Bi-lo is open really late and it's just across the street, so I stopped by there too on Wednesday night. Since it was late, I didn't pick up much.
Trip summary: I bought 2 4lb bags of Dixie sugar and about 6lbs of pork chops. I haven't bought much pork lately, except for ham, because the prices have been outrageous. I try to pay under $2/lb.
Total before savings and coupons: $27.55
Total out of pocket: $12.70

Mail Call! P&G and Lane Bryant
Got some nice stuff in the mail today. I got another $15 off $15 coupon from Lane Bryant. They are having a sale right now, buy 1, get 1 50% off on all shorts and crops. I may have to go use this coupon!
I also got a nice sample box from Proctor and Gamble. It came from P&GEverydaySolutions through the P&GbrandSAMPLER section. You must be a member of P&GEverydaySolutions to request samples. The samples are great and you get some sweet coupons. I got a can of Iam's cat food, 3 Pampers diapers, and a sample of pink lemonade flavor Metamucil. I really like the $3 coupon for medium or large size Tide and the $1 coupon off ANY Tide. I requested other samples, so I'll just have to wait to see if I get them. P&G does limit how often you can get samples; you'll need to wait at least 90 days inbetween requests.

Mail Call! CVS
I've gotten two great flyers in the mail from CVS. The first one is a $1.50 store coupon for ANY Kotex! Since it is a store coupon, I can combine it with a manufacturer's coupon for extra savings. The second flyer was a new CVS card. CVS just spontaneously decided to send me one in case my old one was too ragged to use anymore. They also included a $5 off a $30 purchase coupon!
I got both these flyers by connecting my CVS online account to my CVS ExtraCare card. I highly recommend doing this. Last week, they emailed me a $4 off $20 purchase coupon and that wasn't the first time they have sent me special savings. When I went to check my CVS online account, they let me print out my quarterly earnings too! It's also worth a visit to check out their coupons: they are a mix of store and manufacturer coupons.

Publix ---- saved 76%
I've been going shopping with a friend most Wednesdays lately. I didn't really need anything this week, but I did help her find some good deals.
Trip summary:
I bought Muellers Whole Wheat spaghetti and a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream (BOGO). I found a little coupon book at Food Lion yesterday with a .75 store coupon for B&J; look at the front for a "green" coupon book.
Total before savings: $5.21
Total out of pocket: $1.25
---------------------------
saved 76% ---- My friend saved about 45%; I'm getting really frustrated with the lack of good coupons in my area. It's making it hard to save more for her; she's a little pickier than I am about brands.

Walgreens --- saved 67%!
I went to Walgreens today. Needed some eggs, and Walgreens always has them for .99 around here (that's even cheaper than Aldi).
Trip summary:
I bought eggs, 3 Schick shave gels (free after RR this week), and 2 $30 bottles of Osteo Bi-flex (BOGO this week). I started out with $5 RR from earlier and did separate transactions for 2 of the Schick for more RR.
Total before savings and coupons: $75.80
Total out of pocket: $24.71
-------------------------------
saved 67% --- I still have $3 RR for later
