Walmart Clearance!!!

My Walmart store is having an amazing clearance sale on toys, clothes, and so much more! I took the following pictures to share with you guys and you might want to check your store. First the toys. I found many stores marked 80% off! Tech Deck sets were marked $4 and the carrying case marked $2. There were more toys that I don’t have a clue what they are but were $2! The women and adult bike helmets were marked down to $3.xx from $25!!! I am tempted to buy another helmet for a backup at that price!

I found lots of clothing for my son and paid $21.xx with tax or all of it! Long sleeve shirts and sweat shirts were marked a $1 each! I bought him 8 tops and sweats. I found jeans for $5 each down from $18! I bought him 2 pairs of jeans. So all of the sizes were 14 and 14/16 and now he is set for this coming winter. I love shopping end of season sales that are really out of season.

Today’s thrifty living tip is to raise your insurance deductibles. This one can save you as much as $200 a year depending on your rates. I know I saved us about $220 yearly by raising our auto insurance from $500 to $1000 each. Our auto insurance rates are pretty high living in Louisiana compared to many other states and ditto on house insurance. We can thank the hurricanes for that one. I also raised our home deductibles which also saved us another $300 a year. That is an extra $50 a month.

I do get a small discount for paying the house insurance premium annually instead of monthly. I also switched our automobile insurance to Allstate and saved us over $70/month! That is a huge savings! I am now sticking that money into savings to help boost our emergency fund. We already have our deductibles covered in savings.

Your savings will vary and it might not be worth it for you. It never hurts to investigate just to see are you getting the best rates you can. Wouldn’t an extra $25 or more a month be nice in your wallet instead of theirs? I know I am glad I switched our insurance and much rather have that extra $70 in my pocket monthly.

I realize I’m posting my great shopping haul a week late. I had so many posts to do last week that I am now finally making time to share. I did have a great shopping trip last weekend. I snagged two freebies from Bath and Body Works.

Then I went to Walmart and bought 2 Schick Hydro Silk Razors with the bonus shaving cream at $5.97 – $4/1 Coupon for $1.97 each! I paid less than $5 for both. These will make great Christmas presents.

At CVS I bought the Children’s Allergy Liquid on sale for $5.99 and I had a $5 off any Allergy medication so 99 cents!

At Dollar General I picked up the Nivea Body Wash for $2.50 each and had (2) $2 Coupons so total was $1.09 with tax!

Back to CVS I bought the following Gillette Items to receive $10 ECB. Fusion Razor ($5 coupon); Venus Razor ($2 coupon); Fusion Shaving Cream ($1 coupon) and Gillette Body Wash ($1 coupon)= $22 after coupons and I had $8 ECB to roll in so I paid $15 with tax. I received my $10 ECB and I can use the Venus Razor for the P&G $15 Rebate!

I went to Target and did really well! I found 6 boxes of the Clairol Nice-N-Easy on clearance for $5.94 each. Each box had the bonus Pantene color protecting shampoo. I had the $5/2 coupons and I had 3 of them. I had the Band-Aid $2/1 coupon so I received the $2.64 for 64 cents and bought a Revlon nail clipper for FREE! I stacked the $2/1 Target tool coupon with a $1/1 MFR so I got 3 cents overage. I paid $21.xx with tax as I used my Red Card for an extra 5% off my total which paid for half my tax. I have that rebate for the $15 cash back! Between the Gillette Deal and this hair color deal minus rebate- I paid about $20 for all of it. Not too shabby. I have 6 boxes of hair color for $3.25 each or 50%. I also have shaving cream, razors for ourselves, and body wash. I am very happy as I saved over 50%. I got a catalina from Target for $3/1 Revlon which I can combine with a $2/1 MFR. I love Target and CVS!

Last but not least was Walgreens. I broke that trip into two transactions since I didn’t have any Register Rewards. It’s so much to list so in the picture you can see I bought Lysol, Ivory, Dawn, Nivea, Purex, Colgate, Simalison, Toothpaste, Goody hair bands, Aquafresh toothpaste, and Opti-Free contact lens saline solution. That stuff is not cheap so I was thrilled to see it on sale with the $1.50 coupon so $7 for a box. Not great but cheaper than the $9.xx I normally would pay. Yes I wear soft so I have to use better brands. I have expensive air-optix as I have astigmatism in one eye.

None of it was FREE but I did pay $14 on one transaction and $20 on the other. I have $6.50 in Register Rewards. I had coupons for the majority of the sale stuff. I was happy to get the Nivea so cheap especially the shaving cream. I ended up paying $2/3 so a $1.50 a can! It was $2/7 – (2)$2/2= $2/3! Hey the cheap shaving cream is $1.64 or more a can! This was actually cheaper for a much better brand. Now hubby is set on shaving cream and body wash. I have lots of laundry detergent. I love those paks so easy to use in a front loader. I love the perfume-free detergents. I was able to pay for all of it with a FREE $50 gift card I won! That was even better.

So did anyone score some of these great deals last week?

Or did you score any this week?

I am going shopping tomorrow for this week’s sale items!
