I Love Coupons!

OK, so I have to admit I'm addicted to coupons!  Don't worry I'm not as crazy as some of the ladies on TLC, although that might not be such a bad thing!  When I'm not to busy or there is a deal I just can't  pass up I go a little coupon over board!  Last summer was my first time to try (thanks to seeing all the great stuff my Sister In-Law Angie was snagging), and I've been hooked ever since.  I had enough shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, deodorant, kitchen soap, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, mouthwash, etc.. stocked up that I didn't have to buy any of it for a whole year!  The best part about it, I got almost everything for $0.00 - $0.50!!!  I'll start posting my weekly deals on Monday night that way everyone reading this that would like to save some extra money can try!

Deal from CVS

 



1. Listerine: On sale for $2.99 and you receive $2.00 back in Extra Bucks.  (If your not familiar with extra bucks, its a thing CVS does on certain items each week when you scan your CVS card.  After you pay for your items on your receipt it will print out the extra bucks that you can turn around and use as money at CVS)
I also printed a coupon off of www.coupons.com that was good for $1.00 off of 1 Listerine whitening product.
So with it being on sale for $2.99 plus my $1.00 off coupon that brings it to $1.99, now consider the $2.00 you get back in EB (Extra Bucks) that's like getting it for FREE!

2. Colgate Kids Toothpaste: On sale for 2 for $2.69.  There are no EB (Extra Bucks) on this deal, but at www.colgate.com you can print off 2 separate coupons for $0.50 off 1.  Since your buying 2 you need 2 coupons!  (Sometimes coupons will have a deal where it is so much off of 2 items.) 
So with the sale being 2 for $2.69 minus the coupon savings of $1.00 you pay $1.69 for both which comes to $0.85 for each!  Not free but still a good deal considering regular price at Wal-Mart is 2 for $4.56.

There was a third deal this week on General Mills Cheerios, but the store was already out:(  Luckily at CVS you can get a rain check for the sale price and the Extra Bucks deal! 
So here is the deal if your interested.
The cereal is on sale for $2.50 and when you buy 2 you receive $2.00 back in Extra Bucks.  At www.coupons.com you can print off a coupon that is good for $1.00/2 Cheerios.
So you buy 2 boxes of cereal for a total of $5.00 use your $1.00 off coupon which makes your total $4.00, now consider that $2.00 you get back in extra bucks its like getting 2 boxes for $2.00!  That's $1.00 each!

Deal from Walgreens

1. Colgate Total Advanced: (So this actually isn't that best deal, but considering I'm out of toothpaste it was the best I could especially considering I haven't bought toothpaste in a year.)
The toothpaste was on sale for buy one get one free.  At www.colgate.com you can print off2 separate coupon's for $0.75 off 1.  Even though its buy one get one you are still buying two items so you can use two coupons.
The toothpaste was priced for $4.29, so subtract both your coupons for a total of $1.50 its like getting 2 for $2.79!  That's $1.40 each.

2. Glade Expressions Air Freshener: On sale for $2.99 and when you buy one you receive $1.00 back in Register Rewards(Register Rewards on used just like the Extra Bucks are used at CVS.).  At www.coupons.com you can print a coupon off that is good for $1.00 off 1 Glade Expression Fragrance Mist Starter Kit.
So it's on sale for $2.99, subtract your coupon it brings the price to $1.99.  Now considering you get $1.00 back in RR (Register Rewards) its like getting it for $0.99!

3. Neosporin Essentials: On sale for Buy one get one 50% off!  The Neosporin is regular priced at $8.99 so when you buy the first one you get the 2nd one for $4.50.  That's a total of $13.49 for the 2.  At www.neosporinessentials.com you can print off a coupon for $3.00 off 1, but since you are buying 2 things of neosporin make sure you print off 2 of those coupons.  Now you can subtract $6.00 from your total cost to make a total of $7.49 for 2 or $3.75 each!  Once again not bad considering regular price for one is $8.99.

4.  Nivea Body Wash: On sale for $3.99 and when you buy one you receive $2.00 in RR.  So that's like buying it for $1.99!
