Labor Day sales!

Lots of Labor Day sales going on out there. Be sure to check flyers pretty thoroughly. I almost missed the Lowe's deal!

I would have gotten more, but I'm so well stocked from previous sales that I'm not certain I'll use what I have...

Here's what I got today.

Meijer:
Picked up 3 Charmin 30 pack double rolls at $14.99 ea. P&G has a $10 mail in rebate form that prints out wyb $40 worth of select products.
TP is tough to find cheap, so I jumped on this even though I've got a decent stockpile already. By my calculation I got 180 regular rolls for $34.97, which puts the price at $0.194/regular roll. Best price I usually find is $0.25/roll for the really cheap stuff.
I also picked up a couple of 12 drawer small parts organizers (for random screws, nuts, etc). They were originally marked 12.99, on clearance for 7.79, and rang up at $3.24.

Lowe's:
5 cans of Wasp & Hornet spray at $1.00 ea. Regular price on these is $2.47 and 5 cans will probably last us 2-3 years. I mostly live and let live, but my gf has a mild phobia about stinging insects so it's good to have around the house.

Wal-Mart:
I stopped in at Wal-Mart to check their price on Q-tips. Ended up getting a few health&beauty supplies (shampoo, antacids, and Q-tips), and found the PERFECT Christmas present for a dear friend of mine. The item was marked $9, rang up as $7 and came in her favorite color (green).

Marsh:
Corn on the cob, 4 ears @ $0.20 ea. We're coming up on the end of the corn season, so I'd like to partake before prices start going up again, or the corn is just gone entirely...
2 pk, Aunt Millie's Hot Dog Buns, $0.99 ea. I still have quite a few packages of brats, hot dogs, and smoked sausage from sales earlier in the year. We'll have some this week and I tossed the other package into the freezer for later.

At the end of my trips, I spent $90.84 and saved approx $50.
