I haven't had a chance to post each of my trips, but I hit Walgreens several times this week and Publix once, Target twice and had to buy my daughter (who seems to have grown ANOTHER two inches) a pair of shoes and some tights to wear with her Christmas dress. :)
Walgreens
I basically got all the freebies and moneymakers. I don't have any of my receipts in front of me, but I got a few of each and then blew some rr's on drinks and such. :) Hey, if you can't have fun with the rr's once in a while, what's the point?
Acai berry
Olay Lotion
Olay in-shower lotion
No to Carrots lip Balm (Beauty counter had $1/1 coupons, so got those free with the $.99 sale)
Ecotrin
Character Band-aids
Complete lens solution
Zooth/Stages toothbrushes
Oral-B floss
Dentek floss
Arizona tea
Candy Canes (to make peppermint bark)
Pirate's Booty (which my daughter calls Pirate booties. LOL) -used the 2/$4 printable from the website
Simply Apple Juice
Water
I spent only tax for all these things (and a little over for fills) Probably in the neighborhood of $20 and have about $30 more in rr's than I started with.
Target
Was able to do one more Scrubbing Bubbles deal before the "free" Target gift card q expired, as well as free wipes. I wish I'd had more of those with me b/c the store I shopped had TONS!
25 softpacks Toddler wipes (two trips, one I got ten, one I got 15)
4 Scrubbing Bubbles
Spent oop: approximately $3
Leftover: 1 $5 gift card
Publix
At Publix I couldn't find the Covergirl cheap items or the Sundown (I shop a heavily-couponed store) and the Phazyme I ordered did not come in (come to find out it did not get ordered).

$50 BP gift card
-$10/$50 Pxq
$25 Publix gift card (one in each transaction- did two)
When I went to check out, my total was waaaay off. I have been rolling Publix gift cards and my first transaction shuold have been near $25 (since I purchased a Publix gift card and was paying with one from the last trip). It was only $1.75!!! I later looked at my receipts to try to figure it out and I discovered that the cashier did not ring up 14 of my grainola bars! I will take the receipt with me on my next trip and pay for these. I used the qs for them, but didn't pay for the items. I'll make sure that is corrected.
Total oop including the BP gift card was $5.50. (I will go back and pay for the bars, which should be $23.93)
So that will be $29.43 oop, including the $50 BP card.

Who is your favorite cashier at MF store? Do you have any cashiers that you intentionally avoid? I have been going to that one lately since the Concord store no longer accepts Rite Aid, GFS or Wags. I am trying to find my "favorite" cashier yet.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Smyrna (Sam Ridley) store on Friday for a few things. I don't normally shop that store (they are NOT coupon-friendly), but was in the area. They had all the Sundown, CG & Phazyme in stock! I used only Publix & MQ and ended up with $2 oop for $75 worth of groceries.
Jennifer- Mary is my favorite cashier. :) She is about 5'3, has medium-length black/gray hair, wears glasses, maybe in her early 40s. If she's there, I'm in her line. I will wait. She knows me, I share coupons with her and she is used to all the coupons.
ReplyDeleteI avoid the older cashier who (I think?) is autistic. He is super duper slow. Nice, but you'll be in line forever. Plus he hates overage. Heidi is a young female cashier who doesn't like couponers. I avoid her too. Other than that, the rest of them are fine. :)
I've shopped the Smyrna store once and I had a great experience. I am never down that way, but that one day I was over there, so I couldn't resist running in.
