Lunch and dinner with dear friends...what a nice day.

I had sometime between the two, so I headed to Walmart with coupons in hand.

I had a rebate offer for motor oil...so I purchased that and will send it in tomorrow. 5 qt =$12.68

I used the Glade air freshener coupon/rebate and will mail that off tomorrow. $6.64

And finally the Scotch sticky tape rebate $2.99. (had to go to a different store as Walmart did not carry this)

I had other coupons that resulted in the following deals: ($10.98 saved total)

Cherry Pepsi 2 liter = Free
2- 2 liter Mug Rootbeer = $.63 each
Aussie Shampoo/conditioner = 1.70 each
Spray n Wash = 1.42
and several other things that I considered good deals.
total bill $42.83/ total spent $31.85

I had some $1 off coupons for several things, but I did alot of price comparisons and found that even with the coupon, the item(s) weren't always the best deal. So those coupons are back into the coupon pile waiting until I can find better deals.

When I got home, I had received the Nexxus shampoo/conditioner sample in the mail.

I know that you seasoned frugalites know this...but I am finding my cupboards becoming well stocked on free or nearly free deodorants, toothpastes, shampoos, air fresheners, sodas, breath mints, etc...etc... I LOVE the idea of not having to use our budget to pay full price anymore....AND I am more prepared to be able to wait and find 'it' on sale...as I have an ample supply until I do...
