Yay shopping! Haven’t been able to get out shopping the last two weeks because of the holidays so today was like a breath of fresh air. Except that you could barely breathe because of the snowstorm in Chicago, but that’s okay. I was the only one in the stores, so I’m not complaining! I went out shopping first thing this morning, so I did not get the Slim-Fast deal or the Met-RX deal (yet!!), so don’t forget to include those in your shops this week! Here’s what I did:
CVS

2 Nature Valley Granola Bars 2/$6 (Used 2 $1.25 coupons (no longer available)

2 Skinny Cow Candy 2/$2 (Used B1G1 from 1/5 SS)

When all was said and done I spent $10.38. Considering all that I was able to get – most of which I actually needed for my household! – I’m pretty pleased. I saved 97% at CVS and 73% at Walgreens. I’m good with that! And best of all, there was absolutely no register drama! Happy shopping!
