If you've been at my flickr lately you will know I am coupon crazy. It takes some practice and work to figure out all these deals but I love getting some for free (or really cheap) so I think it is worth it. These are all my freebies & deals from today - copied from my flickr. Also check my flickr for all my previous deals and how you can get them too.
Today was the last day of triple coupons (up to 50¢, so a 50¢ coupon=$1.50) at Shoppers grocery store. My mom and I waited to go today because of all the new coupons in this morning's newspaper. I actually bought 2 more newspapers - only cost $2.88 total - and we saved so much more with the extras. Most of the things in the photo we used coupons on. And in many cases multiple coupons.
Total before coupons: $237.01
Total after coupons: $125.60
Saved $111.60
Most of the stuff we got free. A lot of the things we didn't have coupons for were expensive: meat, 24 pack of bottled water, two eight packs of Gatorade, trash bags, milk and other misc. stuff. I'm guessing that if we only bought stuff we used coupons for we probably would have spent about $30. Click here to see photo bigger
The lady behind us was amazed and wanted to borrow me!
My CVS & Staples deals and how you can get them too:
1. BIC Mark IT 12 pack markers: Reg. $8.28 but on sale for $4.14. Then use this coupon. Even though the coupon says its for a 24pack mine still worked. You pay $1.14 for them
2. Caress body wash on sale for $2.99. I used a $1 off coupon and got it for $1.99. I think I got the coupon here, but I'm not sure. It was a printable coupon though.
3. Sally Hansen nail polish are reg. $2.49 each (for the type I got). The sale is buy one get one 50% off. Then I used two 50cent coupons from today's newspaper inserts. I got them both for $2.73 total
4. Gold Bond travel size is 99cents and I used this coupon to get it free.
I then used this coupon to get $2 off a $10 purchase - mine worked even though I had a less than $10 purchase.
My total was $4.46 and I saved $15.69
The rulers and pencils are free at Staples this week. Each are a limit of 2.
I've been a coupon addict lately. There is nothing better than a good bargain. Today on Money Saving Mom there is a coupon code for Borders.com:
"Through August 8, 2008, you can order anything for $5 or less from Borders.com and get it for FREE!
Go here and you can search through the products they offer which are $10 or less. Find something for less than $5, add it to your cart, and proceed to the checkout. (You can checkout as a guest to speed things up if you don't have an account with Borders.)
When it asks for the promotional code, enter: BR41925. Choose to have it shipped to your local store and your total will be $0!"
This coupon code applies to EACH book! Look at what I got and what I paid:
Isn't that awesome?! The kids books I'll use in my classroom & if the other books aren't good I'll add them to my bookmooch!
