8.29 paid oop after coupons

I am really irritated with myself that I didn't make sure my subtotal was $50 before he started scanning coupons. My oop should have been under $5. By the time I realized what happened, my coupons had all been scanned and the $5/50 Kmart Q wouldn't work. Oh well, I won't complain, I donated my $5/50 Q to the other coupon lady in line behind me. She printed hers out & forgot it at home. At least someone got to use it!

This is why I love Catalinas!

Total cost 3.88! First, I hit up CVS. I found Bounty single rolls for .55 each. I had some .25/1 and 1/1 Qs, which made these either ridiculously cheap or free. Then, I got 2 Dawn soaps for the $1 eb deal making both free. Finally, I found the CVS clearance section and scored on some SUPER CHEAP baby motrin. This stuff is usually $8-9 a bottle, but both were marked down to .89 each! They don't expire until next year, so I grabbed both of them. We will definitely use them for teething. So, at CVS I spent $2.94. Then, I headed over to Bashas to use up some Catalinas for essentials that I never have coupons for. To me, this is the purpose of Catalinas. I got 4 gallons of milk and 2 dozen eggs for .94 after Catalinas. (And yes, we will definitely drink all of this milk - probably in a week. We are big milk drinkers in this house.)

Hurry, get your $1 pizza and help out a good cause!
