    Default Freaky Friday

    DH had to go to the DR today. He has Grave's Disease. It was renewal time for him to be written a year script. I had some Target $10 gift card script coupons. I had never done the perscription coupon/gift card new script/transfer stuff before.

    Target

    His script was $4, and I got a $10 gc. .....and away I went, leaving DH with the 7 yo, and 4 yo in the toy department with a $5 a piece spending limit.

    5 candle refills $2.50 - $1.50 = $1 ea
    6 Dove Lotions $5.00 - $1.50 = $3.50 ea
    2 Chex Mix (price matched to Wags $1.50 - $1 tq - $.50 ip)= FREE
    30 Fancy Feast = FREE
    2 Quaker Bites $2.04 - $.50 = $1.54
    1 Apple Jacks $2.99 - $1 tq - $1 mfq = .99 (DH favorite, he wanted)
    1 Tank (DS 4 yo) $5
    1 Barbie (DD 7 yo) $4.97
    1 Mystery Hot Wheel (didn't I already mention DH was with me, )$1
    2 Cinnabon $2.79 - $1 ip = $1.79 (I love these!)
    minus bag credits ebt/gift cards (I did 5 trannys; received/used total of $30 in gift cards)
    Total OOP $10.02 (I somehow made those kids stay in budget!)

    Made a deal if they got to Mickey D it, I got to WAG it!

    So McDonald's got $16 of our purchasing power today (That just burns me up now that I know how much I can get with $16 since I've changed my way a thinking!)

    Mc D's is beside Family Dollar, Swung in left DH in van w/ kids.
    5 Dawn $1.30 - $1 Q = .30 + .11 = $.41 ea

    WAGS OOP $2.20 (6 tranny's walked in with $36 RR's, and out with $16 RR)
    3 Paper Towels (screwed myself $.60 forgot the in ad Q)
    1 Zyrtec
    1 WhiteStrips
    9 Triaminic
    3 Theraflu
    1 Dentek
    2 Zantac
    3 AXE
    7 Candy Fillers
    Pencils
    1 Northern TP (not pictured)

    Local Grocery Stores

    Then on to Pumpkin Shopping we had to have 7 for our pumpkin carving party this weekend. Will post pics if they turn out cool.

    Got Bagel Bites for $1 a box
    and Tornados for $.99 a box
    Bread for $1
    8 Rice Krispy Treats (8 CT) $.50/box
    36 packs Kodak Batteries $.59 ea (on gift card I won last week from local grocery store!)

    My DH would never let me shop that much with him in tow (even for a hotwheel car bribe). Great day of shopping. I got tired just reading the post.

    MTNHONEY, grab your Walgreens sales paper take it back to the store, show them the coupon and ask for the difference. I had this happen one time and my Walgreens gave me the difference.

    Nice deals. I would keep that ad for Walgreens for Target. Kellogg's cereal 12 to 14oz. is on sale for $1.75.

    If you didn't get the gigantor box, I would price match & get that puppy for free.
