Saved 88% This Week

I ran out to the drugstores Thanksgiving morning before the rest of the family got up.  Both CVS and Walgreens were quite slow.  I was able to hit both of them and get home in about an hour.  I should think more about shopping at 7 am; it makes for a quick trip.

CVS

This was a great week at CVS - chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.  Good thing toothpaste was a great deal, too.  And, finally some good deals on shampoo and rinse.  My stockpile was getting low. 

Before sales, coupons and rolling ECBs: $120.31
Spent: $5.55
Saved: $88.69 for 95%

Walgreens

I didn't pick up too many of the Black Friday deals.  I was more concerned about getting the French's French Fried Onions last Saturday and Kleenex this week.

Before sales, coupons and rolling Register Rewards: $60.79
Spent: $7.45
Saved: $41.94 for a 88% savings

Dollar General

Dollar General isn't a store I shop at often, but I should think about them more.  I ran into a Coupon STL-ite while at Dollar General.  But, I learned my lesson -  don't ever head out shopping without jumping in the shower first or at least running a brush through my hair.  Great to talk to you, Stacy!

Comparable Schnucks price: $12.85
Spent: $3.00

Target

It had been a long time since I'd shopped at Target, but they do have some great deals.  I need to put them on my regular Sunday shopping run.

Splurge Funds: $118.23

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. I use it for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.
