My Drugstore Shopping 3/4 $30.26 for $1.21 OOP

Updated with my Walgreens shop

I wasn’t able to find the Softsoap bar soap that was on sale at CVS (this store didn’t carry it) so I got a raincheck to try at another store.  Unfortunately it’s written for just 1, so I’ll still have to make it to another store this week :-(   The Revlon eye shadow was $5.29 but I decided to just get it rather than hunt it down later in the week at another store.  This store (5th and the Loop) did have the coupon insert from the Reinventing Beauty magazine out at the register though- score!

Since my husband had to work this weekend I had both kids in tow.  I purposely went to the store with the car carts for the kids, but I neglected to buckle Little One.  As a result I ended up buying a cadbury cream egg that she swiped from the register and began eating (foil and all) while I checked out.  I about flipped out to see it ring up for $.99, but at least it was BOGO so I threw in an extra at no cost for hubby.  $.50 each isn’t too terrible is it? LOL- yes it is!
