My Wal-Mart Trip (08-24-13)

Here is the breakdown of our shopping trip at WalMart, with the exception of 2 items, we only used coupons. After Walmart, we headed to H-E-B to finish up our shopping, it was a pretty good trip. Sorry, I don't have pictures of my purchases, my girls love to take them out of the bags and put them away. I do have the receipt but, was not able to upload it. Once I work out the kinks I will upload it so you can see the actual savings. Now, all the coupons I used was from previous inserts from the past weeks. I will now be keeping a log of which coupons I used from which inserts.
