A Friend's Shopping Trip

One of my friends had a GREAT shopping trip today. She bought everything pictured below and spent...



$13.63!! (One of the Windex Outdoor Window Cleaners alone costs $12.99, so really for less than the cost of one of those (once you calculate tax in), she was able to get everything pictured!!) She was able to save $68.96...83.5%!!!

In order to do this, she went to three stores:

Walgreens...2 Soft Scrub, 2 Infusium products, 2 Stride Gum
Spent: $1.06
Saved $19.96

Dollar General... 4 bottles of Gillette Body Wash, 2 Pedigree bones, 1 box of envelopes, and 1 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup that didn’t make it to picture
Spent: $1.79
Saved: $12.00

Target...2 Windex Outdoor Window Cleaners, 2 Raid Indoor/Outdoor Bug Sprays, 1 Spiderman DVD
Spent: $10.78
Saved: $37.00

At Target she had to do 3 different transactions to make this work.
Transaction #1: 2 Windex Outdoor Window Cleaners (this generated 2 $5.00 Gift Cards)
Transaction #2: 2 Raid Bug Sprays (this generated 1 $5.00 Gift Card, and she used gift cards from transaction #1 to help lower her cost)
Transaction #3: Spiderman DVD (she used gift card from transaction #2 to help lower her cost)

Great job Shelli!!

How are the rest of you doing with your shopping trips?
