Shopping trips 10/29 & 10/30 - Target, Walmart, CVS, Giant Eagle & Meijer

I have spent the last few days making sure I take advantage of all the deals I want to since I won't be doing any more shopping after tonight until mid November! I can honestly say though we are SO stocked up on everything (except fresh food) that I don't plan to do much shopping at all in November...except Black Friday of course ;) I hear the Kroger ad is pretty sweet this week so I am going to take a look & I may run there tonight when I go to Walgreen's.

Saturdays trips:

Walmart:
OOP: $1.90
Savings of: $5.50

I needed to pick up the WD40 so I could try to see if that helps get the crayon out of our kids clothes. (Our son threw a crayon in the dryer MONTHS ago and stained all their summer clothes. Since they have never worn any of the pieces I'm trying to fix them up for vacation)

These next 2 transactions go together basically. I needed $41.00 more to be able to to do the $10.00 P&G rebate available here (expires today!) I purchased part of the stuff for this rebate at CVS and the rest at GE. There is also a $10.00 Olay rebate available here (doesn't expire until 12/31) CVS & Giant Eagle both had products for these rebates on good sales this week, so I was able to take advantage of both rebates. YAY!!

I don't have my receipts anymore (already mailed them in!), so I am going to try to do my best from memory :)

No wonder Aldi’s prices were the cheapest on this list overall. The store was recently named by Money & Carrier as the cheapest grocery store in the country,
