It was in Walgreens that I also realized that my wallet was NOT in my purse {I phoned home and DH found it under a cover on the couch}!!!!!!! Luckily, when I put gas in my car yesterday I stuck my debit card in my purse and not back in my wallet. So I was able to go ahead with my purchases at Walgreens :)

Fourth Stop- Kroger
I stopped here on my way back home to retrieve my wallet!

3-Nestle Toll House Cookies-$2.00 each
-used 3-$1.00 Nestle Toll House MQ
-then I had 3-$0.55 shortcuts e-coupons* that came off too!
-Final Cost-$0.45 each!


* Just in case you wanted to know, you can download more than 1 of the same coupon {as they become available}. The e-coupon will come off for each item you buy.

Then I headed home to get my wallet! Shopping from this point on went all downhill. I drove out to Kohls to see what I could find { I got a 30% discount this time!}. Well, everybody and their mother must have been there. There were no shopping carts left, the parking lot was packed, and the checkout line was a mile long. I kept thinking-what am I missing?? I looked around, but not really, there were too many people for my liking :) So I left. I think my discount is good through Wednesday, so I'll go back sometime this week. Next, I stopped at the mall because I still had a Sears coupon for $10 off your juniors' apparel purchase w/ no minimum purchase. I thought surely I'll be able to find something for $10 bucks! Um... nope. The Sears junior section- totally lame!

I got a $10 jc penny- no min purchase coupon in the mail yeaterday!

Anne said...

My Sears wouldn't accept the coupon and I got the impression it may be fraudulent, but maybe that was just my reaction to them not accepting it. And Sears is always a bit too expensive for my liking.

Connie said...

Yeah, Sears is not honoring that coupon. I totally struck out when I tried to use it a few weeks ago.

you can shop online at kohls with your 30% discount- I did today. No crowds, free shipping over $75 (I think there is a code out for charge card holders that gives free shipping with no minimums),you can be sure your total is in $50 increments(for the $10 kohls cash), and you can shop though ebates or another cash back site for more saving:)

just curious... what do you do with all those contour meters?

danielle said...

and how long are the register rewards good on the meters?
