Dollar general.. $55ish for less than $5!

Dollar General is fun on the one day a week that you can use a DG coupon (print from their website) $5 off $25. Or if you shop that week, the coupon prints on a receipt!

Awesome CVS trip

Total spent including tax: 10.61, before tax I only spent $9.09 

Total saved:$82.61!! 

This week I used coupons from the Louisville paper- smart source and red plum and some from past papers as well as CVS coupons (they print when you scan your card at kiosk) 

I did about 5 transactions: 

1st: probiotics 9.99 but I got 9.99 back! I had a 1.50 coupon that printed and it was off a digestive product so it worked! Mammys printed a $3 off! So including tax I paid $9.09

My second transaction if got SEVEN things of garnier products! You had to spend $20 to get $5 back... That is before coupons :) they were on sale for 3/$9 and I had four $2 off coupons, two 1.50 off coupons and one $1 off coupon plus a cvs coupon of $2 off. I then got one thing of soft soap hand soap for 2.99 and I knew I would get $2ECB back. My total was a little over $10, which was perfect because I had $10 ECB from my last transaction!! 

Subtotal: .84!!!!!! (7 garnier shampoo and hairspray and soft soap) I saved 34.72 

Third transaction: 

I now have $7 ECB from the last transaction. So I got:

Two Colgate toothpaste for 2.99 I had a $1 off coupon and I got $2 ECB for each one! I also got bengay for $4.49 I had a $2 coupon and got $2 ECB! I also had $2 off pain reliever, CVS coupon so it worked for bengay! Plus I used my $5 ECB from the last transaction so I was able to keep my other $2 one :)

My subtotal for this was .13! Plus tax I had to pay .80 :) 

Last transaction: 

I had $2 ECB from a couple transactions ago that I haven't used, and I got $6 back from the last one so I was left with $8!! Woo hoo! I got three Purex, it was buy one get TWO free! And a thing of milk. Use my ECB and my subtotal was -.02 so with tax I paid .34!!! I saved 20.98 this transaction. 

 Then before I left I saw mentors gum was buy two for $3 and buy two get one free, so 3 for $3. Well I had $1 off each, so it was free!!!! Paid .18 sales tax :) 

The razors 4 packages and 6 packs of dog treats were bought at DG and were free! 

Razor coupon $3 off each, price is $3=free

Treats $1 each .. Coupon $3 off 3= free!

15 things of detergent for $4

Many have asked HOW IN THE WORLD?!? Let me tell ya, I surprised myself! Walgreens put the detergent on sale buy one get TWO free! So without coupons this is an awesome deal! It is typically $5.94 and was on sale for 4.94ish... I had coupons for $3 of 2 plus the deal... It worked out in my favor. Now, before coupons I bought 9 detergents and my total was $55 then she took the free ones off and it was only $15. Then I gave her my coupons which was $12 off that! 

It was very exciting to look in my back seat and see all this! Plus I did a good CVS trip with Scott paper towels so I was one happy girl yesterday! 

Warning: Walgreens was sold out last night and that was the first day of the deal. Even if you don't have coupons but want to stock up you can! Just ask for a rain check and get them later!! 

Happy couponing :) 

Stockpile is taking over and requiring expansion

I decided to work a ton of shifts in July plus take a week vacation so my couponing was severely neglected. I started getting back on track and working less overtime and because of this we are busting out of the seams in our stock pile closet! Our plans are to build some shelving in the laundry room and move items in the garage that wont matter with the weather.It is so much fun to coupon, especially for someone like me who loves to shop and can leave spending little to nothing. Cory has even caught on and is my coupon buddy, which makes it fun because we get to share this hobby together! I took some pictures to show you of our stock piles so far! We def have less than $200 in this and I would guess its worth well more than $1000.00; its exciting to look at this every day!!!

Happy couponing :)

90% savings!!!

My little cousin, Emma and I went to Kroger tonight to try another round of couponing since I still had shave cream as deodorant coupons. Luckily, the truck brought another shipment so we were able to make round 2!! This was one of the first trips that I felt like I was "Extreme couponing" because the cashier was nice enough to let me do it ALL in one transaction... I usually have to do multiple. Below is a photo of the register before coupons and Kroger plus card, then a pic of what I paid... I'll be honest, when I only took a $10 bill in and my total was $80 I got nervous haha!
