So I've decided to take up the hobby of Coupon Lady. Here's my first deals I stole today!
These are my findings at TARGET. The total was 16.85, which is a savings of 10.80! I'm using the Jet-Dry Dishwasher cleaner right now so I'll let you know how it works on the hard water stains. So I used a combo of Target coupons and manufacturer coupons (they call this stacking) to get my deals. For example, target has a coupon for 50 cents off any box of Jello geletin or pudding. I then found a coupon from the manufacturer for 55 cents off when you buy 3 boxes. Target's retail price is 52 cents per box so it came out to 51 cents for all three!
These are 2 jumbo packs of diapers (62 diapers total) and 2 packs of baby wipes (144 wipes) from WALGREENS. The wipe packages have coupons on them called "peelies" in the Coupon Lady World for $2 off the wipes when you purchase with a pack of Walgreen's diapers. Walgreens happens to have these wipes on sale for $2 each (they do it to themselves, really), so I paid $6 for each pack of diapers and got the wipes for free. PLUS, after checkout I got a $3 off any walgreens purchase coupon to use next time (these little dandies are called "catalinas.") So I paid 12.96 out of pocket (OOP) and got $3 "back" so technically it was 9.96, right? I decided to use the $3 coupon so I didn't forget about it and bought a $10 item for $7 (item not pictured).
On to ALBERTSONS, and this is my favorite. 3 bags of Steamfresh veggies (the kind you can microwave in the bag) and 3 Kikkoman sauces (I chose Sweet n' Sour and Teryaki Marinade) for a measly 5.16! That's a savings of 8.38. With your Preferred Card, certain Kikkoman flavors are on sale for 1.79. I found 3 different $1 off coupons for those so I got the 3 sauces for 79 cents ea! Then the veggies were on sale for $1 each plus I had mfg coupon for $1 off when you buy three. I only bought 3 to see my best deal (they ended up being 67 cents each) but I may go back and get more while they're on the store sale b/c a dollar each ain't bad either! Oh, and I got a $2 Albertson's coupon after my transaction to use next time an any purchase!
I would love to see that I'm so smart and figured out where to find the best deals on my own but I stumbled upon a little online secret I will share with you. fabulesslyfrugal.com. It will point out what's best to stock up on at Safeway, Albertsons, Walgreens, Target, Rite-Aid and a couple other stores. Even gives you links to the coupon sites!
