Walmart Deals

I did a little shopping Friday night. Overall it was a good trip! I spent nothing out of pocket at Walgreens thanks to a gift card from MyPoints and got $12 in RRs back. I spent $40 at Festival (on meat mostly). My last stop was Walmart. I had a few coupons that I had been saving to use there. My subtotal was $60.77 before coupons and $20.77 after! That's exactly $40 in coupon savings!!
6 packages of Kotex liners free after $1 off coupons
1 pack Always pad free after free item coupon from sample
Lipton Tea bags free after free item coupon from special promotion
6 packages of Pull Ups wipes $.14 each after $3/2 coupons
2 packages of Goldfish crackers $.65 each after $1 coupons
2 tubes of kids toothpaste $.97 each after $1 coupons
8 packages of muffin mix $.63 each after $1/4 coupons
4 packs of muffin liners $.75 each on clearance
2 bottles worchestershire sauce $.48 each after $2 coupons
1 can baking powder $.82 after $.65 coupon
2 canisters Crystal Light free after $2/2 coupon
2 Nature Valley clusters $.68 each after $1.60 off coupons from mailer
1 four pack TP $1 after $1 coupon
1 package lemon cake mix---$1.16 no coupon!! :)

And what I really needed and went for:
Spot Shot $3.36 after $1 coupon

If you aren't a member of Vocalpoint yet... I highly recommend that you join. They send all sorts of high value or free item coupons. Also take advantage of the freebie offers that MoneySavingMom and Freebies4Mom mention. It takes less than a minute to request a sample or a coupon and you can get lots of great stuff for free! Kotex samples, for example, always come with coupons and new samples become available all the time.

If you have a PC you can install Roboform to help you fill out freebie information forms faster or if you use Firefox you can install an add-on called AutoFill that will fill out forms with the click of a button. You can even set it for different profiles (one with your real email address and one for you junk email address).

This really has nothing to do with saving money unless you count the money saved not getting your carpet cleaned or replaced, but I want to highly recommend Spot Shot. If you have kids or pets or any stains at all on your carpet this stuff is a miracle! It gets just about any stain out on the first try. Walmart has the best prices on it and there is a $1 off coupon here. Plus right now when you buy a Spot Shot product you can print a form to get a free movie ticket.

That was an inspiring post Shelly - are those Martha White muffin mixes you bought? I've never seen those on sale or with coupons.

Yep, Martha White. I used to get them when lived in AZ but they aren't as common here.

The boys have muffins on the rotating breakfast menu. I make them from scratch sometimes but I like the mixes too. I just haven't been able to make a good Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin from scratch yet and that's Wesley's favorite.

I haven't seen them on sale anywhere, but Woodman's has them and so does Walmart ($.88). Coupons come out every so often in the AZ paper which I get from my in-laws. I know they aren't in the GBPG but they might be in the Chicago Tribune once in awhile?

[Theresa, if you see this... have you ever seen coupons for Martha White muffin mix?]
