My 1st Real BIG Shopping Trip!

Posted 10-04-2008 at 01:35:16 PM by TexasGal

Ok, so this week I set off to make sure I was completely organized with all my coupons, making lists of exactly what I was going for, and making sure I was matching my ads to my coupons in search of good deals.
Here is what I did:
First stop CVS-
CoverGirl makeup on sale 5.49 the 5.49EB back. Well since I am an employ of CVS I got my 30% discount as well. Ended up getting back 5.79 in EB.. I dont know why that was. I had 2 different coupons one for $1/any CG product and then BOFGAPF (Buy one foundation get any CG product Free) used both of them, did this twice using 2 different cards made out like a bandit! I even had to get candy as a filler to make up the difference on using my EB.
Next Stop Target:
I had 20 of Electrasol 2.25 off coupons, used 13 b/c that was all that they had paid 8.42 oop now I have enough detergent to last me a year or longer !
Next Stop Kroger:
Pillsbury bisquits 10 for 10.. had .50cent coupon off of 2 so doubled , it was like getting them BOGOF.
1 Rotesserie Chicken on clearance for 1.00
2 cans of Lysol marked 2.99 used 2.00 off coupons making htem .99cents each, not bad!
Next Stop Walgreens:
Wanted to take advantage of their Febreeze and Razors and boy did I ever! I walked out of there with 8 razors , 12 bottles of febreeze, and 6 bottles of Dawn, plus some Glade plugin warmers... 2.86 oop

Next stop Walmart:
6 4 pkg. Huggies CleanTeam wipes used 3.00/2 coupons
1 head of lettuce
bag of squash
shirt on clearance
total oop 7.43
Made another trip back to CVS to take advantage of their makeup deal.. did another Covergirl makeup and got 6 things of Dawn detergent there b/c it was on sale.99cents ! Plus had my .50 cent off coupons!
Next Stop Dollar General:
5 tubes Crest Whitening toothepaste used 1.00/1 coupons completely FREE!
Total oop for the entire week= 24.16!!
Total amount if I would not have had any coupons? Over 300.00!!

Phew Im tired, and soo excited! waiting until next weeks ads to come out which is tomorrow.. lol !

    I must be a slow learner. I didn't come close to your deals. I think I'm too gun-shy about using coupons.

    Good job. I'm thinking that maybe I should hire a coupon shopper buddy to go with me and SHOW me what I'm doing wrong.

    I am with FreckleTown. I can't seem to figure this stuff out. I did save money, but not near what I keep hearing from everyone else. Any suggestions?
