Kohls, dollar tree, CVS

I realized this past week, I really dont have much of anything to wear, esp for maternity clothing. The last time I went to Kohls I found some tops that I thought were great, and had lasted through previous pregnancies, but the price was high, so I was only able to get one.
I got a 15% off coupon for shopping this weekend, and it was also advertised there were great sales and some clearance as well.
in addition to the 15% off, Kohls also had Kohls Cash, and get $10 for every $50 you spend. I found all of the tops I wanted were either on sale at least 50% off or clearance up to 80% off. while there the girls found a couple of things they wanted, and they were all on clearance, and while walking to the restroom, I saw some adorable baby clothes I couldnt live without , either on sale 50% or clearance up to 80% off.
total I got 14 items (not counting some of the kids.baby clothes had separate pieces) so total including tax & my 15% off I spent $110, which averages out to $7.86 each piece!
$266.84 was the savings it showed on the receipt!
I also got back $20 in Kohls cash to spend starting July 1st!

Dollar Tree-
not really a "find" but I was searching everywhere for a cheap pair of sunglasses that didnt look completely stupid. I didnt want to spend a fortune, since my luck with sunglasses is 0, Ive been through 4 so far this year! I found 2 pair that suit me great! when all else fails try the dollar store LOL!! CVS - had to spend more OOP, but I hope to use this 2nd card to score more deals!

got a great deal on huggies at CVS, I used some RRs at walgreens for 2 more smaller packs of huggies, I spent a total of around $5 between the 2 stores for everything pictured!! one thing missing from the pics is a gillette razor which I gave to my brother.

Kroger & Randalls

Randalls
I use loadable "ecoupons" at randalls, from Cellfire and Shortcuts . These coupons can be saved onto your store card (the one they scan when you check out), and they reset, alot of time there will be coupons that overlap and multiples of the same ecoupon will come off your bill. you can also use regular coupons (internet printed, and insert clipped etc) I usally only shop Randalls for these deals, and load the cellfire coupons to my randalls card, as Kroger does not have multiples of the same ecoupon come off.
