Late Night at Walmart

I hadn't even planned on going to Walmart tonight, but I went to make something for a Memorial Day party and I was missing a few ingredients. So, I figured I would get some of my coupon items while I was there :)

I have been looking for these Ivory soap packs for the last month and they have never been in stock! I'm just bummed I didn't finally find some until after my Coupons 4 Cuba donation :( I had originally intended them for that. It's ok though, I know I will find another worthy cause for the 57 bars of soap :)

The First Aid Kits qualified for a mail in offer that was in the newspaper a week or so ago. It was with all the Johnson and Johnson coupons :) It said if you buy any 3 J&J Red Cross, Bandaid, Cortaid, Neosporin or Benadryl Topical Products, you get a free first aid kit. You can print the rebate for yourself here.

I honestly hate shopping for things that I need but don't have coupons for now, so at least I was able to pair that trip up with a lot of freebies to make up for it! And now I'm all set for making my desserts for this weekend :)

Late Night at Walmart

Tonight I went to Walmart with my mom :) We both needed to get some stuff with our coupons (she is starting out herself), so we decided to go together to make it a bit more fun - which it was :)
Here was my take:

• 2 Ajax with Bleach Cleaners (33% More!), $0.97 each - Used $1 off 2 Ajax products coupon from the newspaper - $0.47 each
• Finish Quantum 10 ct in Collectible Tin, $2.77 - Used $1.50 printable coupon = $1.27
• 9 4-Packs of BLack Flag Fly Paper, $0.98 each - Used nine $1 off Any Black Flag Product coupons from the 5/15 paper = $0.18 overage
• 8th Continent 1/2 Gallon Soy Milk, $2.73 - Used $2 off printable coupon = $0.73
• Fruit 2 Day Single (Special Edition Raspberry Lemonade!), $1.50
• Trivial Pursuit Steal Card Game, clearance $2.50 - Used $1 off Any Hasbro Card Game coupon from inside card game packages = $1.50
• Travel Size Secret Clinical Deodorant, $2.47 - Used $3 off Any Secret Clinical coupon from inside Large Pack of Charmin Toilet Paper = $0.53 overage
• 2 4-Packs of Wilkinson Sword Disposable Razors, $0.97 each - Used $1 off Any Wilkinson Sword printable coupon = $0.06 overage
• Leggs Sheer Energy Black Nylons, clearance $1.00
• Breath Savers Mints, $1.94
• 2 Travel Size Febreeze with Gain Scent Sprays, $1.97 each - Used two $1 off Any Febreeze with Gain coupons from newspaper = $0.97 each
• Wardley Tropical Fish Food Flakes, $2.37 - Used $2 off Any Wardley printable coupon = $0.37
• Scott Naturals Toilet Paper 4 Pack, $2.68 - Used $1 off Scott Naturals coupon from the newspaper = $1.68
• White Cloud Toilet Paper 4 Pack, $2.00 - Used $1 off Any White Cloud coupon from June All You Magazine = $1.00

For everything pictured here (plus the toilet paper I forgot to put in the shot), I paid $14.84 tax and everything! And it would have been much better had I not really wanted to try that Fruit 2 Day and my husband hadn't requested I buy 'his mints.' The pre-coupon total was over $40 :) I've never done so well at Walmart before. And my favorite night shift supervisor was there to make sure all of my coupons went through :) So when you combine the sweet savings + my mom + my favorite store supervisor = A very pleasant Walmart trip!

Late Night Walmart Trip

Ok, so I think by now everyone is aware that I'm slightly insane. If you didn't know that already, you will now. I had stayed up late last night trying to get my coupons in order after our ridiculous take from coupon hunting on Tuesday night. It's honestly daunting. I clipped and clipped so much the tip of my right ring finger went numb and it still hasn't recovered. After clipping for a few hours, I decided I needed to go use some of them to renew my vigor and, since I was still awake, decided to go to Walmart.

Now, understand, normally I avoid Walmart at all costs for many reasons. I'm really just not a fan of them in general, on principal and on price. Walmart advertises that their prices are the lowest, ok technically if you count that Target sells something for $2.99 and Walmart sells it for $2.98, then ok, sure. Personally I don't show so much for regular priced items, I follow the sales, which Walmart doesn't really have like other stores do. I prefer places that do Buy 1 Get 1 Free Sales, etc. Oh, and don't ever buy milk at Walmart! They have almost the most expensive milk around at any given time.

Anyway, tangent. The only reason I decided to go to Walmart was that it was 1:30 in the morning. No other stores are open then and it would be almost completely devoid of other customers, leaving me as much space as I wanted to do my shopping.

So, what deals could lure me out at 1:30 am? These could:

The only thing in this picture that wasn't free or cheaper than free was the Operation Game. I paid $2 for that after my printable coupon for $3 off any Operation game. Well, the game (which was the last one on the shelf) was on sale for $5, making it cost me $2 after the coupon. What about everything else?

• 2 Nivea For Men Cool Body Washes - $3 each at Walmart + 2 coupons in 4/17 newspaper for $3 off Any Nivea Men Body Wash = 2 For Free
• 4 Nivea Women's Body Wash - 3 Touch of Smoothness and 1 Touch of Sparkle - $3 each at Walmart + 4 coupons in 4/17 newspaper for $3 off Any Nivea Women's Body Wash = 4 For Free
• 2 Black Flag 4 packs of Fly Paper - $0.98 each + 2 coupons in 4/10 newspaper for $1 off Any Black Flag Product = $0.04 Overage
• 1 Reach Floss - $0.88 + printable coupon for $1 off Any Reach Floss = $0.12 Overage
• 1 Single Load Tide Detergent (from travel section) - $0.97 + $1 off Any Tide coupon from P&G coupon booklet = $0.03 Overage

So, if we add it all together, my total was $1.81, so I paid $1.92 for all 11 items shown :) I'd say that's worth a little late night trip to a store I don't like, wouldn't you? :)

*What makes this purchase even better is that Hasbro has a mail in rebate to receive a Free Tombstone Pizza for any game purchased through 4/30 and you can redeem up to 5 games. This will be my 4th game I've submitted, so this whole purchase will have included a Tombstone Pizza (up to $7.01 value) in the long run :)
