I set off yesterday with $11 left of my grocery budget and a whole bunch of coupons to see what I could do at Walmart....
Here's what I got:4 lb. bag of Purina Puppy Chow $4.48 - $4.00 coupon= $0.48 (this coupon is good on any purina dogfood)
Pert Plus shampoo $2.68 - $2.00 coupon= $0.68
Balmex diaper rash cream $2.98 - $1.00 coupon= $1.98 (not great but I needed it!)
Travel size Tylenol $1.98 - $1.00 coupon= $.98
Travel size lotion $.98 - $1.00 coupon= $.02 overage!
2 boxes of Kashi granola bars $5.96 - $2.00 coupon= $3.96 (cashier wouldn't let me use a coupon on each box. If I'd known I would have only gotten 1.)
2 cans Muir Glen organic tomatoes $3.52 - $2.00 coupons= $1.52
Planter's peanuts $2.68 - $3.00 coupon= $0.32 overage (but I had to buy Koolaid to get the $3 off so the peanuts ended up truly costing me $0.28. SNORT)
3 pkgs Koolaid $.60
2 Johnson's Buddies soaps $1.88 - $2.00 coupons= $0.12 overage
2 pkgs Bic pens $1.76 - $1.00 coupon= $o.76
Nerds $.88 (for the boys putting up with mommy's shopping spree)
Now I can't give you exact numbers because I bought something that rang up REALLY wrong and I had to return it, but roughly I spent $13.00
Now, I wouldn't have gone over if the cashier had let me use the other coupon....I worked retail for over 5 years but I'm just not going on my soapbox tonight:)
