Walmart and Target Trip 8/22

Well, there's only a week left before Lorelai starts school.  I am getting a little bit nervous for me and her.  I am praying that Lorelai adjusts to going to school and I adjust to not having my little girl at home.  As the 29th gets closer, I see myself looking at Lorelai and going when did she get so big?  So because school starts in a week, I needed to run to Walmart to grab a few things and I had to go to Target to buy some diapers.  Target had a Huggies store coupon that I could stack with a manufacturer coupon otherwise I don't normally buy diapers at Target.  So here's what I got at Target:

Not too big a haul but.....still saved a bunch.

Here's the break down:
4 pks of Cascade Dishwasher tablets .97ea
used 4 1.00/1 from PG 7/31
4 pks of Tide Liquid Detergent .97ea
used 4 1.00/1 from PG 7/31
Huggies Slip On Diapers
used 3.00/1 from 8/14 SS
and 2.00/1 from Target.com

Total: $4.75 + taxes
Total Retail: $17.75
Total Savings: $13.00 or 73%

I know that this isn't the greatest number wise but I did get the Cascade and the Tide for free plus I got a pack of diapers for $4.75.

Here's what I bought at Walmart: 

Ok this isn't all I bought but the rest was school stuff for Lorelai that I didn't have coupons for.  I had also bought two types of pencil boxes and a Bible.  But the big savings was with the Purell.  These are on sale at Office Depot for 50 cents each.  Well I did not want to try and find the nearest Office Depot so I thought I would just price match at Walmart.  Of course I forgot to bring the ad but Walmart did just change their price matching policy.  You now do not need to bring in the store ad.  So I thought that I would give it a try.  The cashier was actually very nice about the whole thing and allowed me to get the Purell for .50 cents each.  I then had 2 coupons for 1.00/3.  So I ended up paying 1.00 for 6 Purells.  That's .17 cents each!  These normally go for $1.59 at Office Depot.  So its a 90 % savings.
I guess the lesson learned on these two shopping trips is that even if you are not buying a lot of stuff never pay full price.  I may have only saved $34.54 but at least I wasn't giving it to the stores.  :)
Happy Shopping everyone.

Also, while I was in Target I noticed 10 ct Kleenex to go packs marked down for .33 ea.  (They do have Cars characters on them.)  Also coupons.com has a coupon for .40/3.  This would make it only .20 cents a pack.  Don't really know if this is a stock up price but it seems cheap to me.
