Trip to Walgreens - 5/9/11

Well I did manage to make it out to Walgreen's today and I was quite pleased with the outcome. Here's the details.

Purchases:

Pampers Swaddlers Diapers Size 2 (36 count) (2)
One A Day Prenatal Vitamins (30+30 size) (2)
Clean & Clear Body Wash (2)
Clean & Clear Foaming Cleanser (2)
L'Oreal Go 360 Cleanser (1)

Walgreen's sale savings - $25.87
Coupon savings - $15.04

Total Out of Pocket Cost - $60.87

Also, upon checkout I received $3 in Register Rewards for next time, a $2 Pampers coupon, and a new 10 point code for the Pampers Gifts to Grow program.

Now, while this certainly isn't the best I've ever done I am still quite pleased at the total. There were a few things in there I really had to pick up so I was glad to find a sale at all. Here's how it breaks down. the diapers are regularly $10.99/each, but on sale for $9 plus $3 in Register Rewards when you buy two. I also had 2 Pampers coupons available for $1.50 and $1.75 off. So now $22 of diapers became $14.75 plus $3 for later use.

Next the Prenatal Vitamins. These things are ridiculously expensive in my opinion and I would have preferred to wait on a better sale but I'm on my last bottle so I'll take what I can get. they are regularly $22 but on sale buy one get one half off. I also had two One A Day vitamin coupons for $1 each. Now $44 of vitamins became $31. I've actually had a slightly hard time finding these vitamins on sale. The regular One A Days go on sale frequently, but not the prenatals.

Clean & Clear body wash is $5.99/each and on sale buy one get one free. One of the coupon/shopping blogs I follow matched this sale up with a C&C buy one get one free coupon from the paper a couple of weeks ago. $12 of body wash is now free!

Clean & Clear foaming cleanser is $5.79/each and on sale buy one get one half off. I printed two $2 off one C&C product before I left and $11.50 in face wash became less than $4.75

Lastly is the L'Oreal Go 360 Cleanser. Although I tried i could not find a coupon for this item and it's one of those things I should have stocked up on with previous coupons, but didn't, so I had to buy one because I'm out. It was on sale from $7.29 to $5.29, at least I didn't get stuck with full price.

All in all I feel it was a successful trip considering the things I needed to pick up and their original costs. I was running out of some expensive stuff! About 40% off original prices sounds good to me!
