Biggest Savings Up to date! Thanks to HCW I am learning

[jeffcocouponlady]

Well I have been participating greatly in the Contacting companies and thanks to you guys at HCW for getting me started I am more motivated to contact these companies, plus getting coupons from different sources I feel I am finally learning. The other Day I went to Target and Purchased

(2)Big Pak of Huggies Diapers 54 Count $19.97
(1)Huggies Natural care Baby wipes 64 count $2.39
(1)Pampers Jumbo pack of Diapers 23 count $9.49
(1)Box of Hostess Ding Dongs $3.09
(1)Box of Hostess CupCakes $3.09
(1)Yoplait 4pk $2.09
(1)4pack of King's Hawaiian Sandwich buns

With coupons I received directly from the manufacturer I spend $1.51
I had (2)Free Huggies diapers up to $20.00
(1)Free Pampers diapers up to $10.00
(2)Free on ANY Hostess product up to $3.49
(1)Free on 4pk of Yoplait Yogurt
(1)Free King's Hawaiian Product up to $4.49
(1)$1.00 off any Huggies Product.

Then I went over across the street and purchased at Schnucks
(5)12 Pk Cottonelle Toilet Paper $6.79(on sale)

I used (5)Free Cottonelle 12pk of Toilet paper up to $9
I paid nothing So I saved like $40

Now I just wish that people would quit giving me the evil eye when it comes to using coupons. The cashier at Schnucks inspected the coupons for like 3 whole minutes holding them up to the air like if they were money. Then she calls over her manager to look at them, ask me where I got them. Luckily in my coupon binder I have a pocket where I have been storing the letters that the manufactures have been sending me with the coupons. So she said yeah go ahead and put them through.

But all in all I got tons of stuff for only $1.51 I am loving it.

(5)Free Cottonelle 12pk of Toilet paper up to $9

really?

[jeffcocouponlady]

yeah I did get the 5 cottonelle ones I can show you guys the receipts of my purchase from the store I went to and the letter from cottonelle I have no reason to mislead anyone or exaggerate something that I didn't get I was just excited and wanted to share my savings with you guys. I wrote to them while I am doing the contact companies challenge and I gave them a compliment/complaint more of a compliment though and they sent me the coupons that I got. I told them that I am a long time customer of their product and that I love it. I also told them about how the package that I usually buy is not available at my local store that I normally shop at (the complaint part which I wasen't really complaining).

Not to say they didn't mail these to you, or that they are for the value mentioned, but I just called them to see if they would send me coupons, they said they have none available for send-outs - that I should look in the Sunday newspapers or get them from the internet.

Hmmm. Were these a replacement for a damaged product/problem??
