Did you get all of that? That's a mouthful, huh?
Alright, so I finally got my blog changed, to a Valentine's Day theme. I even added some love songs to my player so you can all get romantic with your computer. You know, light a couple candles, pour a glass of wine and sweet talk it. Yeah, that's what I do, LMAO! I'm even getting caught up on my emails, although, so far, I'm really, really far behind on my Facebook requests, so if you are one of them, then just hang on to your britches, I'm getting there. Last time I worked on them, there was something like 70 requests. Grrrrrr.....I'm so tempted to ignore them all and start over!
So, last week Kmart was having Super Double Coupons up to (and including) $3.00, and boy oh boy did I have fun! My husband thought I had lost my mind! I stocked up on everything I could, as I had tons of coupons that I have stockpiled for the past 2 months. A few which were getting ready to expire, I used them just in the knick of time. So here's the pics of what I got....
Shopping trip #1:
Shopping trip #2:
Unfortunately, we are very brand loyal when it comes to our hygiene products, or I could get off a lot cheaper, but it is what it is. Mostly because I have sensitive skin, and well, these are the products that I KNOW won't give me problems, LOL. Some of the prices, I probably could have waited and gotten better deals elsewhere, but I'm not too sure on that. I've only been couponing a few months! Here we go:
Crest: 3.99- 3.00=.99
Head & Shoulders: 4.50-2.00=2.50
Degree Deoderant: 2.69-1.00=1.69
Dove Deoderant: 2.69-1.50=1.19
Dove Soap: 8.99-2.00=6.99
Olay Soap: 4.99-2.00=2.99
Vaseline Lotion: 2.99-3.00= .01 overage (FREE!)
Revlon Lipstick: 6.99-4.00=2.99
Revlon Shadow: 5.99-4.00=1.99
Softsoap Hand Soap: 1.29-1.00=.29
Covergirl Lipslicks: 4.49-2.50=1.99
Covergirl Mascara: 4.49-2.50=1.99
Covergirl Compact Makeup: 8.49-2.50=5.99
Almay Shadow: 4.31-2.00=2.41
Covergirl Smoothers Foundation: 7.49-2.50=4.99
Revlon Lipgloss: 5.99-4.00=1.99
Kotex Liners: 3.49-1.50=1.48
Kotex Pads: 6.00-2.00=4.00
Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid: 2.33-1.00=1.33
Scotch Giftwrap Cutter: 2.99-2.00=.99
Crest Rinse: 7.29-2.00=5.29
I got a few other things too, but didn't have coupons for them, just things I had to have. So my totals are:
Spent: $266.87
Saved: $235.61
I don't think I did too awful bad, especially since I took $300.00 with me and didn't spend it all! YAY! So, we are now stocked up for the rest of the year, and probably some of next year. I'm excited about it all, really, and I know just how goofy that is! It amazes me how much things like deoderant, shampoo and bar soap can run up your grocery bill each week, so I'm hopefully going to see a change in that now. Next I plan to stock up on paper goods, so look out!
Let me know how you all think I did, don't be tooooo critical of me! HA!
Happy Hump Day all,
Christy
