Shopping Trip - 12/11/11

Here's another shopping trip from a couple of weeks ago. Gotta love playing catch-up! 

This shows my shopping trips from December 11th. I went to three stores--Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreens. Here's a picture of my finds.

I purchased these 55 items for a total of $25.15 plus tax. My out-of-pocket with tax was $33.41. The total retail for these items with sale prices was $113.87 plus tax. That means I saved $88.72 or 73%. I also had $13 in rewards, a $10 gift card, and a $5 off $30 coupon remaining. That doesn't include the $36.97 unused ExtraBucks from previous weeks. Pretty nifty!

This was the week to stock up on tons of free and cheap candy for stocking stuffers! The 55 items purchased include 10 holiday Peeps, 8 Snickers Nutrackers, 3 Russell Stover holiday chocolates, 2 Red Bull energy drinks, 1 bag Combos snacks, 6 holiday tins, 3 American Greetings cards, 2 Goody's hair clips, 2 boxes Ricola cough drops, 4 boxes 15ct Christmas cards, 1 Thermacare heat wraps 3pk, 1 Remington hair trimmer, 2 Salanpas pain patches, 1 Advil pain relief 50ct, 3 Centrum Pro Nutrients 50ct vitamins, 4 Pepsi product 12pks, 1 Kodak photo collage, and 1 Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper.
