I could have paid only $4.59 for the last transaction but I ran out of the $2.00 off $10 CVS coupon found on the internet. I'm still learning every week.
Total Paid for this shopping trip was $12.09

That is not bad considering all I really needed was some Baby Orajel, Milk and Nail Polish Remover which would have come out to be a total of $12.06 before taxes using no coupons.
I figure I'll keep saving more each week with more practice.

I am having a lot of fun getting out ALL BY MYSELF to play this little shopping game. I put my children to bed and leave my husband in front of the baseball game on Friday night. It has become my Friday night ritual. I don't like to complete four transactions with a line of people behind me so it's a good time to go.

Have a wonderful week. God Bless.
