Another short blog. I have found that I am having most success with couponing in the personal needs department, which I think is great because a lot of that stuff is really expensive, and we all need that kind of stuff.
Today I went to Walgreens and I bought:
Pantene Pro-V Shampoo (reg price $5.29)
Pantene Pro-V Conditioner (reg price $5.29)
Re-nu contact solution (reg price $7.99)
Two tubes of Colgate Optic White Toothpaste (reg price $4.99 each)
Two packs of Five gum (reg price $1.49 each)
A Reese's Fast Break Bar (I honestly don't know how much)
The Pantene was buy one get one half off, I had a $3 off coupon,
The Renu I had a $2 off coupon and receive a $5 register rewards,
Toothpaste was two for $7.98, I had $2.50 in coupons, and get $6 in register rewards,
The five gum was on sale for $.99 each and I had a coupon for $1 off two.
I split my purchases into two so I could use my RR and when all was said and done I paid $5.61 for $32.12 worth of stuff. I consider that a successful trip! (I might start doing my couponing in Delaware because of that $5.61, more than $1 was sales tax.
(I had to buy the Fast Break bar to use the RR on my second purchase)
Yesterday I went to Walmart. I bought a lot of stuff I have been holding off on (face wash, eye drops, baby powder) I still worked my magic and this is how it went:
Clearasil face wash (reg $5.87)
Visine (Reg $3.62) (needed during allergy season)
2-pack of Reach toothbrushes (reg $3.97)
Johnson's Baby Powder (Reg. $2.97)
Six 12-packs of Shick disposible razors ($1.97 each)
Total: $28.25
The big key to this trip was the $6 off 2 packs of shick razors. Each coupon gave me and additional credit of $2.06 (times three was a $6.18 moneymaker). On top of that I had:
$1 off baby powder
$2 off Reach toothbrushes
$2 off Clearasil
$1 off Visine
When all coupons were deducted my total was $5.77 ($4.25 before sales tax)
For those of you are trying this out, let me know what deals you find and how your couponing is going!
