Latest deals

Luckily my kids don't read my blog or they would seriously kill me for my coupon posts. But I just get a little giddy about my finds - so read on or just ignore the nerd post ;)

Both of these photos are from this week at Walgreen's.  I got:

6 - 6 packs of Viva paper towels (my favorite kind) - $6.99 ea.

6 - got 2b hair products ($6.50 ea.)

4 - Tylenol cold ($6.99 ea.)

2 - personal items ($3.50 ea.)

2 - Neosporin Lip health (Marisa loves these - $5 ea.)

20 - UP2U gum - $1.49 ea.

6 - movie theater candy boxes ($1.39 ea.)

So my total retail price should have been about $164.00 without coupons and deals.

I paid out of pocket about $25 and I still have $5 rewards to spend next time!

I heart coupons!

Latest coupon deals

So here's my latest really good couponing deals:

I bought:

8 boxes of Rice Krispies ($2.50 ea) 

(I see treats in our future!)

4 bags of M&M's ($3 ea)

6 Right Guard Totally Defense 5 deodorants ($4.50 ea)

160 (that's not a typo!) packs of UP2U gum ($1.29 ea)

(I only put 60 in the photo-there's another 100! You might wonder if that's excessive - I have 100+ cute girls to buy treats for for girl's camp!)

The retail cost on all of this would have been about $265 plus tax!!

Guess what I paid total?!  ONLY $12  I kid you not :)

My Walgreen's deal!!

Lately my kids have been calling me a coupon nerd. I've just started to do some couponing the last couple of months - nothing extreme (I've never even watched that extreme couponing TV show) - just coupons of things we use or could use.  On average this past month, I've saved $40 - $70 a week on groceries. It has let me stock up on staples and such with really good prices - so I can just "shop" from my own pantry now.

Walgreen's can be a couponer's total jackpot - it can be a little confusing at that store so I've never ventured into trying it. But this week I mustered up the courage and followed some directions and this is what I got - all for only $1.98 - I kid you not!! If I had bought them all without deals, it would have cost $86!!

Now that's a deal I can handle being called a nerd for! :)
