Walmart & Family Dollar Trip – Saved 99%!!

by Dian on September 3, 2010PinItGoogle+

I didn’t find anything too interesting this week, so my shopping trip was not huge.  I did pretty well, though, for what I got!

Walmart & Family Dollar Shop

I bought those Gain for FREE at Walmart, they were on for $.97 each and the Coupon was for $1/1 8/29 Proctor & Gamble!  Then I went to the Family Dollar Store and got the 3 toothbrushes with $3/3 8/1 Smart Source and 7 Post-it Notes with $1/1 8/15 Smart Source for FREE and the Band-Aids I used the Coupon $3/3 8/1 Smart Source and they were $1.10 each, so with the Coupon I got them for $.10 each!

So, everything above cost me $.30!  Before Coupon it would have been $22.03 – I saved $21.73 or 99%!!!

Total:  $21.73

Paid:  $.30

Saved: $21.73 or 99%

So, Candice and I told you how we did, how did you do?

I did great this week… I got 12 post its from walmart FREE…. They were only ringing up for .50 each so i used 6 coupons… Will be going back to get 12 more… 8-) Only got 1 free Gain dish soap… At VONS i bought the Kraft cheese, they have a sale… Buy 3 at $1.69 ea – $1.00 off = .69 bag of cheese… the other 2 i got at $1.99 – $1.00 = .99 cream cheese…. Ended up saving $24.00 on that purchase…..

Another savings was at walmart… My subtotal was $64.13 after coupons, $39.47 = $24.66 in savings….

We are keeping all receipts from this month so we can see exactly how much i saved… So far in 1 week i have $48.00 in the jar….. YIPPPEEEEEE !!!!

@Candice: I got mine at Family Dollar. I heard some Target’s have them for $1, but, I don’t know. You can just take your coupons and the Walmart coupon policy with you…
Let me know where you end up getting them!
Thanks!
