I've always been a bargain shopper, and always will be, but I just started learning how to "coupon shop". It's quite the process, but totally worth it.
I've saved a ton of money, and I'm not even doing it totally "right" yet, meaning I could be saving more (I have a friend's mom teaching my mom who is teaching me). Here are my first two adventures.
1. Crest 3-D white strips, 5 minutes a day, month supply.
Regular price: $37.99
Manufacturer coupon: -$7.00
Manufacturer coupon: -$7.00
Store sale: -$10.00
I paid: $21.00ish
Score!
I could have gotten another $5 dollars off but I couldn't find the online coupon I needed so I just bucked up and paid the extra because hey I just spent $3500 on braces last year so I can pay a fraction of that to whiten them :)
2. Crest 3-D white toothpaste & mouthwash.
Together they were supposed to be about $7, and I got them for about $3. I can't remember exactly what went down with these, but it involved a store sale, coupon, and I did two transactions because after the first one I got a dollar store credit that I used on the second one.
Overall savings: $20ish
boo-yah.
(Yes, I did feel the need to share my underwear purchase with the cyber world.)
Alright so the last two pictures were today's adventure.
The dress and undies were just bargains I happened upon.
Dress: $5.98
(and this picture does it no justice! It's bangin.)
Undies: $1.98
Ok, so the razors and mascara were my coupon purchases. Target was having a special where if you bought two razors you would get a $5 target giftcard, and they were on sale for $7.99 each. I had two $2 off coupons for the razors so I got to use those.
Total: $12.00
Then I used the giftcard and a $1 off coupon for the mascara so it cost me a buck and some change.
Overall savings: $25ish
So basically, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. It's fun to see the negative symbol before the numbers on the little screen as the saving rack up :)
