My Shopping Trip for my Favorite Deals at Walgreens, CVS and Staples

We got asked out to a FREE dinner last night by a good friend.  It was a Christmas/Birthday/Lottery Winning celebration.  He took us to Arigatos Japanese Steakhouse (my favorite).  Dinner was great so while we were out we did some shopping on the way at CVS, Walgreens and Staples.
Here is my favorite deals for the week:

CVS

5 - Wisk at $5.00 each
1 - Xtra Laundry Detergent - $1.99
5 - Pepsi 2 Liters at .88
Used (5) $2 Wisk coupons
Used (1) $1 Xtra coupon
Used $1 ECB
Total OOP - $21.75

With ECB and coupons laundry detergent was only $1 per bottle.  I am now stocked up for a while.


Staples

My total OOP for the day was $36.91.  I have a $10 ECB and $7.50 in Register Rewards.  I am stocked up on laundry detergent for some time.  I already had 2 new bags of Cascade gelpacs and with the 5 Finish I have enough for a long time.  The pop up tape was bought mainly for Payton to help wrap gifts next Christmas but it was still an excellent price. The gift tags are something that I will need next Christmas since I am out and they were 50% off.  The diapers were at a great price even though I didn't have a Huggies coupon I still got them and you can never have too many.  You can never have too much shampoo and I will also send off for a rebate so they will equal out to be FREE.  I just mentioned last week that we need some new pencils and .19 was too good of a price to turn down.  My husband informed me that he was out of deodorant so I had to buy 1 until I can find a great deal.  The Walgreens gift card was a stocking stuffer from my mom and it came in very handy yesterday.  I was very pleased with my shopping yesterday and with the cashier at Walgreens who didn't say a word when I asked if I could do 5 transactions.  He was a young guy and seemed to not mind.   I have to run to Rite Aid tomorrow to pick up a prescription so I have a few things to pick up there.
