I went to the websites of each store I was going to shop at and I copied off their coupon policy and went over it a few times so I knew it well. I checked every clearance spot in every store and matched up coupons. I found meds that were supposed to be 6 dollars on clearance for 2.83 and I had 2 dollars off each. I paid .83 cents for each! Because the coupons for Gold Bond lotion did not state which kind and didn't say it couldn't be used on trial size I was paid to take Gold Bond Trial size Lotions. I found a whole end cap with hair dyes clearanced for 3 and 4 dollars so I got out the coupons and got them for 1 and 2 dollars a box for colors that me and my daughters would use.
I am transforming a book shelf into a open pantry in my kitchen for overflow from the enclosed pantry I have that is not very big. I actually like the looks of a neat open pantry. For a wife and mother its a good feeling to gaze over all of your stockpile!
I took a picture of all my finds to put on here (don't look at my dishes I put off to go to the store, lol). Well I got 40 dollars worth of just shavers for 12 dollars! I was excited about that because I hate when its time to buy razors because they cost so darn much. My 3 store total was (and this included some non coupon items such as milk, meat, pop) 229.94 and I saved 153.00 in coupons and store rewards. The next day I went to Lowe's and used 20 more coupons that all doubles and spent 29 and saved 57. Since you can only double 20 coupons a day at Lowe's I decided since its only 10 minutes from my home I could go there a few times a week and use 20 coupons each time and really stock up my cupboards for not alot of money at all!
These are pictures of the first shopping day when I saved 153.00! Lots of stuff and we will use it all! I didn't get anything we wouldn't use. All the new sale ads here start Tues. and Wed. so I will be matching sales to coupons starting tomorrow again. My great deal on toner (52 dollar a piece toners if bought at office store) where I got two toners for 13.50 a piece on ebay, new, unopened, free shipping from someone who has sold 101 of them with no complaints should be here tomorrow so I will be up and running for printing all my online coupons. Gotta get the laundry and cleaning done today so I will have the time to do that tomorrow! Have a great Monday!
