My post-shopping deal totals this week of 8/24/08

I just got back from my August 24th, 2008 deal week 4-store trip today. Although, like always, there were a few things not in stock or not at the price I originally thought, I really was pleased with my deals for today!

• 3 jars peanut butter
• 2 nail polishes
• 1 box of puffs tissues
• 3 packs of gum
• 3 All & Mighty travel detergents
• 1 Airwick Freshmatic
• 2 South Beach drink mix packs
• 1 South Beach frozen pizza
• 2 boxes of cereal
• 4 packs of YO-plait yogurt
• 2 Johnson's buddies kid soaps
• 1 prep H wipes pack
• 3 Visines
• 3 Kotex pad packs
• 1 Playtex sport
• 2 Hand Sanitizers
• 4 12-packs Pepsi cans
• 5 Life Waters
• 2 Zipp Fizz

Are you dying to know my totals? Maybe you aren't but I am going to brag about it anyway!Four stores (click each link to see how I planned these deals) -

• Walgreens $24.52
• Target $3.00
• Walmart $44.91
• CVS $38.92

My total was $111.35
After sales and coupons I paid out of pocket:

• Walgreens $3.46
• Target $0.00
• Walmart $11.88
• CVS $.87

My total out of pocket was $16.21 (includes tax)
This brings my total savings this week to $95.14.

Also I got $21.47 back in Extra Care Bucks to use on another trip!

Even after some surprises like Target being out of all but one item I was had on my list and Walmart's pricing being a tad bit higher than I expected I still made out very well. I did even better at CVS than I thought even though the $1 cereal was not as varied as I would have liked.

We are adding the Playtex from CVS to our benevolence shelf .
