1) 2 colgate toothpastes (on sale for $2.99 each) and 5 crest toothpastes (on sale for $2.49 each). i had a coupon for $1.50 off colgate, plus another for $1 off. for the crest i had 75 cent off coupons for each one. i paid $13.47 and saved $10.75. i got 11.5 ecb's (4 for the colgate, 1.5 each for the crest)
2) 18 dawn dish soaps (11 oz. bottle were on sale for 88 cents each), 9 pert plus (would have gotten more, but that's all they had; were on sale b1g1), 2 orajel training toothpaste (also b1g1). i had 50 cent off coupons for every bottle of dawn, $2 for each pert plus. those, in conjunction w/ my ecb's got me down to a grand total of $1.10. but here's the kicker: i have a mail-in rebate for $1.50 for the orajel, so it's like they PAID ME 40 cents to take all that away from the store!
here's my haul--
so, today i spent $14.57 (minus the $1.50 'll get back from the rebate), and i saved $90.68! i SO TOTALLY ROCK! i was so excited as we were walking out of the store, i couldn't stop smiling and giggling!jon totally thinks i'm crazy, but he's happy w/ today's little shopping trip anyways. happy day! :)
You are going to need to email me and explain what you are doing! You are getting great deals on stuff. Plus you are stocking up!
ReplyDeleteHow do you use that credit? I have just a little bit but i don't know how to use it. Do you have to tell them you want to use it? how do you find all the good deals? I am so lost on how you're scoring so good!!
ReplyDeletewow thats awesome!!! where do you get your coupons? other peoples thrown away sunday papers? =]
ReplyDeleteash - i'll email you about it, it's alot of info to put here. . .
ReplyDeletetiffini - for the ecb's, they print a coupon at the bottom of the receipt. you just give it to them and they scan it like any other coupon. they do expire though, so keep that in mind.
holly - i go dumpster diving in the recycling drop dumpsters. you can probably find drop sites online. i've gotten lucky the past couple weeks b/c i found where the newspaper delivery people dumped all their leftovers. i have friends who go through neighbors' recycle bins and stuff too though. anyways, i figure since they're RECYCLING dumpsters, it's not too bad. they don't stink at all, so i just jump right in and throw what i want out on the ground outside. just be sure to wear sneakers, you don't wanna lose a flip flop, you know?
Ok, I am coupon crazy, but you are worse! I need to go shopping with you!!!
