New favorite product
*I am in no way affiliated with Allegro, and they did not send me anything to make this blog post. :) This is completely my opinion.
yesterday's shopping trip
3 packs of Skittles, on sale for .50 each and used (3) .25 VV (video values) coupons= .75/3 (I think I also had a $1 coupon but I don't remember on how many- which would have been slight overage)
6 Alka Seltzer powders $5 each- (5) $3 coupons = $12/6
2 Samy Hair products, BOGOF $4.99/2, used (2) $2 VV coupons= .99/2
2 king sized Twix bars $1.59 BOGOF= $1.59
1 Pet rock (don't ask) $1.49
I also used a $5/$25 coupon
$1 VV (general) coupon
7 UP rewards
I paid $3.71 OOP and received $24 in UP rewards
***************************
Walgreens was my next stop. I bought:

1 Contact Cold and Flu $6.00
1 Colgate sensitive $3.49
3 rolls Scotch tape with in-ad coupon .49 each (I needed tape and this was my filler because 1 coupon covers all 3, so other coupons can attach to the other 2)

I paid $7.23 including tax
I received:
$1 RR for candle
$1 RR for Purex
$6 RR for Contact

I know a couple of people told me they don't have Facebook, so I may try to do a round-up from there later today or tomorrow. I do encourage you to set up a generic Facebook page at least, because the coupons you can get from Facebook are fantastic. Just go into your account settings and set everything to private if you are worried about that. :) Be sure when you do set up a Facebook, you like me here to get stuff posted on your wall.
Have a great shopping day!
