Shopping Trip - 6/3/12

My weekly trip to CVS and Walgreens.

Total before coupons: $79.83 + tax = $86.20
My OOP: $8.08 + tax = $14.45, with $31 rewards remaining
Savings: $71.75, 83% (90% without tax)

I bought18 items today. They include a Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper, Crest Pro-Health mouth rinse 1L, 2 boxes ReNew Life Omega Smart Super Critical fish oil softgels 30ct, Walgreens brand Lansoprazole Acid Reducer 14ct, 2 Oral B Pro-Health Clinical Pro-Flex toothbrushes, Secret deodorant, Lady Speed Stick Stainguard deodorant, 2 Gillette Venus Tropical disposable razors 3ct, Gillette Fusion Hydragel shave gel, 4 bags Nice brand candy, Goody Ouchless headbands 2pk, and a Snickers candy bar.

I feel like I did well today--a lot of high-dollar items for just a little out-of-pocket. I almost spent as much in tax as I did on the actual items today. I did really well at earning rewards--$21 at CVS alone! I've been rocking their sales lately.

Here's a breakdown of each store.
