Shopping Trip - 6/10/12

Only CVS and Walgreens. I'm not sure when Rite Aid will have any good sales again!

Total before coupons: $47.19 + tax = $51.00
My OOP: $9.19 + tax = $13.00
Savings: $38.00, 75% (81% without tax)

I bought 21 items today. They include 5 Pepsi product 12-pks. Kashi Go Lean cereal, 2 Nivea after shave balms, Scope Outlast mouthwash, Oral B Complete Advantage Scope toothbrush, 2 U by Kotex liners 18ct, 4 Kotex liners 16ct, 4 packs Lifesavers mints, and a Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper.

This trip seemed to be a bit smaller than usual for me. Not as many good deals! That and I didn't really prepare too well. A family member has been very sick and we've spent a great deal of time visiting the hospital. Family time before coupons, obviously.

I didn't leave with any earned rewards this week! That's highly unusual. I sure am glad I still have a lot of Extra Bucks from last week. Looks like some good sales coming up!

Here's a breakdown of each store.
