Wrap-Ups for Dec. 5-11 ~ Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Target, and Staples ~ Paid $7 for $244 worth!!

Such a spectacular week!!!  I don't know how the stores knew just what I needed and put them on sale, but I really appreciate it!  ;)   I went to 4 stores yesterday with babies in tow, and everything went SO smoothly - cashiers were friendly, kids (mostly) behaved, no lines to wait in, what I needed was in stock......it was brilliant!

Target - Saved 95%   (Paid $2 for $39.96 RV)

4 Crayola Pop-Art Pixies craft kits for $23.96 ($5.99 each)
(took Walgreens paper to Target and price matched the $5.99 price instead of Target's $9.99)
- two $4/1 manQ
- two $5 gift cards (they were running a promotion to get a $5 gift card wyb 2)
- $3.96 mystery discount, lol  (see below)
= $2 for 4 kits

(the cashier said she couldn't use a $4 coupon on each of the kits because of the gift card promo, so she'd have to use two and apply $2 to each.  I think she might have been blowing smoke, but I wasn't going to be paying much anyway, so I let it go.  After getting home however, there's only the two $4 coupons and the $10 in gift cards taken off the total of 4 kits at $5.99 each, but what I paid was still $3.96 less......with all the cashiers messing around I don't know what she did, but I'll take it.  =)
