That's not my best savings at either store, but I wanted to stock up on the toilet paper while I could get it for $3.50 per package plus, the feminine products purchased will be donated.  The Dial soap IP that I found this week on coupons.com, came in very handy!  $4.99 (after IP) for 16 bars of soap is cheaper than it would be at Walmart!!  

I almost forgot that we went to Walmart as well!  Here's the breakdown:

2- 30oz. bottles of Suave Everlasting Sunshine shampoo ($1.46 each- 96¢ each after coupon)

2- bottles of Garnier Fructis ($2.96 each- $1.96 each after coupon)

3- bottles of Adidas men's body wash ($3.47 each- $1.47 each after coupon)

12- bottles of Dial hand soap (on rollback for $1.27 each- 77¢ each after coupon)

I used:

2- 50¢/1 Suave IP's

3- $2/1 Adidas MQ's

2- $3/6 Dial hand soap IP's

Total Retail: $34.49

Total OOP: $19.49

Total Savings: $15 or 43%

I don't usually do a lot of couponing at Walmart, and I think you can see why!  I usually don't save as much as I do at the drug stores and Kroger!
