Because I Walk Around With Pockets That Are Bigger Than My Butt!!

I'm beginning to become swamped in coupons!!! Everywhere I turn, there's a tiny piece of paper. They are falling out of my purse, they are inside of my makeup bag, they are literally everywhere. If I were to stuff them all into my pocket, they would easily be bigger than my butt (and that's a pretty decent sized mass of meat)!!! Hence the reason I've been hitting stores left and right this week. I usually only do my weekly shopping on Saturday and Sunday but in an effort to get rid of some of the coupons before they expire (lots of them expire on 4/24) I made a few impromptu trips to Walmart and CVS. 



Savin' Maven (CVS)

This was a super easy trip at CVS. I spent $1.24. The gum was B1G1 FREE and I used 3 ($1 off of 2) coupons. The Listerine was FREE-they were on special for $1.00 and I used 2 ($1 off) coupons. When I scanned my CVS rewards card at the 'big red coupon thingy' in the store it printed a coupon for $1 off any Hershey's candy. I also received a $.99 coupon reward for purchasing a Green Bag Tag. I'm loving CVS.

Savin' Maven (Walmart)

Another easy trip. I don't usually go to Walmart nowadays because they don't have good matchups with my coupons but I made out on this trip only spending $4.68. The body washes were both FREE when I used my ($3 off) coupons. The Airwick was a great deal too!! It was only $4.98 and came with the Freshmatic Kit AND a refill. After I used my ($4 off) coupon, it came to a whopping $.98!!! The red bucket that you see was on clearance for $3-I have no idea what I will use it for but I love the color red and for the price I just couldn't leave it there.

These two trips cost me $31.20 but I only spent $5.92 out of pocket! I saved myself $25.28.

With these trips I found that it is soooo much better to shop earlier in the week because then the stores are fully stocked with the items that are on special. If you wait, you are bound to find that the shelves have been cleared-especially on the items that offer rewards bucks back when you purchase a certain dollar amount.

Questions, comments, concerns anyone?
