I went to a couponing class this weekend and was all excited to go coupon shopping this morning. I made a couple of beginner mistakes, but all in all I think I did ok.
Walgreens
Gillette Fusion Power Razor $8.99-$4 mf-$4 RR= .99
Venus Embrace Razor $8.99-$2 mc- $4 RR= $2.99 $6.99 I forgot to do the razors separate so didn’t get the RR. 🙁
Free Olay Body Wash with purchase of Venus Embrace $5.29-$5.29= $0!
Right Guard Deoderant B1G1F deal. $2.99-$2 mc= 2/.99 or .45 ea!

Colgate Toothbrushes $10.97-$5 ECB- $1.50 mf= 3/$4.47 or $1.49 each. (deal was not as good as expected because I thought there would be $1.99 toothbrushes and there weren’t.) 🙁
Softsoap .88-.50 mf= .38
Spent $16.23 out of pocket and have $7 ECB for my next trip. Only a 28.69% savings.
Target
You get to see everything else I paid for as well.
Not everything I bought was sale/coupons… I did a little extra shopping as well. I’ll share the deals.
Scotch Fur Fighter $3.99- $4 mf= FREE
Mitchum Deodorant $1.99-$1 mf= .99
Orbit gum $1.77 $2.39-$1 mf= 3/$1.39 or .46 ea (It was supposed to ring up $1.77, but I missed it. As it was, the cashier rang it up twice and I focused on that and got my refund for that. sigh)
Swiffer Starter Pack $8.99-$2 mf= 6.99
Swiffer refill $4.79- $4.79 mf= Free (Coupon to buy any swiffer starter pack, get a free refill.)
Amount paid on those products $7.36 + tax. Savings $15.49. 67.79% savings!
Good Job. I have found if they don’t have the deal item I just wait and come back or just skip it completely like the tooth brushes. Its only a deal when you get that sale item. It takes practice and the right mind set. Like you can’t get excited and just buy whatever. I have done it and have to practice it wkly when I go shopping. I always ask if they have more and if they know when more are coming in. I missed out on shaving gel this wkend and was disappointed which is so funny. I already have 3 at home. But it is something I go thru in the summer.
Good Job.I did a publix trip this morning and the bill was 153.00 after coupons it was 48.00!!!!!!I love coupons
Wow Lorrie! You rock!! I’m just getting started on it 🙂
