Guess how much I spent?
First I have to tell you I have just learned the secret to coupon shopping and how to really get a savings using coupons and sales. I was asked to give a short mini class on this subject for our Relief Society (women's church group), but first I had to learn it myself, so I set off on the world wide web and started learning and boy did I learn a lot! And now I'm so excited!
I gave my class last night and so yesterday afternoon I thought hmmm...I think I'll give this a try. The husband went with me and he was impressed too! And I'd say he actually enjoyed it although I'm sure he won't admit to it. ;)
So did you guess? What was your guess? Ok, I'll tell you.....
The total value of these products is 137.00.
I spent.....drum roll please..... 47.00!
For a grand total savings of 90.00! Can you believe it!
In a nut shell what I did was I bought items that were on sale and then combined coupons with them. The non-food items I purchased at K-Mart on a double coupon day.
Here's a few examples of my savings......
The Chex cereal was originally 2.50 on sale for 1.50 if you bought 4. I combined that sale with a coupon for 3.00 off of 3 boxes, which made each box..... .75 cents!!
The Ritz crackers was originally 3.99 a box (you've got to be kidding!). On sale for 1.99 each coupled with a coupon for 2.00 off of 2, which made each box..... .99 cents!
The Cottonelle tissue was originally .99, on sale with an in store coupon of .79 coupled with a .50 off on 2 made them .54 cents each!
The Colgate toothpaste was 3.99 on sale for 1.99 with an in store mfg's. 1.00 off coupon for a total of .99 cents!
The 2 spray cans of Lysol originally 5.29 each. On sale at 2 for 10.00 coupled with my 2.00 off coupon (which I had 2 of--so 1 per can) and they were doubled, so it was the same as 2- 4.00 coupons (8.00off), for a grand total of 2.00 or 1.00 each!!
The 2 bottles of Cascade rinse agent originally 3.79 each, not on sale, but with the coupon (2 actually) they were freeeeeeee!!
Anyway that's just an idea of what some of the deals were. I can't wait to do it again and again and again! If anyone's interested I'll see about posting the tips and tricks that I learned sometime this coming week, but in the meantime I'll be off coupon clipping and searching the sale ads.......................
