Sometimes I get in a couponing slump and there's no good coupons or sales out. Well yesterday that did not happen.
First it all started with the mail. I got my Target Beauty bags in the mail. One for me-- and one for a friend. These are so great, they have pretty good samples and coupons in them--and they come in this cute little bag.
I get one every time they come out, because they send out so many. So if you see an offer for them-- jump on it. Better yet, tell your friends to 'like' Living on a Nickle page so they can know when to get one too!
Another wonderful freebie I got in the mail was a $10 off Victoria Secret purchase and a free pair of panties (no purchase required!)
I also got some other obscure samples... too, like Carnation Breakfast drink sample. Yum.
But my favorite part of the couponing day was when I went to do doubles at Albertsons.
I ended up getting Heinz White Vinegar, Paper towels, Kraft salad dressing,-- for FREE! Its a a big deal for me because that $3-5 that I would have spent, now get to stay in my pocket!
I ended up getting Popcicles for $0.50. A Pyrex glass mesureing cup for $2.89. Butter for $0.89. 3 packs of gum, all for $0.50. ( I did this by doubling $1 coupons, therefore making them $2 off. Like the Pyrex cup was $4.89. You get the idea.) Also some items were on promotion, if you got 10 of participating items you saved $5. Therefore making Barilla Pasta $0.75, instead of $1.25. Pretty good save.
Total price of this was $23.71! That's a savings of about 50%, maybe a little more. I'm not the math-wiz. |
