Well I didn't make it to all four stores in under two hours, it took me more like four hours from start to finish with driving time. But, I did get some pretty sweet deals, including free Cover Girl make up (after coupons and rewards), free women's tops at Target, free coffee, free pantiliners, free ice cream, free cat food, free shampoo, free battery powered tooth brush, free tights, and free mouthwash. Phew.
All told, I spent $34.20 out of pocket on the above items (these items with their sale prices alone, without coupons, would have cost me $94.68). Plus, I got back $16.59 in rewards and rebates!
1st store: Babies R Us
Bought Toddler Backpack/Harness for our trip to NY next week (since Anna refuses to wear it currently, I'm not sure this was the best purchase, but it may at least keep her busy on the plane, opening the pockets/zippers and figuring out the buckles)
