Here's my price checking list... I saved $114.17 today!! Although the book retails savings can be a bit misleading, so I saved $20.20 on food and misc items (excluding the 2 books and 2 Happy Planner sticker packs). For edible stuff, the Yishi oatmeal, Spanish rice, and energy drinks were the best deals! I spent a long time price checking online almost everything I bought, listed below. Non-Food Items: * Guru-Nanda interdental brushes (20 piece), costs $1.45/pack on Amazon (saved $0.20) * TruBeauty 3-pack of makeup sponges with storage case, similar products around $4 on Amazon (saved about $2.75) * Maybelline Fast Gel nail polish 14 mL, $2.50 on Maybelline website (saved $1.25) * Happy Planner sticker book, retails for $21.99 on Happy Planner website (saved $20.74!) * Gem 8-piece manicure set, a similar set at Dollar General costs $2.25 (saved $1.00) * Tartan + Twine wristlet strap (their products are sold at Ulta, I didn't know!), retails for $8 (saved $6.75) Food Items: * Yishi Toasted Black Sesame Oatmeal cup, $3.19 on iHerb.com (saved $1.94) * Eat Regal Gourmet Spanish Rice microwave bag, currently $2.17/pack (in a 6-pack) on the Regal Kitchen website (saved $0.92) * Marcel's Modern Pantry Sweetened Vanilla Almond Beverage 32 oz shelf-stable, comparable Almond Breeze product costs $3.49 BUT generic Target brand product costs $1.79 (saved $0.54) * Banquet Mega Bowls Chicken Fried Beef Steak frozen meal ($3 at DT), costs $2.98 at Walmart but $3.19 at Meijer (so either lost $0.02 or saved $0.19 depending on store) * Bibigo Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings frozen meal ($3 at DT), costs $3.52 at Walmart and $3.79 at Meijer (saved $0.52-$0.79) * Pampa Zesty Italian Dressing, costs $1.50 at Kuhn's Market (not a store in my state) and Walmart's Great Value dressing costs $1.97 (saved $0.25-$0.72) * Premier Pantry Beef Pasta 7.4 oz, supposed to compare to Hamburger Helper which is $1.48/5.9 oz = $0.25/oz and this product costs $1.25/7.4 oz = $0.17/oz (saved $0.38) * Better Made Special Potato Sticks 3 oz, a 20 oz pack on the Better Made website costs $11.96/20 oz = $0.60/oz but $1.25/3 oz = $0.42/oz (saved $0.55) * Hungry Jack Hashbrown Potatoes 3.2 oz, said wrong retail price in the video because there was an error with the Walmart app. Costs $1.82 for 4.2 oz at Walmart = $0.43/oz, but $1.25/3.2 oz = $0.39/oz at Dollar Tree (saved $0.13) Drinks: * Big Game Energy 16 oz, costs $2.48 at Walmart (saved $1.23) * 3D Energy Drink 16 oz, costs $2.25 at H-E-B (not a store in my area but checked online) (saved $1.00) * Liquid Death sparkling water 16.9 oz, at Walmart costs $1.98 for a 19.2 oz can (or $3 at convenience stores), so it is correct that it ended up at Dollar Tree because the size of the product has changed! Costs $0.10/oz at Walmart and $0.7/oz at DT (saved $0.49) Seasonings: * Morton Fine Sea Salt 4.4 oz, costs $1.33 at Walmart (saved $0.08) * Palermo Garlic Sea Salt grinder 3.9 oz, at Big Lots costs $3.99/9 oz = $0.44/oz, but $1.25/3.9 oz = $0.32/oz (saved $0.47) * McCormick's Applewood Bacon Bits 1.87 oz, on Amazon costs $2.42/4.4 oz = $0.55/oz, but $1.25/1.87 oz = $0.67/oz (lost $0.22. Do It on a Dime recommended the bacon bits as a good deal, but it's actually more expensive, oh well!)
Sketchy chemical that was in the Renuzit, gel beads, and spray air fresheners that I couldn't remember the name of. I misspoke, it doesn't have reproductive toxicity but it's suspected of causing skin irritation and allergic effects: www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredients/703924-METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE/

The hungry jacks are great, you can get a lot outta one box.

Oh throw back to Tuesday morning! I completely forgot about that place.
It used to be one of my favorite stores, so it still comes to my mind once in a while!
