Walgreens ----- saved 79%

I wasn't planning to go to Walgreens this week. I've been doing really well at Walgreens lately, so I didn't think we needed much. Wrong! Good thing I had about $17.50 Register Rewards left.

Trip summary:
I bought Claritin D, 2 boxes Waldryl, lipgloss, valentine tumblers, 4 boxes Excedrin, Goody headbands, Spongebob calendar, 1 2 liter diet 7UP, and 6 2 liters of Canada Dry. I did 6 transactions.

Total before savings and coupons: $69.00
Total out of pocket: $14.25
----------------------------
saved 79% ---- I have $10 RR to use later. The RR deals on the headbands and Excedrin and the FREE 2liter diet 7UP deal run through this Saturday.

Food Lion ---- saved 40%

Food Lion is having a great deal on ground beef this week. I was very excited, so I made sure to go. See this post for info on the sale and a link to a meat coupon.

Trip summary:
I bought 1 gallon of milk ($5!), 9 lbs of ground beef, 10 lbs of chicken quarters, 1 quart chocolate milk, and 5 lbs of potatoes.

Total before savings and coupons: $37.72
Total out of pocket: $22.65
----------------------------
saved 40% ---- I'm very happy with these savings. It is very hard to save on meat usually. So, even if I spend quite a bit on meat this month, I will see a savings in the future when the price goes back up.

Bi-lo ---- saved 52%

Went to Bi-lo Wednesday to take advantage of the senior discount and use the rest of my Baked Lay coupons.

Trip summary:
I bought 10 bags of Baked Lays.

Total before savings and coupons: $38.60
Total out of pocket: $18.48
---------------------------
saved 52%

Victoria's Secret Rewards Cards

Victoria's Secrets Rewards Cards are coming back on March 2. These will be in store, catalog, and online.

I love these cards. Basically, every time you make a purchase, you will get a card. I've even gotten a card when getting something for free with coupon. The card is usually worth at least $10 and up to $500. You have to wait a little while after getting the card to find out how much it is worth. I'm sure a lot of people end up forgetting about them. That's sad, because these cards are like free money! See the announcement here.

(Thanks, MojoSavings!)
