Saturday Morning Shopping, March 5 2011

This morning I shopped at Walgreens, WalMart, and Kroger.  I mainly wanted to go to WalMart to try out their new coupon policy which states that WalMart will accept mfr coupons for $$ off (such as Register Rewards from Walgreens). I had about $35 in RR and had been wondering what I'd possibly spend it on at Walgreens, so this new policy came at a perfect time.

I also was testing how well the eCoupons would come off my Kroger card and how successful I'd be at combining them with paper coupons.

Summary:
Regalar price: $140.51
Sale price: $117.32
I paid: $36.02
I saved: $104.49 or 74%

Not nearly as impressive as usual, but considering what I got (shrimp, chicken, fruit, veggies), I'm quite pleased.
