My apologies in advance to my brother Travis, who wonders why I post so many pictures and stories of my good bargains (quick answer - "because I can"), but I get so proud for solving the puzzzle of which coupons to use on what sales to maximize savings. As Elliott put it yesterday, "it's your own personal Sudoku puzzle."- gallon of milk
- newspaper
- bottle of asparin
- Infant Advil
- 3 bags of Werther's candy
- 2 bags of M&M's
- 3 Sprees
- 5 boxes of hand sanitizing wipes
- 5 travel boxes of Q-tips
- cling wrap
- aluminum foil
- 2 tubes of sunblock
- twin pack of Swiffer Wet Jet pad refills
- Resolve carpet cleaner
- 2 packs of Trident gum
- 2 packages of Similac ready-to-feed formula bottles
- new tootbrush for Ava
- pacifiers for Lily
- Splenda
- 10 packs of baby wipes
- box of crackers
- 2 rolls of packing tape
Once again, I will spare you the monetary breakdowns, but all of the above items were purchased for $0.00 out of pocket (I think I put under $1 total on a gift card after all of my coupons and Extra Care Bucks) and I came home with over $15 in Extra Care Bucks to use on my next shopping trip. Yeah!
I have decided that my own personal challenge, now that I seem to have gotten the hang of the couponing-thing, is to try and roll items I need into my purchasing scheme using coupon and Extra Care Bucks overages. Elliott was surprised that I could come home with free milk and other necessities for the house (things which were indeed on my shopping list) - all by figuring out how to roll it into the overages. Stay tuned for more excitement!
Final note - all of my really great CVS coupons expired yesterday so I may not see this haul again for awhile. But we can dream, can't we?
