Steamers at Wal-Mart

Our local Wal-Mart has the reg size, plain Green Giant Steamer vegetable bags for $1.22.
There are 2 coupons from 2 different inserts which have $1.00 off any GG steamers bags. so you get the bags for $0.22 each! now I checked the prices at another Wal-Mart not as close to us, and they were marked $1.86 there, not as good of a deal, so check the prices where you shop for this great deal.
Also Ronzoni has another $1.00 coupon, and these prices vary from store to store. the best price and most consistent store to carry these is Wal-Mart. $1.50 each, so $0.50 a box. I have seen them on sale elsewhere cheaper, BUT they were sold out, and the price wasnt that much better anyway.
I was browsing the costume section. they had nothing that interested us that was below $27.99.
so we mosied on over to the toy section where they had other dress up dresses. I saw a couple of cheer outfits which were cute. I grabbed the "off brand" outfit, and the Barbie brand to compare.
Low and behold the off brand was $9.88 and the Barbie one was $7.00, which was originally $14.88!! I only found 1 though, bummer. I was thinking holding on to it for Christmas, since I could only find one and I wanted the girls to match.
I think I am going to add it into my savings and my OOP.

I had earlier than normal trips today. mainly because the items I wanted and deals were so "hot".
I went to Walgreens with 3 $4.50RR and 2 $4.00RR, so $21.50 worth of RR. Walked out after my wags trips w/ 6 $3 RR and $5 worth of rebated, plus the goody bags and stuff, etc. so I have $23 worth to spend now. (except the rebates I have to wait to spend and the RR are only good for 2 weeks) but how AWESOME!
and CVS has breeze 2 monitors on sale for 14.99 plus you get $10 ECB back. well there are Qs out there to get up to $30 off the monitors, so the cashier puts it through as 14.99 and you get the monitor for free, and you get $10 free ECB!!
The only problem I ran into is that the monitors were pretty much sold out everywhere. I went to 3 stores so far and have only found 1... but I am such a "smart" person (some would call me a schemer) I borrowed 2 that a friend had bought, and repurchased them 3 times so far, for the ECBs. and I found 1 myself, so I get to post that one as savings, and into my totals.
all in all it has been a good day so far. I plan to repurchase these meters if I need to to use up the rest of my Breeze2 Qs. Hopefully I will find more monitors at other stores as we are planning a trip into Houston later.
