I’m in love with couponing.

Tonight I made a run to Walgreens and Giant Eagle.

Walgreens had some great sales this week along with coupons –

Transaction #1:
1 Aussie shampoo @ $2.99
1 Aussie conditioner @ $2.99
2 Oral B indicator toothbrushes @ 2/$4.00

Used $2.00/2 Aussie coupon from 9/13 insert
Used BOGO coupon for the toothbrushes from 8/22 RP
Used $2.00 register rewards on hand

Out of Pocket = $4.00
Received $4.00 in register rewards back!

Transaction #2:
1 trial size Thermacare heat wrap @ $2.49

Used $2.00 register reward from Trans #1

Out of Pocket = $.50
Received $2.50 register rewards back!

Total OOP (before tax) = $4.50!
Total register rewards left over = $4.50!!

Beauty.

So, I was feeling good already. Off to Giant Eagle, where it got even better.

I had been planning to stock up on some Campbells condensed soups, as they had them on sale for $1.00 each and I had a bunch of Campbells coupons from the 9/13 coupon haul, which (after they double the coupons) would mean the soup would be $.60-$.80 a can. Then it kept getting better!

I had seen that they had 5 packs of kraft mac n’ cheese on sale for 2/$6, which is a good price already. Then I noticed that they had peelie coupons on the packages – $2.00 off oscar meyer hot dogs, which were already on sale for $2.50!!!

I left Giant Eagle with 10 boxes of macaroni and cheese, 14 cans of campbells soup, and 2 packages of oscar meyer hot dogs for $17!! My cashier was marveling at the cheapness.

Are you sold on coupons yet?? :)
