My 4/23 Walgreens Trip – $70.69 for $21.07 or 70% Off

My mom gave me a $5/$55 Winn Dixie catalina that I used today but I didn’t have a whole bunch of stuff on my list so I had planned to get an Adirondack chair (on sale for $16.99 this week) to reach $55 but my store didn’t have any.  That means I had to scramble quick to make up the difference so I could hit $55 – luckily I always carry a bunch of “free” coupons with me for just such an occasion.  I used free coupons for the Home Run Inn pizzas (they were a Klout perk), Gorton’s fish sticks (from a giveaway I won), Yoplait yogurt and Hillshire Farm lunch meat (qs from blogging conferences).  Today I bought $93.86 worth of groceries for $15.84 or 83% off after coupons and $10 RR.  Here are the deals:

I forced hubby to go to CVS with me today so I could double up on the Blink Tears deal and the greeting cards – I absolutely love having a stockpile of cards on hand for all those times that I forget a birthday until the last minute, or need to grab a card on the way to a get together.  The cards could have been a money maker deal if my store carried Hallmark cards because I have the coupon, but my store only carries American Greetings.  Is that regional?  Does anyone know if some stores carry one line and other stores carry another?  Today I bought $50.78 worth of goodies for $9.74, or 81% off.  Here are the deals:

Due to the Easter holiday over the weekend, the new Publix weekly ad started today so I went ahead and did my grocery run too while I was out, which means I’ll take the day off from shopping on Wednesday.  I went ahead and shopped in Florida today where the Publix stores are true BOGO, rather than half off like I’m used to with the Alabama stores so I’m embarrassed that I messed up and left the store without my free loaf of bread.  I didn’t even realize it until I got home either – oh well, I’m used to learning things the hard way  I did the $10 off a $50 gas card deal and I used the $5/$30 Publix coupon from yesterday’s newspaper to make for some great deals.  Today I bought $58.08 worth of groceries for $15.71, or 73% off after coupons.  Here are the deals:
