Dollar General $5/$25 Friday

I love the $5/$25 coupons days at Dollar General!!  Today I hit two different stores.  The first I stopped at did not have the Hefty One-zip bags or Snuggle dryer sheets that I was looking for, so I had to make a second trip over to my usual DG that I knew had them, which was okay with me.  The kids did some complaining (they hate going to the store), but I didn't let it get me down.  So, without further rambling, here's the breakdowns:

Store 1:

1 - Wisk - $5.00
6 - Suave Kids Shampoo - $2.00
16 - Tic-tacs - $0.65
1 - Wrigley's 5 gum - $1.50

Total retail: $28.90
(The cashier only rang up 10 of my tic-tacs!  So, total register price before coupons was $25 (it was actually $23.50 - had to grab the Wrogley's gum to use my $5/$25).  I didn't realize the boo-boo on the tic-tacs or I would've had them scan the other 6.  That's what happens when you drag all 4 kids with you to the store!  lol)

Coupons used:

1 - $5/$25 DG coupon
1 - $2/1 Wisk
3 - BOGO suave kids ($2 each)
5 - $1/2 Tic tacs (I had 8 of them for the 16 that I bought - 3 of them didn't scan obviously but the lady kept them.  :(  I didn't realize it until I got home.)

Total coupons: $18.00

Total OOP = $7.58
Savings of 62%

Store 2:

8 - Hefty One-Zip sandwich bags - $1.00
8 - Hefty One-Zip gallon bags - $1.00
8 - Snuggle dryer sheets - $1.00
5 - French's Worchestershire - $1.00

Total Retail:  $29.00

Coupons used:

1 - $5/$25 DG coupon
8 - $1/2 any Hefty
8 - $0.75/1 Snuggle
5 - $0.75/1 French's Worchestershire

Total coupons: $22.75

Total OOP = $6.62
Savings of 78%

Total retail for both: $57.90
Total OOP for both: $14.20
Total savings for both: $43.70
Savings of 75% combined!

I had an awesome cashier at my second store (the first wasn't bad, just not awesome).  He was a younger guy, but was very friendly and was amazed by my savings and knowledge of the coupon policy (he didn't know you can't use DG store coupons with the $5/$25).  All in all a good day.  :)
