So, I went out tonight and had my 2nd extreme coupon shopping trip. It went good and bad. First, I realized that I didn't check some of my coupons closely enough and didn't get as great a deal on several things. Below is my shopping summary.
Walmart
Thought Dole Tropical Fruit cans would be $0.92/can but they were $1.66/can for large cans and $1.18/can for small cans. I had 3 coupons that were good for $1 off 2 cans. However, only 1 of the coupons worked since it was for cans and the other 2 were specifically for jars. I ended up spending $8.18 for 6 cans of tropical fruit. Not a good deal AT ALL!!!
Target
Target went much better than Walmart. I went there initially to pick up Dr. Scholls insole inserts & school supplies and found a good deal on fruit snacks.
Dr. Scholl inserts were on sale; 1 was $7.49 and the other was $8.99. I had a manufacturer coupon for $2 for each insert and I had a $5 Target gift card from a prior deal. If you bought 2, you received a $5 Target gift card. My total for the inserts was $3.74/insert
Walgreens
So, I had 4 separate transactions at Walgreens that went fairly well. I did forget 1 coupon but I guess it's not the end of the world.

Tomorrow I hope to pick up 4 free chocolate bars from Walgreens and a tube of GenTeal lubricant drops that are normally $10.99 but I will use a $5 Walgreens coupon and a $1.50 manufacturer coupon making the total cost for the tube $4.49 which is a heck of a deal for this item!!!
