Easy ways to save a lot of money

Successful shopping trips!

Even WITH Evan along with me, I still saved a ton of money shopping last night.   I hit 3 stores (CVS, Walgreens and Giant Eagle)

CVS:
Spent $9.65
Saved $22.03
Received $31.68 worth of merchandise
Got $11 ECB

Giant Eagle:
Spent $28.29 (includes $10 worth of Mario cards for Evan, 6 pk of pop for Kim)
Saved $47.19
Received $75.48 worth of merchandise

Walgreen's:
Spent: $16.38
Saved $11.25
Received $27.38 worth of merchandise
Got $10 off your next purchase coupon

Totals: 
Spent: $54.32
Saved: $80.47
Received: $134.79 worth of merchandise.  PLUS $21 worth of coupons for future purchases at CVS and Wags.

Total savings: 59.7% (even with Evan with me- he always throws extra items in the cart)
I'll also have $21 to start rolling into other deals.  The future savings for Wags and CVS will be much more impressive. 

So, what'd I buy?
CVS: 2 Nivea lip cares (EB item + B1G1 coupon), 10 powerbars (EB item + coupons + sale) , candy canes (75% off), softsoap (coupon + sale), toothbrush (coupon + sale + EB item).

GE: 8 multipacks of yogurt (I paid negative $1.50 on these), 6 Hamburger helpers, tissue (25 cents), Wishbone dressing (50 cents), 2 grape jelly's (60 cents), 2 Blistex (50 cents), cat food (paid full price for a few cans), 2 pks Mario Kart card ($3 each- gasp!), 6 pk CF Diet pepsi ($3.75), warm delights, kitty litter, ice cream, lunchmeat (90 cents each), pasta (23 cents), juicy juice ($1), candy canes (75% off), fem. products (free).

Wags:  5 Nyquil and Dayquil cold meds (sale $4.49 each - $1.50 coupon each, plus get back $10 WYB $20 worth of product)

Stocked up on: Dayquil, yogurt (free), Hamburger Helper (paid $1.50 for all 6- I accidentally rang up a coupon 2 x's), lip care products, power bars, fem. products.
