Okay, so it has been a month since I started couponing. As I go every weekend, I learn a little bit more. I made mistakes into using coupons but not reading the fine print so I end up paying more than I should if I have used my coupons right.
As I looked at the deals this week, there's not much I liked really so I just shrug my shoulders off ( I am careful not to hoard since we will be moving in 3 months). Besides, I only go on Saturdays which means most of the good stuff are gone. Since I started, I only go to CVS or Walgreens. I compare prices for both pharmacies and I go to where I feel has a better deal - which is CVS - mainly because I love the Extrabucks! And also I finally learned to "roll" it. At long last I learned to remember to have different transactions and use the Extrabucks from the previous transaction.
On post-Valentines Day weekend, I found out that Rite Aid has the best deal for the KY Intense. I bought one from CVS where I recieved 15$ worth of Extrabucks and of course I thought that was a great deal. Right Aid's deal was buy 25$ worth of KY Products, get 25$ gift certificate from www.restaurants.com. So yaph I missed that one. Needless to say, another lesson is learned - I need to compare the three pharmacies.
Today, I went to CVS not really looking forward to anything. I just walk in their with my coupon binder without a purpose. Then I picked up these:
Transaction #1.
Coldcalm @6.99 get 6.99 ecb = FREE
2 Sally Hansen nail polish @3.41 each
- used BOGO (allyou feb issue), and 1.00/1
Total was 38cents. (The cashier and I were both surprise for that result. Then she said "well as long as it works, it works" , and that I agree! Must be a lucky day for me.)
Transaction # 2 (Using my old CVS card, with my old address)
Coldcalm @6.99 get 6.99 ecb = FREE
Advil Congestion Relief @4.99 (20ct, regular price is 10.49)
- used the 3.00 coupon from the printing machine
Total was 41 cents. ( Another wide eye for the cashier and me. But hey it's what the register says so we went ahead with that!)
Transaction #3.
4 Right Guard Deodorant @1.14 (regular price is 7.49)
- use 2/3.00 coupons krazycouponlady blog
Total was - 27cents ( They don't give overage but that is okay after all, the register was "helping" me.)
So that was it for this week's deal. I am overjoyed to get close to 60$ worth of items and only pay for tax. It's fulfilling!
I have been getting ideas from the couponing blogs. One thing I noticed is that the prices are not always the same ,so does the unadvertised deals and the printing machines. All the same if you can save and you need it go for it!
