I paid $7 for all this stuff. I gave .25 each for the deodorant, a dollar for each shampoo and .50 each for the Chex mix, and $3 for a 6 pack of Scott paper towels!!!! I saved $20 according to the receipts.
There had to be a secret I didn't know to using coupons. I tried CVS bucks and wasn't having any success. I've heard of people who were able to get the bucks and get their stuff practically free. And Courtney buys 20 packages of cheese for .06 cents each.
So I did a lot of research and here's where I landed that taught me how to stack coupons with weekly store deals, and keep my CVS bucks renewing themselves. The site if full of amazingly helpful information so that after coupons some product are free. Yes, that's right, FREE. http://www.bargainbriana.com/ . This lady finds the bargain for you. Using The Frugal Map is also a great way to utilize others who've found the bargains for you.I was pretty timid at first. I was in Food City and saw what Briana calls a blinkie. The box of muffin mix the blinkie coupon was for already had one of those peel off stickers on it. I didn't really want the muffins, but I did want to try out this stacking business. So I purchased the muffin mix using both coupons and saved $1.50 on it!
My next move was to actually buy a newspaper. Of course it has to be the one that has that coupon insert thingy in it. So I flipped through the sales papers matching up my coupons to the stuff that was on sale. I also printed off some coupons from CVS and BettyCrocker. So far, CVS and Walgreens are the only places that I have found that will accept coupons printed off the internet. The CVS bucks renew themselves when you match up coupons to items in the sales paper that brings more cvs bucks.
I've spent a few hours learning how, but I think its an investment that will pay for itself.
