Walmart shopping trip

It has been a while since I have really gotten some great deals with coupons or anything, so it's about time I got some good things. I have heard many times that there are people that don't go shopping unless they will be paid to shop. That is a little extreme to me and hard to believe that they will get everything  they need and be paid for it every time. I just try to do the best I can with what I have. Like this week, I really needed milk and cheese and I tried to print coupons for them, but my printer is out of ink, so it printed, but nothing appeared on the paper, so there goes a couple coupons I missed out on, oh well. But, we got some really great coupons this week in our 5 inserts we got! One of my favorite was $8/2 covergirl face products. This was a wonderful mney maker for me at Walmart. Here's what I got:

Might be kind of hard to see, but I got 16 cans GV tomato sauce (.25 each), 12 cans Spaghetti Os (.50 each price matched from Lee's caselot sale), 2 cans S & W chili beans (.69 each price match), 2 Tresemme mousse with bonus ($2.48), Aquafresh travel size (.97), 4 Oral B glide dental floss ($2.47), 8 Covergirl facial sponges ($2.94), and 1 bag cotton balls.

Before coupons my total was $52.67, after coupons I only paid $9.46!! That's around a 90% savings, not bad at all!! I love when I save so much money like that!

Here's the skinny and where to find these great coupons:

Oral B complete satin floss - SS 9/11, $2/1 = .47 each
Covergirl any face product - P&G 10/2, $8/2 = $2.12 overage for every two
Campbell's Spaghetti Os - DishSS 9/11, .40/2 = .30 each
S & W beans - RP 9/11, .50/2 = .44 each
Aquafresh toothpaste $1/1 = .03 overage
Tresemme styling product - RP 10/2, BOGO = $2.48 for both (I told the cashier the wrong price on these, they should be $3.33, I will go back and make it right, just know when you go, they are $3.33!)

That's the skinny! There is also a coupon for Scrubbing Bubbles one step toilet bowl cleaner kit - Dish SS 9/11, $4/1, these are $3.97 at Walmart which makes them FREE, but they were all out when I went, so I will kep checking back. Hope you have as much fun shopping and saving money as I do, it helps my family so much!

If you want to learn about saving money with coupons, please let me know and I can teach your friends and family how to save lots of money! It's not hard and doesn't take much time the Grocery Smarts way!
