Coupons, Take III

Yesterday I did a coupon marathon run before picking up Sully to go back to work for a concert. I knocked out the stores in little over an hour. Here's what I was able to score, the entire excursion costing me about $88 bucks.

Ralphs
(2) 32 oz. bottles of Lysol 4-in-1 cleaner
(2) 32 oz. bottles of Lysol Mildew Bathroom cleaner
(10) 16 oz. bottles of Honest Tea (Normally $2.49 a bottle, got them for .50 each!)
6 boxes of Special K cereal
3 boxes of Hamburger Helper starters
(3) 4-carton packages of Boost Children's Drink (Normally $9.99 got it for $3.99!)
Carton Blue Diamond Almond Milk
(5) 64 oz. bottles of Juicy Juice (Normally $4.19, got them for .99 cents each!)
Cost before coupons and rewards: $154.95
What I actually spent: $63.66

Big Lots
7 rolls of 4-pack Angel Soft toilet paper
10 bottles of Gatorade
What I spent: $13.40

Kohls
3 large beach towels (Pool weather is starting!)
Retail price: $59.97
After sale and coupons, what I actually spent: $11.18

Fresh and Easy
I'll spare you the details of my grocery list for the week, but I will let you know we saved over $5 in store by shopping their sales, and then saved an additional $23 bucks in store coupons, yay!

We've decided to put some shelves up in the garage for our growing stockpile, which is kind of cool to see as it's starting to grow. I never did get my Lipton Ice Tea for under $10 bucks. =( By the time I got to the store (and I checked two different locations) all they had were flavors we're not fans of. So I'll be using my coupons at Target instead to get 10 bottles for free. Not as great but I'll take it.

Wednesday night I ventured out to Petco to get a few things for our new pup, Buster. Using my Pals card ....

Dog bed normally $14.99 got it for $7.49
Dog ball normally $3.99 got it for $2.98
Dog harness normally $19.99 found THE last one there in the style for $4.00!
His dang dog tag was the most expensive thing at $8 bucks!

I feel like I'm shopping all the time now, which is crazy because I know that by shopping all the time I'm actually saving us way more money than before when we would go out and buy things as needed, regardless of sales or thinking about prices. It's kind of crazy how that works. Even Shaun is getting into it, how cool is that?!
