My Shopping Trips Yesterday

When my husband got home yesterday, I went SHOPPING.  My family is getting here tonight and it was *supposed* to be raining all night and all day today, so I didnt want to drag the girls out in the rain.  (I haven't seen the first drop of rain)  I'm really glad I went though, because my ankle is killing me today, so I have not finished cleaning my house. 
In all, I went to three stores:  CVS, Walgreens, and Aldi.

First at CVS, here is what I got:

I had $10 extra bucks to start with, and I ended up spending $8.80 and I got back $13.49 in extra bucks to use next time.  There was also a bottle of frappuccino that is not pictured =P  Also that magazine will have its own blog post coming soon.  it is called Reinventing Beauty and is put out by CVS and contains CVS store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons, plus it only costs $0.99.  I'll tell you all about what is in it soon.  Check near the front registers at your store.  That is where I found it.

Next up, I went to Walgreens.  This is not one of my favorite stores to shop at (probably because I used to work there), but they had a good sale on some meds my husband needs, and the new Schick Hydro razor.  Each produced a $5 register reward, which I turned around and used on some salt packets for my neti pot.  I threw in a pack of straws that we needed that were on coupon in their ad for $0.50, so that second transaction only cost me $0.49.

From there, I went to Aldi to get some groceries.  Since they are opening alot of new stores in Texas, we had gotten a flyer in the mail about a new location in Rockwall, and the flyer had a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase.  My total for all of this came out to $45.59, so I paid $35.59 for all of it after the coupon deducted.
