Quick Walmart Trip

Yesterday I ran to Walmart after a great LLL meeting! I wanted to take advantage of being around a super Walmart (yes, the town I live in only has a tiny one) and I had a few coupons that were going to expire soon. This is what I got:


(4) Tidy Cats Litter, 10 lbs.
      Retail Price: $8.48 ($2.12 each), Sale Price: $8.48 ($2.12 each)
      Coupons Used: (4) $2 off MFG
      Final Price: $0.48 ($0.12 each)
(1) Votive Candles, 50 ct.
      Retail Price: $2.50, Sale Price: $1
      Final Price: $1
(1) Safe View Mirror
      Retail Price: $5, Sale Price: $5
      Final Price: $5
(6) Visine Eye Drops
      Retail Price: $11.64 ($1.94 each), Sale Price: $11.64 ($1.94 each)
      Coupons Used: (6) $2 off MFG
      Final Price: $0.36 PROFIT
(4) Wilkinson's Razors, 4 ct.
      Retail Price: $3.88 ($0.97 each), Sale Price: $3.88 ($0.97 each)

      Final Price: $1.11
Total: $32.61 (retail price)
Total: $31.11 (sale price)

Coupons Used:
(4) $2 off Tidy Cats Litter
(6) $2 off Visine Eye Drops
(4) $1 off Wilkinson's Razors
Subtotal: $7.11
Tax: $2.80
Spent: $9.91
Saved: $25.50
That's a savings of 72% after tax!

The cat litter, eye drops and razors (which is what I went in for) would have totaled $0 if I didn't add in impulse buys!  I was excited to see votive candles and bananas so cheap! And our car baby mirror was on it's last leg lately and it finally broke this week. I hope this one works well!

Also, I now have 120 lbs. of cat litter taking up a good bit of space. It's finally time to run to the animal shelter to donate it and get it out of my house!
