I love coupons. We try not to pay retail for anything, if at all possible. There are tricks to the trade. As I blogged and entered giveaways, I was introduced to some amazing coupon queens! They have taught me, via their blogs and FB posts, how to fully utilize the coupons and play the drugstore games. I've been renewed!Last week I was able to save oodles of money on frozen food at Target stacking coupons PLUS gained $5.00 gift cards every time I purchased any 7 frozen food items. I banked all those gift cards and was able to use it to buy 2 video games for Wii (Zumba and Just Dance 2 on sale at Target for $29.99 each) Well.. I don't have Zumba yet, but I do have the raincheck and the gift cards on hand when it gets back in stock!
I got some amazing deals and my game plan all plotted out. I spent under $40.00 and saved over $100.00! Not too shabby, don't you agree?
The young lady at CVS stood there with her mouth hanging open after I purchased (7) Purex 3 in 1 detergents and (1) Pro Glide razor. After coupons and ECB's (extra care bucks) my OOP (out of pocket) total was under $5.00.
The nice lady at Rite Aid was equally amazed when I bough (4) Nivea Lip Care and (6) of the new Snacker candy (and 1 bag of Princess candy rings) all for nothing... zip... nadda!
At Walmart I was able to get (15) cans of Muir Glen organic tomato paste that sells for .97 each... all for total price of $3.25
Target and Food Lion are where I spent the most money... but even that was minimal compared to what I got. Febreze Sport, Gain Fabric Softener , Nature Valley Granola bars (free), ibuprofen, Pampers (a DEAL at 2.99 after sale price and stacking coupons). The only unplanned purchase was the Stouffers frozen lasagna. It came with free frozen garlic bread, free frozen Birds Eye Steamers, and free Pepperidge Farm cake. So.. I spent and extra 11.00, but dinner is served!!
