  • About Me

    I'm happily married with 6 fur-babies! (2 dogs and 4 cats and they are all special needs.) My life is dedicated to helping animals in some way or another. I've practically made a full time job out of couponing. I've been doing this for a little over a year and I'm addicted! It seems to always amaze people how much I'm able to get for very little money so I thought it'd be nice to share! It is very time consuming but worth every penny saved! I also hope to help new couponers get into the game!

Few smaller trips

Published by couponanimal at 9:51 am under Uncategorized Edit This

I want to go ahead a wrap up my shopping from last week so here are the last few trips:

Target:
(2)Listerine 6.00(sale price) -(2)$2/1q = 2.00

Total including tax: $2.56; Saved $4.88

BiLo:
(1)Ben & Jerry’s Icecream Pint 4.41 -1.41sale -3.00q =FREE

OOP: .03 for tax; Saved $4.38

Walgreens:
(1)Calamine Lotion 3.99

Total including tax: $4.36; Saved: $0!!
*Sometimes you just have to buy stuff with or without a sale or coupon. This was one of those times! Poor hubby got poison ivy…couldn’t let him suffer just b/c I didn’t have a q!! That’s what q’s are for, so we can afford the unexpected necessities. (Most of the time.)

Walgreen’s: (Trip 2)
(2)Bounty paper towels 2.58 -.80wags q -(2).25/1q =1.28
(2)Windex 7.58 -3.79(B1G1F sale) -(2).40/1q =2.99

Total including tax: $4.72; Total Savings: 5.89
*I will get $3.79 back from a Windex rebate too!!

I’ll be back later in the week with Publix, CVS, BiLo and maybe WalMart and Dollar General. (Depends on how the week goes.)
I will also be posting some really great websites that I’ve found to make a little extra $ and get some great prizes!
Look for recipes in the near future as well! (Gotta do something with all the stockpile food I buy!)
