First Shopping Experience

Well, I finally got my coupon binder together minus the card holder pages. I thought I found them at Walmart but when I got home, I realized I bought individual sleeves and not pages with multiple sleeves that could be placed in my binder. I finally found what I needed at Target and can now sort and store my coupons the right way!

I also put together my first shopping list and ventured out to Target and Walgreens. Here is how my shopping experience went:

Target:
- Neutrogena Wave Sonic face cleanser $9 (normally $16.99, on sale for $13 plus I had a $3
manufactuer's coupon and a $1 Target Neutrogena coupon)
- Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner $5.49 (normally $6.49 but I had a $1 Target Neutrogena coupon)
- Neutrogena Lip Balm $2.99
Overall I spent $17.48 for all 3 items and I got a $5 giftcard from Target with their Neutrogena promotion.

- Mens blue jeans $3.98 ea (on clearance for $6.98 plus I had a $3 Target coupon for denim)
- 2 pack of Sharpie permanent markers $0 (on sale for $1 and I had a $1 Target Sharpie coupon)
- 10 count Ballpoint pens $0 (on sale for $1 and I had a $1 Target Ballpoint coupon)

Walgreens 1st Transaction:
- Infusium 23 Shampoo $4.99 (on sale for $5.99, I had a $1 manufacturer coupon and I got $4 in Register Rewards (RR))
- GUM dental floss $2 (on sale for $2 and I got $2 in Register Rewards)

Walgreens 2nd Transaction:
- Infusium 23 Conditioner $0.99 (on sale for $5.99, I had a $1 manufacturer coupon and I used the $4 RR)
- GUM dental floss $0 (on sale for $2 and I used the $2 RR)
- Blistex lip balm $0.99 (bought this since I had 3 coupons and only 2 items orginally, need to have as many items as you have coupons at Walgreens)

All in all, it was a GREAT first experience and I can't wait to plan my next purchases tomorrow night!!!!
