Shopping Trip 7/24/11

Hello! Today I went shopping at three different stores: Target, Walmart, and CVS. When I go shopping I will post a picture of what I got, including the things that are not pictured, as well as a list by store of what I bought. I will also list how much the retail,  savings, and out of pocket (OOP) are. I will list coupons and where I got them, some I don't remember but will do my best to keep track. There are a lot of coupons out there! At the end of every trip you will also see how much the total retail, total savings, and total out of pocket are. Feel free to use this as a guide to starting your own shopping trips. If you don't already have coupons, some of the ones I used today will be very difficult to get, others are still available.
