I have moved into Randalls for the week!

I could not believe my luck. I received a 10% off card in the mail from Randalls this week, so I called to have it added to my existing card and somehow now I have 2 10% discounts coming off for a total of 20% off all my shopping until 5-6! So at lunch I decided to see what I could get cheap and here is what I came up with:

Part of Living Well promo(spend $30 get back $10 catalina)
1 No Yolk Noodles $1.50 - .75 coupon (3-15SS)
10 Yoplait yogurts @ .50 each (wyb 10) - .25 each for reduced for quick sale stickers(no coupon because I didn't have it with me, but there is a .40/6 cups from 4-19 SS that would have saved me another .80)
6 Ziploc freezer bags $3.29 each - 2 $1/2 coupons (3-15 SS) 2 .40/1 coupons(1 doubles 3-15 SS)
2 California Pizza Kitchen melts @ $2.50 each - $1 blinkies

Not part of LW:
5 Pedigree Dentastix* $5.99 each - $2.50 coupon (4-19 RP)
2 Pillsbury crescent rolls $1.50 each - .40/2 doubled(4-5SS)
1 Pillsbury cinnamon rolls $1.79 - .30/1 tripled(4-5 SS)
1 Kids reusable shopping bag $1.99 - $2 coupon wyb $50 worth of stuff
-11.20 (20% discount)
-15 ($10 in prior Lw catalina, $3 prior Pillsbury catalina, $2 prior catalina from Ozarka)
Spent $18.31 oop + 15 in cats and got back $10 from Lw, 3 $1.25 from Ziploc, $3 from Pillsbury

*Pedigree Dentastix I bought were marked 2/$6 or $3 each in the store I shopped. However, they rang up $5.99 each, hence the large oop!
I went to the service desk and they confirmed the shelf tag and gave me back $21.60 in cash(difference between (5.99-3) * 5 times + tax)
I am not sure where they came up with this amount to give me back???? I was in a hurry since it was my lunch hour, so I didn't noticed it was higher than I should of got until I got back to work!

So final tally that run:
Cost: $18.31 + $10 +$3 + $2 = $33.31
Received: $ 21.60 + $10 LW + $3 + $3.75 = $38.35
Profit: $5.04


After coming home and dropping off the kiddos, I convinced dh to let me hit another store! I scored finding peelies and hangtags and got the following:

Part of Lw Promo:
2 Cranergy juice $2.99 each - $2 hangtags
2 Ocean Spray juices $2.50 - 2.50 each(free wyb 2 Smart Start cereal peelies)
4 Smart Start Cereal $2.79 each - $1 peelies off THIS Kelloggs cereal
2 Ziploc bags $3.29 each - 2 .40/1 coupons (one doubles)
1 Simply Oj $3

Not part of Lw Promo:
3 Pillsbury cinnamon rolls $1.79 each - .30/1 coupons (one triples)
3 Glade scented gel warmer $2.29 - free SC Johnson booklet coupon
1 Randalls reusable bag $1.49 - free coupon(took off $2???)

- 5.70 (20%)
-10 Lw catalina
- 1.25 (prior Ziploc catalina)
Paid $4.15 oop and earned back
$10 Lw catalina, 1 $1.25 catalina and 1 $3 catalina for Pillsbury

So final tally that run:
Cost: $4.15 + $10 +$1.25 = $15.40
Received: $ 10 LW + $3 + $1.25 = $14.25
Cost: $1.15

So $1.15 - $5.04 = -$3.89 Profit for the day! I can live with that. I needed orange juice, so to get paid to buy it and all this other stuff is ok with me.

110 Energizer AA Batteries for $5.36

I stopped by Walgreens in hopes of getting some Nivea Bodywash for free after RR. They were sold out so I looked around the store to see if anything else was worth the stop. I stumbled upon an orange clearance tag on Energizer 2 count AA batteries. They were only $1.09 each and we got $1 off any coupons in the 4-19SS newspaper inserts. Luckily, I had 55 of those coupons and even more lucky that I went to a VERY VERY coupon friendly store that the manager actually rang me up and cheered me on! So after the clearance sale and all my coupons I paid $5.36($4.95 + .41 tax). Definitely need these for our portable radios with the weather we have been having and hurricane season just around the corner.
