Last minute run to the drugstores...

Ok so my husband was so excited that I said I would get him a different cereal ... I grabbed the $10 and ran.  I had no plan at all.  I remembered seeing a couple good buys online, but none were true for my Walmart.  :(  I went to Walgreens.  I remembered they had 2/$5 Kelloggs.  So here is my story for tonight...

(Pooh ate the oreo cakes and the toothbrushes are hard to see against the cereal, but they are there)

So I spent $ 10.77 and saved $38.59!

AND EARNED 2 MORE ENTRIES INTO THE $10,000 DRAWING ON SEPTEMBER 17TH! 

See what happens, Sam, when you give me $10 for cereal??  Because He buys almost $4 a box cereal so $10 would have covered the cereal with a little pocket change left over... but look what I brought home for $10 and some change!!!  So happy I found out about couponing!!
