My actual trip yesterday

Something you should know as a couponer, is that your trip will never be what you planned it to be. Some deals that you thought might be good, are actually a no go when you go look at the store. Then you may find something that you hadn't planned on. I took my friend with me yesterday to teach her a bit about couponing. We went to Walgreens, Target and Kroger. I didn't make it to CVS, although I may go tomorrow. So this is what I actually got.

Walgreens:

3 - Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil 20 ft, limit 3 - .79 deal only through Monday!
6 - Nice Tomato sauce limit 3 - .25
2 - Mitchum Deoderant 2.99
$2 RR wyb 1
Use $1/1 Mitchum Product (SS8/21) = Free after RR
2 - All Laundry Soap  - 3/$7 - buy 2 -3.50ea
Use (2) $1/1 All Laundry Detergent (RP 8/28) = 2.50 each
4 - Suave Professionals Shampoo/Conditioner/Stylers 2/$6  - Buy 2 get $2 RR
Use Buy 1 Suave Prod Shampoo or Conditioner Get 1 Suave Pro Dry Shampoo or Styling Product Free= .50 ea

*The Nabisco crackers were not as good of a deal as I thought because the Walgreens booklet was not good for the ounces specified. So no go on that. 
*I also found out when I got home that the Suave Dry Shampoo was not triggering the RR even though it's advertised.  Good to know. 
*The Suave shampoo and conditioner are the big bottles too! What a great deal on shampoo/conditioner that I love!
