Well I went shopping today and even though some of the items on my list were out of stock I still did great! And with bonus coupons and mail in rebate offers it makes it even better.
I went shopping by myself today as Ryan was tied up doing some stuff at home. I don’t usually like to shop by myself but I was confident in my list and was ready to go! Everything went smoothly (except for the few missing items) and even though it took a little longer than it normally would, it was reasonable quick.
I started out by going to Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up a few items. This is what I got:
1 x Nivea Shower Gel with Bonus Antiperspirant $3.99 – $1.00
1 x Multibionta Vitamins 30s $10.49 – $10.00
1 x Secret Collection hosiery $9.99 – $9.99
Total Retail: $33.97
OOP: $3.48
Taxes: $1.88

I was hoping to pick up some Glade aerosols, Cheerios and Stayfree pads today but Walmart was either out of stock or didn’t have the right size. I did however get a raincheck for the Stayfree pads. I know the flyer said it was a Rollback but I always like to be sure when its a great deal! I was also very excited to see that there were still lots of cereal boxes with the Gas Card MIR on them 🙂 I missed out on this promotion last year so I’m glad I get to take part now 🙂 That will be $20 back in our pocket. The milk was also a score for me. We needed milk so I was picking it up either way but got lucky enough to find Natrel 2L cartons on sale with $4.00 in coupons on the back 🙂 Score!
So for the entire trip my totals look like this:
Total Retail: $342.12
OOP: $89.23
Savings Of: $252.89 ~ 74%
