Winner, winner

I'm determined to learn this drugstore and grocery store game. After seeing it on blogs for what seems like years, I was determined that I could figure this out. I can't make smocked clothes or homemade marshmallows or my own jam, but surely I could get a deal on some toothpaste.

Last night I ended up running to all 3 drugstores, which was a little much, but I'll say that they are all located just a few blocks from each other, so it was worth it because I got some great deals and I'm done for the week. And my teeth will be clean for months to come.

Here was the loot: (not pictured, 2 Oral-B pulsar toothbrushes)

CVS:

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo and conditioner. Normally $8.99 each

On sale for 2/$10 with $5 extra care bucks back (this was already a GREAT deal on this shampoo, and it's really the only kind I like, so I might have to work this transaction again.)

I think I won the game this week! Next week is looking pretty good at CVS too. Maybe I'll use my savings to buy a sewing machine and some canning equipment. Don't count on it though.
