I’ve done a bunch of shopping these last few days. Yesterday I went to Indianapolis with my mom and some friends to do some Christmas shopping. It was a lot of fun, and I got some pretty good stuff! Today I did some shopping around town with the always patient hubby. He gets a gold star for taking me all over creation.
CVS
1 Honey Nut Cheerios – 2/$6, w/$2 ECBs wyb 2, used $1 coupon
1 Fiber One Frosted Shredded Wheat – 2/$6, w/$2 ECBs wyb 2, used $.75 coupon
1 Mentos – $.89
Total Cost: $6.93
Coupons: $1.75
ECBs: $5
GC: $.18
And I got back $2 ECBs for the cereal and $1 for my Green Bag Tag, so this cost $2.18. I can’t complain too much. My ECBs were expiring, so I had to use them up.
Walgreens

1 Dulcolax – $7 w/$4 RR, used $3 MFC
1 Aussie – $2.99 w/$2 RR, used $1 MFC
1 Popular Science – $4.99

And I got back $7 in RR, so this cost $5.80. I got the Popular Science because Wolfram|Alpha was named the #1 computing innovation in 2009. I had to have a copy of that.

So, all in all, not a bad day of shopping. I’m especially happy with all the veggies! $.30 each is terrific. You’ve got until the end of the day Tuesday to pick some up for yourself!
