I couldn't take it anymore!

I just had to go somewhere. Husband wanted me to get some plastic wrap for our Christmas trees so I figured since I was out, I would go to a few other stores. ALL of these stores are within 2.5 miles of my house, so I did a 4.5 mile round trip.

All this for $15.15 oop


My first stop was Lowes Home Improvement. After much debating I got
2 2mm thick 9x12 pieces of plastic wrap (painters use them as drop cloths)

Paid $6.36 put it on a Gift card

Next was Walmart...I am so not a fan of Walmart, I feel lost when I go there looking for groceries and HBA, so after making the rounds there I left and got NOTHING!

Rite Aid was next. I got in there and really didn't feel like buying anything. I did remember I had a $2 off a $5 purchase of Gift Wrap. SO I got
4 rolls total of gift wrap ($2 WT)

Saved $11.00 buying clearance and coupon
Paid $1.18 on my gift card

From there I went to Food Lion, I knew they had some coupons I wanted (Kraft 2% cheese $.75 Binkies they will double at HT, BILO and Lowes Foods), I also wanted to see how much Lean Cuisines are, they are on sale tomorrow for 50% off through Sunday (if interested, they range in price, $3.49 is the highest).

3 Ginger Ale (Buy 1 get 2 Free Flip) $.99
4 Altoids ($1 peelies) closeout priced $.99
2 Mentos Gum ($1.00Q) sale BOGO

Total saved $16.78
My total was $.40 (which was all tax!) The Altoids and Mentos were free after coupon...The peelies for the Altoids are on the cans themselves!

Finally to Harris Teeter. I love the Teeter!
