I am that crazy lady you see in the store with a binder full of coupons.
I love coupons. I love bargains. I love rebates. I love yard sales.
I come home from shopping and say to my (ever patient) husband: “How much would you pay for this?!”
This can go a couple of ways. Usually he guesses the regular retail price and then I Wow him with the bargain I got. Sometimes he’s feeling saucy and throws out a ridiculously low price in an attempt to one up me. Sometimes he really has no idea and guesses an absurdly high price. My favorite is the first one.
Anyway! I thought to myself what is better than sharing my bargains with my husband? That’s right! Sharing them with the world!
So, this week CVS was running a deal. If you spent $25 on specific Proctor & Gamble items you got a 9 pack of Charmin toilet paper free. But, wait, there’s more! All of the specific items were on sale AND the P & G coupon flyer came out this week! I know, exciting stuff!
I fully intended to take a picture of everything I bought because I thought it would be dramatic but then I forgot and put everything away. So picture this:
An 8 pack of Bounty paper towels
Two Old Spice Deoderants
Two tubes of Whitening Expressions toothpaste (I am addicted to the cinnamon!)
A box of pantyliners
Two boxes of tampons
Two bottles of Dawn
A 20 pack of Duracell AA batteries
A 12 pack of Charmin Ultra Toilet Paper
All of this plus a $1 donation to ALS came to $31 and some change including tax. Plus, I got $11 in coupons for use on anything in the store! And did you notice that I said 12 pack of Charmin Ultra in the list but 9 pack earlier? They were out of the featured t.p. so I got 3 extra rolls of Ultra! (An $8 value!) I saved $41.61!! Yeah, me!
