Shopping Trip - 4/1/12

Only CVS and Walgreens again! I'm not going back to Rite Aid until I get my UPs from the Olay deal a few weeks ago. They're supposed to be mailed to me. 

Total before coupons: $80.31 + tax = $86.10
My OOP: $19.28 + tax = $25.07, with $2 EBs remaining
Savings: $61.03, 71% (76% without tax)

I bought 33 items today. Purchased items include 4 Coke product 12-packs, 2 Depends Real Fit briefs 3ct, 2 bags plastic Easter eggs, 2 Revlon nail polishes, Revlon lipstick, Allegra allergy medicine 5ct, Red Bull energy drink, Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper, 6 Easter glitter putty, 5 M&Ms Easter eggs, 2 bags Kit Kats, bag of Reese's peanut butter eggs, bag of Hershey's minatures, 2 bags Dove promises chocolates, and 2 bags M&Ms.

Several of these items are for my class Easter party. (Just like all the activity pads and other candy and prizes from previous trips.) There's no way hubby and I could eat all this stuff by ourselves!

Here's a breakdown of each store.

CVS

I started with $2 ExtraBucks and received my quarterly EBs—only $2.50 on my card. I also had to pick up some things on dad’s card. He got $3.50. My mom got $6 on her card! Must be because of all the prescriptions. She used hers later on in the week to buy some Cokes.
