Today's shopping

Today I swung by Target, Office Depot, CVS & the Grocery Store so here's how we did:

Target:
8.00 (4) Ziploc Containers (on sale 2/$4)
-4.00 (4) $1 Manuf Q

10.00 (6) Pack Solo Plastic plates (sales $2.50 each)
-2.00 (2) $1/2 Manu Q
-3.00 $3/$15 Target Partyware Q

10.00 (10) Quaker Bites
-5.00 (10) .50 Target Q
***I had manu Q for $1/2- but I was being stupid & didn't read the Q correctly, it was off the boxes NOT any......ERRRRRR!!!!
--------
20.48 total oop

I would love to give you %'s etc, except Target doesn't print normal prices or how much you saved on their receipts & I don't have time to figure today.  Still not a bad deal for the ziploc and the plates.  I hated making the $5 quaker mistake, but I'm the one who made it- the line was long, so I didn't want to be a jerk & go & return them-but maybe I should have, but that might be crossing the line between fugal to cheap! :)

Office Depot (in same shopping center as Target)
I figured since I was there I would pick up more school supplies for the drive:

11.60 (40) folders
-11.20 sale

19.90 (10) protractors
-19.80 sale
-------
$33.78 before sales
-33.24 sales (saved 98.04%) whoo-hoo
------
$0.54 total oop

-10.00 sale 7.99 each
-6.00 (2) $3 manu Q ($6 profit)

-------
88.86 before sales/Q
-81.66 saved (91.89%)
-------
7.20 total oop
and I received 19.97 in ECB
WHOO-HOO!!!
Also, the kodak machine was running REALLY slow, so I went to the grocery store & came back to pick up my photo books, but only 1 was ready.  The photo guy was SO apologetic.  This was not my normal store, but the photo clerk offered to send the other 2 to my normal store for pick-up later.  AWESOME customer service.  I will be sending Customer service a happy email!

I'll let you know how Kroger went tomorrow- I need to get to work!
