Oops, I hit publish too early. My bad.
This week I tried Walgreens.
My zip code didn’t have a lot of coupons listed when I searched coupons.com this week, so I started fooling around and entering other zip codes. Is that cheating? I don’t know, but I’m not sure why when I searched my zip code only 112 coupons came up and when I searched the zip code of the Target that is only two miles from my house 148 popped up, so I don’t really feel bad for experimenting with it.
I went a little over my budget and wound up spending about $22 after tax, but I did save over $29.
I broke it into two separate transactions and checked out with all the deals that I knew would print register rewards first.
The best deal was the children’s medicine. Walgreen’s had Triaminic on sale 2/$10, plus they gave you back $3 in Register Rewards (a coupon for $ off your next purchase) when you bought 2 AND there was a manufacturer coupon attached to the box for $3 off when you bought 2, so they wound up only costing $2 each.
All together for $22 I bought:
- 2 Boxes of children’s cold medicine
- 2 boxes of Kleenex
- 2 bottles of hand sanitizer
- Gas X
- Baby wash
- Glade odor eliminator
- Windex spray
- Windex wipes
I also managed to save 72% at the grocery store & that time I only spent $9 for:
- Sargento shredded cheese
- 2 containers of cashews
- 2 greek yogurts
- 2 boxes of instant potatoes
- 2 boxes of popcorn
- 2 tubs of margarine
- and some Halloween decorations for next year
That one did feel pretty good. Oh, and I put my coupons in a binder. Baby steps.
Curious about my other couponing adventures? Here’s everything I’ve written about my experience clipping coupons.
That is super impressive – you are inspiring me to get more into my couponing! Half the time, I clip coupons and forget to take them to the store. Yikes!
