Couponing: Week 6

It has been about a month and a half since I joined the couponing craze. I think I'm getting better at it. Here is my loot for this week so far:



-5 Fuze low-calorie drinks
-2 Schick razors
-2 Dove Men Care body/face washes
-2 Dove Men Care deodorants
-1 John Frieda shampoo
-1 John Frieda conditioner
-1 box RepHresh tampons
-1 bottle Palmolive dish soap

Total retail value: $75.68 (with tax, it is $82.68)
Total paid out of pocket: $1.74!!

I figured out that CVS ExtraCare Bucks can be counted toward tax, so on each transaction I used as many coupons as would get me under $1, and I paid the difference with pocket change.

Who else out there is coupling??

Mariah Test Drives Cars

Because I constantly drag Mariah to stores for my new couponing craze, I like to reward her sometimes with some kid fun. This week I went to Albertsons and got FREE barbecue sauce (I actually made $0.12 from each after coupons). 

After Albertsons, Mariah and I went next door to Toys R Us. We looked at nearly EVERY toy in the store, including all the awesome Power Wheels cars. Mariah had to test drive every single one. I always wanted one of these when I was little. If only we had a yard, I would totally buy one for Mariah and live vicariously thru her :)

More Couponing!

Just wanted to share my couponing for the week:

-1 Coppertone sunscreen
-4 Comet cleaners

Couponing: Week 2

So I have been couponing for 2 weeks now. Here is all the stuff I got this week. With rewards, coupons and gift card bonuses, I paid NOTHING out of pocket for any of this stuff. It retails about $35 before tax. Plus I started getting free samples in the mail (pictured: Atkins starter kit and Carefree liner sample). I have been signing up for about 5-10 samples a day. I'm excited to see a few finally come!

Couponing!

 I have found a new hobby: COUPONING! A few weeks ago, I started watching the TLC show Extreme Couponing and I felt so beside myself. How in the world can these people be buying HUNDREDS of dollars for only $5-10??

It's all about the coupons!
