Today's Post is Brought to You by the Letter "W"....Walmart & Walgreen's

I had those internet printed Sara Lee $2 off a package of deli meat coupons expiring.  I've priced this product at all the grocery stores I frequent over the last 2 weeks and none of them would allow me to buy this item after using the coupon for less then $3.50!   So I broke down and hoofed over on a RARE trip to Walmart to see how I could make out on Tuesday....of course, I brought along other coupons just in case I found any other deals there.

WALMART
2 x Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice $2.97=$5.94
4 x Sara Lee Lunchmeat  $3.98=$15.92
1 x Sara Lee Bagels=$2.88
1 x Sara Lee Rolls=$2.27
1 x Progresso Panko Crumbs=$1.86
1 x Morton's Kosher Salt=$1.58
1 x 1 Gal. Milk=$3.16 *not pictured*
SubTotal=$33.61

Coupons Used
2 x $2/1 Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice IP Q=$4.00
4 x $2/1 Sara Lee Deli Lunchmeat IP Q=$8.00
2 x $2/1 Bread Product WYB 2 Sara Lee Deli Lunchmeat Tearpad Q=$4.00
1 x $1.10/1 Progresso Bread Crumb Product IP Q=$1.10
Coupons Total=$17.10

$33.61-$17.10+$.36 tax=$16.87 OOP
**Actual OOP was  $15.87, because the cashier somehow took off an extra $1 somewhere.
The Deli Meat was a good price with the $2 Qs but I found a tearpad at Weis last week(over on the gourmet cheese case)with $2 OFF Sara Lee Bread products WYB 2 Sara Lee Packaged Deli Meats.
So I got bread for $.27 and Bagels for $.88.

I hit Walgreen's also on Tuesday as I had RRs expiring....

WALGREEN'S
3 x Ocean Spray 100% Juice on sale $1.99=$5.97
1 x Honey on sale $3.99=$3.99
1 x Sunsweet Apricots on sale $2.00=$2.00
1 x Walgreen's OraGel=$5.99 *not pictured*(Was slathering this on my tooth for relief from the pain until Friday)
SubTotal=$17.95

Coupons
3 x Wags Booklet $1 off Ocean Spray=$3.00
1 x $6 RR
1 x $8 RR
Coupons total=$17.00

$17.95-$17.00=$.95 OOP
Finding Peelie Qs on the Juice(like others have reported)would have been even more awesome but it didn't happen at this store.

I forgot something so I went back in and I got this....

3 x Kleenex reg. $2.59=$7.77
Used Wags Flyer Q $1.09(deducts $1.50 per box)=$4.50 off
$7.77-$4.50=$3.27

Then I used the $1 off Q in the Wags Savings Booklet in the store.
$3.27-$3=$.27 OOP

The cashier didn't say BOO about using both Qs on the Kleenex.  I didn't go back for more since I wasn't feeling well.  I figure with all the Facial Tissue I have already(after all the FREE Marcal Small Steps ones AND the Acme Kleenex from that week), I can donate a bunch or share with BIL and I am still set until Spring.

OOP for the day...$17.09
Value of Items....$59.33
Savings of 71.20%

I am all out of Register Rewards at this point.  It's sort of a relief not to have the pressure of having to find stuff to buy that I can use to roll them right now.  I find it difficult to keep track and juggle the CVS, Wags and Rite-Aid "Games" all at the same time.  I'm going to have to do a bit of pondering on how to handle this in the future.

Do you play all 3 of the Drugstore Games?  How do you manage it?  Any tips for the rest of us?  Please leave a comment or five on the post! 8-)
