Well….to be honest, the savings happened on Friday, but I am so excited to have stocked up on all kinds of things for very little out of pocket.
I think my new favorite thing is walking around Walgreens, coupons and easy saver catalog in hand, looking for the orange stickers that will save me mega-money! Well, today I found a bottle of Pert Plus on clearance for $1.85, and the easy saver catalog has a rebate this month for $2.50! So I will be making money on this purchase. For this being my first time making money on a purchase, it felt really good. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try this out. I also managed to get a nice rebate on my shampoo, finding it cheaper than anywhere else available in the bay area.
We’ll see if anything else comes of this new discovery. I’m just sad that the closest CVS is 3 hours away. You would think that living in such a big city, there would be one at least a little bit closer. Oh, well.
From Sonya:
Good for you!! I knwo how fun it is to save moeny. CVS is juts crazy savings…wish you had a closer one. Could you print allthe coupons sometime and make a field trip of it? I bought over $90 this week and paid $3.24 out of pocket. It is so fun!!
From Terri:
This is the first time I’ve visited your blog, but I had to comment on your gorgeous picture for your heading. That is amazing. Where is it located?
From Melonie @ Momma & More:
Nice find! Gotta love overages.
You’re the first person to actually mention that you wander the aisles with everything in hand – I always assumed that everybody on the frugal blog things is shopping with lists. But now that I think of it they never SAID that’s what they do! I’ve been making lists based on the sale flyers and my coupons, and then going in for exactly those items. I wonder how many deals I’ve missed along the way because I had my blinders on.
From jennifer:
Good for you!!!
Its awesome saving so much money,make me wonder why I never started coupoing earlier!!
Great Blog!!
From Jenny:
Thanks for the encouragement from all of you! I was even more excited when I found out the next day I could pick up 5 boxes of cereal for $8 total. I’ve seen better deals on moneysavingmom.com before, but none of those have been available in my area.
Terri, I’m sad to say that I’m not sure where this pic is from. This wordpress template was created by a photographer, and she put her own photograph in there. That pic is one of the reasons I fell in love with the template. Thanks!
