Publix and Target 7/22

Great trip today! I needed to go to Target for the Charmin and Bounty moneymaker and then to Publix of course.

At Target, they had all the things in stock my Target doesn't carry (woo-hoo!) so I had to figure out what to eat $7 of mm with- so I figured I'd get detergent. If I had been thinking ahead and brought a $1 Tide q with me, I could have saved an additional dollar. The cashier also missed one of my $1/1 Charmin q's, so that was another dollar I shouldn't have spent.

Target
8 Bounty Basic $.99/ea
$1/1 Bounty (home mailer), $.25/1 Bounty mq
8 Charmin To Go $1/ea
$1/1 Charmin (P&G $120 book), $.25/1 mq
6 Q-Tip travel kits $.87 (sale)
$1/1 mq (Family is Its Own Reward booklet)= -$.13
6 Kashi cereal bowls $1/ea
$1/1 Kashi Targetq= Free
then I used 8 of the $1.50 wyb both Charmin and Bounty. Of course all these q's beeped (except the $.25/1 Bounty ones and, oddly enough, the Kashi ones), but I went to the young male cashier and he just pushed them all through.
total tax: $1.58
Total oop: $3.66 (should have been $2.66. And could have been $1.66 w/Tide q. darnit)
Total savings: $33.60 (89%) but should have been $34.60 for a 92% savings.

Then on to Publix. Saw the store manager and chatted with him for a minute (he is so nice!), then saved oodles at checkout. After I got to the car and put all the stuff in, I realized I had forgotten to get the sour cream and tortillas I added last minute, handwritten on my list. I went back in, carrying Z in one arm and picked up a basket with the other arm while trying to figure out what else I could get and get the items for free.
Mind you, I normally figure all this out days in advance. I remembered I had gotten an awesome q in the mail from Save-a-Lot's baby club for $5/$10 purchase, and that I had Kashi cereal q's for $1/1 and so I strolled over to check the price on the small bowls. $1. Awesome. So I picked up my tortillas and sour cream, which added up to $3.88. Got the last four Kashi bowls for $4 and needed something else to fill. So I had two $.50/1 Dole q's, grabbed two small cans of pineapple for $.89 and then figured I needed something else around a buck. Since I was on the aisle, I picked up a can of Dole canned pears that were 5/$5. Hoped my math was semi-correct since I was holding the basket, my purse and my son, who was leaning forward trying to pull things out of the basket the whole time. LOL.
After checkout- $.08. I was very proud of myself for that. Although the bagger and cashier teased me about forgetting things since I am always so organized. Heh.
