This is what $9.84 looks like:
Did you see my bag?!? I had $6 in RR at Walgreens that were expiring tomorrow. There was nothing that I wanted to roll them on to. I checked the food aisles, but there wasn't really anything we needed and not much that doesn't contain HFCS or trans fats. My Walgreens does carry organic milk, but the fine print on the RR excludes dairy.
Anyway, I found that great big insulated bag for $4.99! In this Texas heat, it will be perfect for trips where I'm stopping 2 or 3 places. Woo-hoo!
So, the breakdowns:
Walgreens
1 big 'ol lovely bag $4.99
2 baking soda - 2/$1 with in-ad coupon
1 salt - .50 with in-ad coupon
used $1 RR and $5 RR
spent .49
saved $8.39
Kroger - I heart Kroger
Those big bags of bananas were marked down to .30 PER BAG. I bought 2 bags - 7 lbs of bananas for .60!! They would have been $4 at this week's sales price. I saved a couple for snacking on tomorrow. I peeled the rest, broke them into thirds, and froze them. I'll use them in smoothies or maybe, banana bread. AND only 1 of them had a bad spot. They are perfectly ripe. Another woo-hoo!
The Wholly Salsa was on sale for $1.99. I used a BOGO Wholly Salsa q and a $3 off chips wyb Wholly Salsa q. The BOGO q rang up as $2.99 - the regular price. The chips were $3.49. So, both Wholly Salsas and the chips were $1.48 - total!

Just amazing! I'm back in town and got the coupons for us this morning on our walk. I'll be bringing you 7 sets from this week plus the ones from the past two weeks prior. We've got to get together so I can pass these onto you.
