When will I get really good at this . . .?
Sunday, March 7, 2010
I woke up today with eagerness. It's Sunday, so that means coupons day! I was excited because my mom and I made plans to make some homemade laundry detergent. I also have a big bag of clothes that I no longer like or want, so I needed to go drop that off. And I also had to drop something off at the Post Office. Josh was still sleeping, so I didn't feel rushed. I stopped at Jewel to pick up some things (including my paper) and then headed to the Salvation Army to drop the clothes off. I wanted to get a receipt for 2010 tax purposes but no one was there because, duh, it's Sunday; they are closed! Then, I went home, totally forgetting about the post office. Bleh.
But, when I got home, I cut all of my coupons (and there were some really good ones!) When I finished, I checked my coupon inventory and then started looking through the sale ads to see if anything caught my eye. Of course there was! :-] But only at Jewel and Walgreens. I was so excited to use my coupons . . . and in the end, did not save as much as I thought I would. Here's what I came out with:
Old Spice Deodorant: $3.99
Old Spice Body Wash: $4.99(Buy one, get one 50% off and $1 off coupon)
Gillette Fushion Razor Cartridges (4 pack): $14.99
Gillette Fushion Shaving Gel: $4.29
Gillette Fushion Razor: $8.99
(MFG coupon: Buy cartridges, get razor free. In-store deal: Buy cartridges, get shaving gel free. So, I only paid for the 4-pack cartridges)
Venus Razor (3 pack): $8.99
($2 off coupon)
2 Packs of Orbit Gum: $2.99
(In-store: 2/$1)
2 Nestle Crunch bars: $.99
(MFG coupon: Buy one, get one free. Catalina: $.49 for 1)
Total: $53.21
I Paid: $27.54
I Saved: $25.67
I thought I had some really good coupons, but obviously I spent a little much. When will I get really good at this whole couponing thing? :-/ It's kind of frustrating, but I guess it takes a little bit of time to learn, eh?
