Total Cost
1) If I had purchased everything at retail price, I would have spent $50.12
2) If I had purchased everything at the sale price, no coupons, I would have spent $26.76
3) My final purchase price, including coupons, wagc (Walgreen's coupons) & tax was $23.84
I don't feel like an extreme couponer. Maybe if I had only purchased items for which I had coupons, it would have been different. Moving on to CVS !!
At CVS, I only purchased three things:
1 gallon of milk - $3.19, get $1.00 ECB (extra care bucks), final cost - $2.19
1 96 oz. chlorox bleach - $1.69, $0.25 manufacturer's coupon, final cost - $1.49
1 green bag tag - $0.99, get $0.99 ECB, final cost - free
Maybe I did better at CVS, but I'm not sure. I do know that I saved money today, but I'm not ready to claim the title of UBER Couponer yet.
