Maniac Monday

It's been a crazy Monday, even if I didn't spend it at work. I left home this morning, and before I returned, I made eight stops. Here's stuff I got for free... hmmm... open package of cookies...
Here's stuff I got dirt cheap. I paid 50 cents each for the Excedrin (going in the give-away box), 15 cents each for four Powerades, and 30 cents each (I think) for three brownie mixes. The Powerade was on sale at Kroger for $1. I bought three, and used three 0.40/1 coupons that Kroger doubled, making the net cost 0.20. Then I also had a buy 3-get 1 free coupon, so the fourth was free, bringing the final total to 0.15 each. Whether or not anyone in this house will drink the stuff remains to be seen.
Here's today's rundown:
  • Kroger - saved 60%
  • Publix - saved 69%

  • CVS - saved 67%

  • Walgreens (times 2) saved 79% at one; 81% at the other

  • Walmart - got a free bar of soap, plus three packages of Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers (vegetables) for 0.50 each, plus some bananas and a couple of other things. A pox upon Walmart for not accepting printable coupons.

  • Went by the in-laws' place for them to sign some forms (nothing saved, but they did give me coupons from their paper and I dug through the recycling basket in the activity room and gleaned a few more); and finally...

  • Went to the bank (nothing saved, but a check deposited)

I'm not going to mention the 75% off Christmas chocolate that I bought, but someone shoot me if I bring home any more chocolate! (At least before the post-Valentine's Day sales.)
