Walmart/WAGS

WAGS:

This did not go as planned as there was supposed to be some great deals on clearance and this store just didn't have what I needed anyway. I did get some super cheap Easter candy to donate because my DH will be so upset if we keep this in the house. DD got super lucky with a Barbie Easter basket because it was 75% off and I needed something to keep her happy.

Basket $2.40
Crest toothpaste $4.49
used free wyb Bayer meter Q
chick eggs .16
5 bags Hershey candy .62 each (I am not positive but I think I can submit for the ESR for this, them donate them

Sugar babies egg .32
Used $8.00 RR
Original OOP: $2.83
Possible ESR $5.00
I also bought a toothbrush and returned it so I ended up with a negative total overall. I picked out the wrong kind and RR didn't print so I decided it wasn't worth it. Sorry Nanci!

Walmart:

Target:
Well I always seem to go to this grumpy cashier Charlie but here is the thing. I think he gets so annoyed with my coupons that he Just takes all of them without question to get me out of line. Now don't get me wrong I am not using the wrong coupons just some that may be 1.00 off for a .99 item and a lot of other cashiers give me a hard time. This time like last time the pringles rang up wrong and when I told him he just fixed it without question. I think he is a team leader or something but i am not sure how much more of his attitude I can take. Anyway he gets me out of there in record time as well. Oh well.

There was a bunch of stuff on Easter clearance for 75% off and I usually wait until it goes to 90% but a lot of times I lose out on stuff if I wait that long. SO:
Easter socks $1.24, .99
3 Airhead candies on clearance for .43 each
used 2 .55 off coupons from March insert (these were normally .59 so I would have paid .04 each before but since my coupon was for higher and I only had two I bought an extra one plus DD and DH love them) Charlie was having a hard time getting things to scan so he gave me .55 off each

2 Pringles mini's on sale for $1 each
used 2 -.50 off MQ
3 Aveeno lotion $2.99 each
used -$10.00 off wyb 3 coupon from Aveeno website
