First stop was the pet shop for dog food. I decided to try switching brands (again) for my horribly allergic Lhasa Apso. We are now trying the California Naturals herring and sweet potato. This is after the Natural Recipe fish and sweet potato, which we found had a small amount of rice in it after my dogs tummy started turning pink. Of course she is allergic to rice. We though about switching to the EVO variety which has lots of fruits and veggies in it, which she loves. But it contains egg, also an allergen for us so the California Naturals it was. $9.99 for a small bag - ouch! But I did feel somewhat lucky since the EVO was $10 more than that.
Our second stop was Walmart where I fared a little better. I don't love Walmart and boycotted it for several years. But now that the damage is done and the economy is ruined, I consider it a necessary evil for certain things I can't get easily elsewhere. I just got my coupons for kitty litter and Bounty paper towels, plus 2 for White Cloud toilet paper gained in swaps with other couponers. My haul:
8 ten pound bags of kitty litter $1.77 each, after $1.50 coupon ~ $.27 ea.
reg price: $14.16 net cost: $2.16
6 Bounty Basic paper towels $1.00 each, with $1 off 2 coupon ~ $.50 ea.
reg price: $6.00 net cost: $3.00
2 White Cloud 4 packs $2.00 each, with $1.00 off coupon ~ $1.00 ea.
reg price: $4.00 net cost: $2.00
Cost before coupons: $24.16 Final cost: $7.16
Not too shabby. And I have plenty of coupons left.
