Here's today's report:
The link from Krazy Lady's coupons for dove products did work, I was able to stack the two manufacturer's coupons together. You can print off two coupons per computer. (The sale is buy one deodorant for $3.49, get a body spray for free - with the coupons it is all free). So today I waltzed into Target, grabbed $14 of dove products, went to the checkout and in about 30 seconds I was asked to pay only the sales tax - $.49.
Then on to Rite-Aid I went. I got $22 worth of vitamins for $6.31.
I paid $4 for: 2 12oz gillette body washes, 3 Ivory bar soaps, crest toothpaste, Schick hydro razors and Gillette fusion razors. Full price for these items together would have been $32.45.
Uh, I don't think coming up with the money for my Grocery Game subscription and newspapers is going to be a problem!
The GREAT thing is that I needed to buy all of these items. Some friends will remember my shopping trip to Walmart a few nights ago where after a HUGELY ANNOYING wait in line, I - for the first time ever - abandoned my cart and walked away from the store.
It was annoying then, but I am laughing now - because what were some of the things in my cart? Walmart's generic brand vitamins that I would have paid double what I did today, razors, deodorant and toothpaste.
So, this new system is going to help our budget out a lot. I cannot tell you how happy I am that, for the time being, I get to be a penny-pinching, coupon-clipping stay at home mom. This season will not last forever, but I am going to take care of my family the best I know how no matter our circumstances.
