Shop for (almost) free

There was nothing I NEEDED to get today, so I made this trip around town my garage sale prep and a chance to use up a TON of coupons that would otherwise expire or miss the sales.

Walgreen's has redeemed it's self! Well at least there is one I will return to. The ladies at the one on Curry Ford and Chicasaw were awesome! Thank you Ms. Muhamed and Josephina!
