It’s been a great weekend for shopping! We’ve been out the last 2 days scoring deals like crazy 😀
Yesterday, I planned out a big shopping list and had planned out a pretty significant score at Walmart and No Frills but things didn’t go exactly as planned and we wound up having to go to No Frills today. So we headed off to Walmart and began our shop. It was pretty busy in the store but we managed to navigate pretty easily. I had planned to price match many of the deals from No Frills at Walmart but they didn’t have almost any of them and they were even out of stock on a couple of their own deals 🙁 I figured this wasn’t such a big deal as I was still able to get many of the things I was after and could just go to No Frills to get the rest. There was even a couple bonuses at Walmart, first all of the Fantastik and Scrubbing Bubbles triggers I purchased had an additional peelie for $1.00 off attached 🙂 And I found Royale Grande Facial Tissue on sale so I finally found the perfect time to use my BOGO. So after loading all of the items in our cart we headed off to checkout. When we got in line a woman filed in behind us and I told her we would likely be a while as I had lots of coupons and price matching. She said she didn’t mind she was actually interested to learn so we chatted as we rang things through.
Also, while doing our checkout I looked beside us and there was another couponer with an EXTREME HAUL! I mean she had to have atleast 10 of everything I could see. I struck up a conversation with her and asked if she had ever visited SaL. She said she had! Imagine that 🙂 But after a little more conversation she mentioned she had 9 children! Well all the power to ya and congratulations on your couponing success! And if your out there, do tell, what was your OOP? I’m dying to know 😉
But back to our shop 🙂 Things got a little wonky at the cash register while I was chatting and did wind up being charged full price for an item I didn’t even purchase 🙁 It seems lately I can’t get out of that place with a correct checkout. Shame on me! I vow to stare that display screen down like a hawk next time! But even with that error aside this is what we managed to score:
5 x Irish Spring Body Wash (PM Giant Tiger) $2.99 – $2.00 = $0.99ea
4 x Fantastik Triggers (PM Giant Tiger) $1.99 – BOGO – 2x $1.00 = $0.49ea

After Walmart we head over to No Frills. Wasn’t impressed that every single item that was on sale that I wanted (except one) was sold out on the first day of the sale. The associate I spoke with said there would be another shipment tomorrow (Saturday) so we decided to just come back.
Fast forward to today. Instead of going to the same No Frills (we have 2 in town) we went to the other one. I was absolutely THRILLED when every single one of my items was there and lots of them! The cashier asked if she could ring in one item I had an FPC for separately to be sure she included the taxes so I said sure. Funny thing is, there was no tax! This is what we got at No Frills today:
Transaction 1
3 x Triscuits Thin Crisps $2.77 – FPC = FREE
2 x Finish Tabs 15 pack $2.47 – $2.00 = $0.47ea
4 x Gay Lea Spreadables (PM Foodland) $1.99 – $1.00 = $0.99ea
2 x Royale Toilet Paper 40 rolls $5.97 -$2.00 = $3.97ea
10 x Tide To Go Stick $1.99 – $1.00 = $0.99ea
Transaction 2
1 x Tassimo T Disc $10.97 – FPC = FREE
Total Retail: $116.20
OOP: $22.74 ~ Savings 81%
Taxes: $4.78
So with everything combined I must say I am thrilled with my haul and my savings! This is what the final numbers turn out to be:
TOTAL RETAIL: $267.80
OOP: $26.64
SAVINGS OF $241.16 ~ 91%
