Shopping trips at Dollar General, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree Deals

I had a notion today to go school shopping.  haha.. That did not happen. However, I didn't do to bad when I did go shopping. My first stop was Family Dollar. Family Dollar only has the Faygo that my son likes for $1, so I picked up 4 and I ended up clearing the shelve with those 4, and before I cleared the shelf, I asked to find out if they had more. He told me, no they do not have anymore until Thursday night. Okay, thanks and he told me to go ahead and take the last 4. I would have spent $31.93 and I saved $10.25 leaving me to pay out of the pocket of $21.68. Also, I found the Keri Lotion that everyone has been talking about for $3.00 and I used my $2.00 coupon and end up paying $1.00 each.
Dollar General was my next store. I walked in and picked up all my items and made it to the register. I had 3 coupons for B1/1F, well the first coupon went through not a problem. The other 2 were a issue. They wouldn't scan or take off $3.50 for the free items. The CS even called another CS to fix the problem and manage to not get a hold of the other CS. They had to do it differently then it was suppose to happen. However, I did get those free. I ended up doing a total of 3 transaction. The first transaction I spent $34.68 with a saving of $6.65 leaving me to pay $28.03. This was a bad choice that I made. However, my second transaction were the four Dove products that would not work in the previous transaction. For a total of $21.35, I saved $7.00 and paid $7.35 out of pocket. Then I realize that I forgot to pick up something else while I was there for my father. Well, I went back and picked up those 3 items. For a total of $10.25 of product and saving of $3.00 leaving me to pay $7.24 out of my pockets. That wasn't too bad this time.
Then I went to Dollar Tree Deals, I only purchased 9 items and had coupons. However, when I went to the register, I couldn't use internet printed coupons and I told the girl to take the 4 items off since I couldn't use those coupons. I ended up spending only $5.75 for all that I purchase. I had a saving of $1.50 leaving me to pay $4.25. However, I came home to look for the coupon policy for Dollar Tree and couldn't find it. I will have to do some more serious looking.

Complete total of items purchase $72.03 with saving of $28.40 and paying out of pocket of $43.63. Now I think I have cut into my budget for this week. And I still have to purchase those jeans for my son to use for school and I already know that will be $50.00 already but I will have free shipping by the time I am finish with that.
