I also found
2 "4th of july" shirts for Quinn a 3t and 4t (75% off )$0.99 each
5 4th of july napkins (75% off) $.49 each
1 pair of shorts for quinn 4t (75% off) $1.74
2 sesame street place mats (dollar spot is 50% off) $0.50 each
Total $8.33 on a gift card.
I only paid $0.58 in tax for the "free" travel stuff. There was some slight overage on some of the items and somehow the cashier scanned one of my coupons twice, so that is an extra $1 towards the freebie tax.
Every single one of my coupons beeped and had to be pushed through, which I expected for most of them since the prices were under the coupon amount. However, even the all coupon beeped which doesn't make sense since the all was $1. Anyway, luckily, the coupon gods were looking favorably down on us and at the last minute in line another cashier came to help. I could tell she was more seasoned and figured she would either understand the coupon rules and know how to push them through or would immediately get a supervisor. No supervisor necessary though, she noted there were no size restrictions on any of the coupons and pushed them all through! Yah!!!
I actually have more free coupons to use, but I didn't want to overwhelm the cashier, so I will pick through them again and grab some more "freebies" when I go back to pick up a RX.
I love having the travel size laundry soap for trips, its easy to keep one or two in the toiletry bag for all trips and to take extra when I plan on doing laundry. Now a days packing lighter is best for us, so we usually try and bring 1/2 the clothes and then just wash them during our trip. And of course with a toddler, clothes washing is almost a necessity, as they get messy without even trying!
Quinn will love the car bandaids and I anticipate him "needing" them more often once we discovers that "boo boos" get bandaids! The sunscreen is again good to through in travel bags, or diaper bags.
Quinn doesn't truly need clothes at the moment, which is why I bought bigger sizes. Its hard to pass up $1 shirts. I do need to go through his 3t and 4t clothes box to see what we already have, so I don't go too crazy as deals come up.
We also took a spin through the toy section, lots of toys marked 30% off. We will be watching them over the next few weeks, I hope to catch them the day they hit 75 % off so I can snag a few for Quinn and a few more gifts. I might also grab some to donate for xmas time.

    Great job! Where did you find the B1G1F coupons for the Bic Titanium razors? I'm glad to see you didn't have any issues at Target. They are always a problem when it comes to coupons!

    Happy saving!

    Hi. Sorry I lost this comment in the shuffle. It was a Schick Q from the inserts. I don't have it in front of me.. But I believe it was up to 12.99 in value.
