crazy coupon lady at it again!

Friday, November 28, 2008


Ok, so this doesn't look like much but it ads up - I bought all of this stuff from CVS and Walgreens this morning for $21.46 total out of pocket. I have $18.95 worth of CVS's Extra Care Bucks (basically store coupons good on anything in the store - store credit if you will). So it's really like spending $2.51. I love collecting free stuff!
Adding up my store receipts, I saved a grand total of $152.94, so by that logic, going in and buying this stuff from CVS and Walgreens when it is not on sale and without coupons the retail price would be $174.40. Unreal!
Breakdown - just because it's so darn exciting for me!
Toothpaste - all free
Shampoo/Conditioner - free and free
lipglosses - free
Johnson's lotion - free
Clear nail polish - free
shaving cream - 1@$.99, 2 @ $.45
chapsticks were $1.29 each - my most expensive items
Razors - 4 for free or negative .01, 6 @ $.99
That Yes To stuff - some kind of lotion - $.99
the remainder - tax - gotta pay tax on full retail price
Yep, I am the crazy lady at the store running multiple transactions just to get the best deal - and it is so fun!!!

still yet, the most expensive item is the one thing we all know YOU can't live without! Ha!

So true, if I were stranded on an island I'd need a lifetime supply of chapstick
