Shopping adventure 12.6.12


After checking some store sales, online and in print, and made a list of items I 
was interested in.  I then checked to see if any coupons would work along with the 
sales. Luck has it I did have some.

So wrapped up my list, and a bit of coupons too and off we go to Walmart to use our matchups.

Here is a pic of some of the biggest items I matched up.


Here's a breakdown of the main items I saved on which are in this picture.

                    Total reg price                 Purchase price              Saved
                       $ 109.04                         62.08                        $46.98   Woo Hoo!

Savings of $46.98 on this trip on the main items I purchased.  I did have other matchups
with sales and coupons, but smaller savings here and there.  

Since I saved over $46 - it's just the same as getting a raise this week of over $1 per hour
And not one single thing is something I wouldn't purchase anyway or at least want to try 
new item.  

You can do this too if you follow along with us on our shopping adventures.
