We made due with coupons we found in the store along with sales.
This week Publix had tons of BOGO free items.
Our first adventure cost $65 and we saved $25! Not to bad for having $0.00 coupons when we walked in!
Later, I watched how to coupon videos online at We Use Coupons! I can't believe how many people are "couponing" around here! I had no clue you could combine and use on Buy One Get One free sales! It is an amazing thing!
I'm going to experiment and see how much I can save. I have a plan....Save up as much as I can...Save all my receipts....Add it all up....and take a vacation when it reaches enough money! Hubby loves that idea! Haaa....What do you think?
Ok...So yesterday I went to Walgreens. I spent $20.00 and save $18.50. I bought things that hadn't been on sale at publix. Wet wipes, hair ties, barrettes, Easter Candy and Gum (got to love the kids eating gum). After Walgreens, I dropped off baby coupons to a friend. I will be recruiting her to join my sales adventures as well!!
Next stop, Kmart. I lost it at Kmart. I only saved $4.00 on my spin brush toothbrushes. They had been on sale from $8.98 at Walgreens to $5.47 less the $2.00 coupon. Pretty good deal!
Not too bad for one day. Today I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and purchased Touch N Brush. Everyone needs this (NOT!) LOL...You can tell this was a purchase for a 7 year old! Anyways, it was 20% off with the coupon so 4.00 off! Very good. Cheaper then all the other stores and it came with a toothbrush for dad.
Now I have all my coupons organized in my coupon holder. I don't have the one that is like a baseball card collection. I can't imagine carrying that around. I have a small little bag one that I purchased online. Very sweet looking...Glow Girl Fibers!
This is the pattern I have! I love it. I carry it in my purse all the time! I labeled the tabs by isle so it easy to use! I also had the back full of all the other stores...like Kmart, BB&B and gift cards. It is so much easier to actually use them now! (Thanks Glow Girl!)
