I just got done adding up how I did this week in my first week of couponing/drug store hopping. Now normally, I just go to Wal Mart. I made a list of what I got this week at Walgreens, CVS and Rite-Aid and marked which ones I would have bought this week regardless. The total at WalMart prices came to $125(and that was giving them some slack to best case scenario). What I actually spent for those things and way much more was $104 (the rest of the things that I got would have been at least an additional $132). When you factor in rebates, gift of savings and unspent ECBs and RR that I will use, I will have only spent $9. And I only had coupons from 12/16 (bought 3 papers) and what is available online. I have no stockpile. Additionally, most of the money for the stamps to mail the rebates and free gift offers comes from change I found lying around the parking lots.

I got a nice plain offwhite 3X5 area rug for $10!!!

we went to get one at Wal mart today and ended up coming home with a wii LOL-just happened to walk in at the right time.

Great!! I just got a new table for a Christmas present and I have been pestering DH to get new rugs!!

I went and got the entertainment book and I bought two of the movie size candies but it wouldn't take both coupons even though the cashier put in the $5 off first (it went through but then voided when the $10 coupon went through). I already did the shampoos earlier that day (someone got the conditioners though-which I actually need). I didn't have any of my other coupons with me and my son was in non-stop talk mode. I ended up getting 4 more of the movie candies which bumped me to $31 and then it took both coupons. First Trip 4 things of coke $11 2 Pantene shampoos @3.59 1 Infusium shampoo @3.59 (i Just started this kind of thing so coupon stock lol) $16.77-$5 =$11.77 and got $14 in RR went back and got Entertainment book $25 (i got the last one) 6 movie candies (2/$2) -needed for movie baskets anyway and was going to Dollar Tree to get it. used $10 RR and paid $6.07 out of pocket

Swing is now $10.19 -last day to get free shipping and receive before Christmas

I looked at the clearance video games today -most were 50% off but a few were 75% off. I can't recall the titles offhand though.

It was the customer service rep - I think she was purposely trying to aggravate me because I was making her have to work and she was just very confused about coupon terminology etc -I just tried to politely explain to her but bless her heart, she just was not going to budge. I just smiled and stayed polite and counted my blessings. I need to go to the other Target and see if they have a different stackable studio anyway.

My Target wouldn't let me buy two sets at once.

I got a camoflauge T-shirt for $1.24 boys sneakers $3.94 girls red plaid sneaker flats $3.24 mine had a bunch of Bratz dolls on clearance (30% off) and not marked but found a Bratz headset on sale for $5.XX. It is on sale at amazon for $4.50 right now though. It is $14.XX at Wal mart.
