Whew! I am beat. I worked three twelve hour shifts and then came home and did my weekly shopping. I am pooped! But I managed to get most of the deals I wanted. Not all, but most. Now, don’t be surprised, but I did some heavy duty stocking up on a few things. The prices were just too good not to. Don’t worry, I didn’t clear any shelves. I made sure I left some behind. OK, OK… I will admit it…. I did take all the creamy peanut butter, but I left a lot of crunchy. 
Here is the breakdown at Wal-Mart:
*CoffeeMate Creamer, Regular Price $2.88, Used MQ for .55 cents, Paid $2.33 total
*KY Jelly x 2, Reg Price $2.84, Used 2 MQs for $3/1, FREE MoNeYmAkEr of .16 x 2 (Made .32 total )
*Renu x 2, Reg Price $1.47 Used 2 MQ for $2/1, FREE MoNeYmAkEr of .53 x 2, (Made $1.06 total )

*Mio’s x 10, Reg Price $3.78, PM to Buy 1 for $3.78, get 1 for $1, Used 9 MQs for $1/1, Paid $1.49 each or ($14.90 total)
Total at Wal-Marts regular prices, no Qs or PM = $143.12
Total at Wal-Mart regular prices, plus Qs = $109.57
Grand total after PM and Qs = $52.01
That is a 64% savings!! YIPPEE!!
Since I didn’t get everything I wanted at Wal-Mart, I did the convenient thing and headed over to Target. Target makes their price matching difficult and their policy is NOWHERE NEAR as generous as Wal-Mart. But that is a blog for another day.
Here is the breakdown for Target:
*Planters Peanut Butter x 26, Reg Price $2.99, PM for $1.79, Used 4 MQ for $1/1 and 11 MQs for $1/2, Paid $1.21 each or ($31.54 total)

*Vaseline, Reg Price $1.47, no coupons, Paid $1.47 total
*Baby Lips Balm x 3, Reg Price $2.99, Used 3 Target Qs for $1/1 AND 3 MQs for $2/1, FREE, MoNeYmAkEr of .03
*MorningStar x 10, Reg Price $3.69, PM for $2.98, Used 5 Target Qs for $1/2, Paid $2.48 each or ($24.80 total)
Target total without PM or Qs = $148.96
Target total at regular prices, with Qs = $116.96
Target total, with PM AND Qs = $65.34
This is a total savings of 56%!!! WOOHOOO!!

Yep, shes pretty awesome!
NICE JOB!
I rarely shop at walmart, only because they gave me such a hard time with some printable smart source coupons I had. They wouldnt take it??? I didnt bother talkin with the manager, so I bought the stuff without the coupons and left. It was so hard to purchse the stuff without a coupon!! haha
I have been there. Unless I REALLY need it now, I won’t buy it at that time. I politely ask that they remove it from the order. The Stayfree $1/1 coupons I just recently printed and the $2/2 PlayDoh coupons wouldn’t work at WalMart this week either. Their policy states printables must scan to be accepted. I can’t blame them if it won’t scan. I just remove the items from my order and use the coupons at another store. Ya win some, ya lose some :/ Thankfully, we win more than we lose
