I received from a previous rebate. As well as finding Smart Rinse for $1.07 – $1/1 coupon, which made my final price just 7¢. Walgreens had some Pez dispensers on clearance for just 34¢ and some other little toys for around a $1. I use these items as gift bag fillers, stocking stuffers, or bingo prizes.

What are some of these “free deals” from Walmart you speak of? I’m new to coupons but just got back from Meijer. I spent 28.69 out of pocket and saved 85.80 from sales/coupons!
Chhud – Sounds like an AWESOME Meijer trip!
I had some coupons for free items to use any store. However, some of my favorite stores don’t carry them because they are newer items and Walmart usually carries all the newest stuff! So I used the manufacturer’s coupons at Walmart. I could have used them at any store that carried the items! :)
