Walmart & Walgreen's report!

I hit Walgreen's and Walmart this morning and have so much to share!
It makes such a difference when you hit the store at the beginning of the sale! We knew this already, but what a great reminder!
For those who weren't able to get there today, I have it on good authority that Walgreen's will have several of their Register Reward items restocked this Thursday afternoon! Things like the Baby Magic Body Wash and Lotion, Shick Razor and the Vitamins, among others.

 Here's an important note: The Butterball chicken broth is not available at Walmart. At least not the Springville one, so no ad matching there. :(  So you want to hurry in so you don't miss out!
The Butterball broths were 2/$1, limit 4 and you need the in-ad coupon.
 The 2 Finish Dishwasher products were on sale for $3.49. There was a Walgreen's coupon in their March coupon booklet for -$1/1 which brought them down to $2.49 each. I had the Finish coupons for -.75/1 that expire today. This brought them down to just $1.74 ea! This is an item that retails for close to $6 and even $7 ea depending on the store!
 The store brand maxi pads were B1G1 50% off or 2/$4.48.
I wasn't expecting them, so it was a nice surprise as this was my stock up item for the day.
 The Nature Made Chewable Vitamin C bottles were B1G1 FREE. Plus I had two coupons, one for -$3 and the other for -$1, both from the All You magazine. This equaled out to $4.49 for the pair!!
 The following items were Register Rewards products:

Antiaging Vitamins $10
w/$10 RR= FREE
Schick Hydro Razor $8.99
-$2 mfr coupon
w/$6 RR= .99
Aquaphor  Lip Repair $4.99
-$1 mfr coupon
w/$4 RR= FREE
Baby Magic  16.5 oz Lotion $3
w/$3 RR= FREE
NasoGel Spray $4.99
-$1 mfr coupon on package
w/$4.99 RR= FREE + $1!!!
So it took four transactions and the total retail value was $74.94 before tax.
The total paid before tax: $14.43
Can you say amazing?!?!?! Yes folks, that's less than 25% of retail!! The lesson learned here is this: though you may not need all of the Register Reward items, you will often spend less if you will just go ahead and take advantage of them!!! The manager of the cosmetics department at the Springville Walgreen's is an amazing woman and was incredibly helpful to me today. I wouldn't have saved nearly so much if it weren't for her!
 On to Walmart....

                                                                                     A few things that were regular Walmart price that I took advantage of:
Pop Weaver 24 ct Microwave Popcorn $5
Salsa $1.98
Disney Gummies Children's Vitamins $5
-$1/1 mfr coupon
Kikkoman Soy Sauce $1.42
-$1/1 Kikkoman mfr online coupon
Yakisoba noodles  .58
-.50/1 mfr coupon
Playtex Sport Tampons 18 ct $3.97
-$2/1 mfr coupon
Slimfast Meal Shakes $4.98
-$1/1 mfr coupon
Slimfast Meal Bars $4.98
-$1/1 mfr coupon
Stayfree Maxi Pads $2.86
                                                                                     -B1G1 FREE mfr coupon



Here we have the Nivea Lip Care items that I ad matched with Rite Aid for $1 ea,
-$2/2 Facebook Nivea coupon.

I also found bagged salad for .99 ea
and ad matched 1 gal Milk with Smith's $1.99.
1 lb bag Baby Carrots .98 ea!
I found two fabulous clearance bras for $5 and $7 each and a couple of bananas @ .52/lb (too expensive but my son really wanted them!) I also splurged and grabbed 3 canvas totes that are part of our kitchen remodel. They were full price, but with all the money I have saved, I felt good about getting them anyway at $9 ea.
Total retail value at Walmart: $150.82 (before tax)
Total spent: $81.92 (before tax) 
Ps. The Jiffy mix that is on sale at Macey's for 2/$1 is beaten at Walmart where I found it for just .48 ea. I hate when that happens! The more you shop though, I guess the more you realize which deals are actually unbeatable. :)
