My BIG Shopping Trip & Savings!

Since it's been a crazy week, I wasn't able to head out to the stores until today. However, that allowed me to take advantage of early savings at Walgreens and CVS. All in all, I think the total trip (well-planned out) took about 1 1/2 hours with 3 kids!
With my lists in hand, here's how I did:

I'll start with my favorite deal, which just happened to be at Target! Can you believe I got all these for just $.29/box?! Find out how below:

Here's the Breakdown:

• Kashi Soft-Baked Cereal Bars: $3.29/1 - $1/1 Target IPQ - $2/1 MFR IPQ = Paid $.29/1

Target's store coupons state, "one coupon per transaction," so you'll have to do these in separate transactions. It was worth it for me and my cashier was great about letting me!


Now, on to My Publix Deals:
