Walgreens isn’t my favorite store, but I did alright today…

They have some good deals on their school supplies this week and I was glad to see that they were fully stocked! I went to the Walgreens by Super Target in Spring.

I am trying to do all my school supply shopping for under $30 for all 4 kids in school. I am going to make it I think!

I loaded up all on the .09 cent and .19 cent items.

I was really happy to see Chinet paper plates were Buy one for $2.99 get one FREE. I used the $1.00 off coupons from last weeks paper to get 12 packs of nice paper plates for $0.50 each. See picture below…

Also, the Physicians Formula makeup was marked down 75% to 80% off. I really like the mineral makeup but usually it is so expensive I never get any. I loaded up today using my $1.00 coupons. Most items were $1.99 to $3.59 on clearance minus my coupon, they were a steal!

My younger sisters babysit for me on occasion, half the time I pay them in makeup and shaving items! I load them up when they leave! They love it!

Be careful that you don’t over spend on school supplies. It is easy to do when everything is on sale at the drugstores. I found Walmart to be the cheapest almost always for school stuff. I went at the beginning of the season and wrote down the prices there to make sure I don’t just buy something somewhere else because it is on sale, Walmart is still cheaper overall for school supplies. I was picky about what I got at Walgreens.

So my total before coupons was $261.24.

Minus clearance items and Walgreens sales I saved $189.04

Minus manufacturers coupons I saved another $33.00

My total was $42.76 with tax. ( Most of that was makeup!)

Every time you buy something from there have the cashier scan the card. When you purchase something that gives you ECB’s back (they are labeled in the store and in the flyer) at the bottom of your receipt a ticket prints off. This ticket is like CASH, don’t loose it.

A day like today…

July 19, 2009 By Tiffany 7 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

Have you ever just had one of those days? We all have the crazy busy, or the “I need 5 more hours in my day” or “I can’t get it all done” days.

But have you ever had a day where you just don’t care?

I really had no emotion all day today, I just didn’t care about anything. Is it the weather? It’s not PMS, or anything like that. Just a weird kind of day…

Somewhere in this weird day I managed to finish off a jar of Nutella that I bought on Thursday. At FULL price even, if you can believe that. In my house I have to hide stuff like this, and I did hide it, so I was the only one eating it. And I. ATE. IT. ALL. By myself…

It didn’t help though, so instead of not feeling any emotion, all I feel is guilt. Today sucks.

I hope your day was better!

CVS Week of 7-19. I paid $1.14 for ALL this!!
