  • 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!

DG, WalMart & CVS

Published by couponanimal under Uncategorized Edit This

I made my 1st CVS trip this week. (Typically I do several transactions if they have good deals. I’m trying to hold out for the Pepsi/Lays deal until the end of the week in case I get a $/$$ q email.)

CVS:
(1)Schick Intuition Plus Razor 9.99 -1.00sale -2.00q =6.99
(1)Gillette Shampoo 5.99 -1.00sale -2.00q =2.99
(2)Pantene Restoratives Conditioner 12.58 -2.60sale -$3/2q =6.98
(2)Mentos Gum 3.38 -1.69sale -(2).50/1q =.69
-$16.79 ECB

Total including tax: $1.28; Total savings: $31.18

Dollar General
(6)Pounce cat treats 6.00 -(6).75/1q =1.50

Total including tax:$ 1.98; Total savings: $4.50
*You’re probably wondering why I purchase all those cat treats…well, they’re free or cheap and I have 4 cats. 1 that takes meds in the treats so I go through them fairly quickly. Plus there are Pounce Perks! There are codes inside the labels that are points. I have 1400 points…600 more and I get a $30 Visa GC. Nice perks!

WalMart:
(2)A&H Baking Soda 1.08 -$1/2q =.08
(1)Baker’s Joy 1.88 -1.00q =.88
(1)Ruffies Trash Bags 1.58 -.50q =1.08
(1)Cucumber =.68
(1)Bag of Carrots =1.44
(1)Bananas =.38

Total including tax: $4.11; Total savings: $2.93
