My latest trip to... almost everywhere!

I wish I could tell you I found great deals during the weekend BUT, I didn't... retailers are playing way too many "tricky" discount games.

I went to Publix first and they have tons of B1G1 FREE of nothing I need at this moment so... didn't buy anything from them.

Then I checked out CVS and Walgreens... another fiasco. I don't know, maybe it's just me!

After that, I went to Walmart, where I bought the following:

Olivari olive oil 51oz. $10.98 - 1/$1.00 OFF MC = $9.98

Kashi cereal $3.98 - $1.50 OFF MC (from sample box they sent me a month ago) = $2.48

SnackWell bars $2.50 - 1/$0.75 OFF MC (from last weekend newspaper) = $1.75

Emer-C vitamins $5.47 - 1/$2.00 OFF MC = $3.47

Retail price: $22.93

I paid $17.68 (not much of a bargain)

Finally, I went to Costco (big mistake, that place was a jungle) where I grabbed a few things:

Laundry detergent 120 loads $14.59 - $2.75 OFF SC = $11.84

Ravioli $9.89 - $2.50 OFF SC = $7.39

Cookie dough 5 lb. $7.79 - $2.50 OFF SC = $5.29

Retail price: $32.27

I paid $24.52 (not bad)

*SC = store coupon

You still are getting more for your $ when buying some Kirkland products like:

If you are not receiving the coupon book by mail, visit your local Costco (customer service desk) and tell them you want coupons.
