couponing

I went to Homeland grocery store and got all this for only $34.31! It would have been $85.71 for a savings of $51.40 or a savings at 62%.  I am loving coupons!  This was my 2nd trip for the day.  When I went home I seen what I still needed and had to go back to get Kraft items, and Oreos and case of coke and some crackers and cereal. 
Have been to three local coupon classes and learn something new every time. I would love to learn how to save even more money each strip.

Saving Money!!

 

 

I went shopping with my coupons and this is what I bought.  It would have been 100.00 but I paid $25.00 for it all!  I also got back $16.00 in register rewards!  I am so loving Walgreen's.  I did multiple transactions so I could roll the register rewards to get the most out of my money.  I know I probably could have done better but had Aaron and Alexis with me.  From now on for the bigger hauls I think I will go by myself.  I don't think very clearly when I am distracted. 

I am using the 3 mouthwashes, 3 toothpaste and 3 toothbrushes in my baskets for my boys.  I have other items I will be putting in the baskets as well. 

Using Coupons

I haven't clipped coupons on a regular basis in many years.  So I have been trying to use coupons lately.  At first I looked at it like a job, spent hours looking at ads and cutting out the coupons.  With that being said I only did it a couple of times in May and thought uugh I really don't enjoy doing this very much!

Saturday I had gone over to Lawton and had a few coupons with me and went into Walgreens.  I decided to treat couponing as a game to win money.  You know I was thinking can I save money and enjoy clipping coupons at the same time? The answer is yes!! 

Most of ya know I am NOT up to date on technology.. I actually figured out how to upload online coupons to my Walgreen card.  AMAZING!!  Had no ideal it was so super easy to do.  Although next time I will make sure to write down the coupon I uploaded to the card...lol 
That would have helped me a lot if I had done that simple task.  Once in the store I had no ideal what coupons I had available.

I ended up buying $47.42 worth of stuff for only $30.74.  My goal is to get better each time I shop with coupons.  I actually had a savings of 37%..not to bad at all!!
