Free Toothpaste

Dillons is running a deal where you buy 10 specific items and get $5 off at the register.

Colgate Toothpaste was priced at $2.19 but was marked down to $1.49.

$1.49 x 10 = $14.90

$14.90 - $5.00 = $9.90

$9.90 for 10

Now the best part...Dillons doubles coupons up to $1.

I had 10 coupons for $.50 each which doubled up to $1 each.

$9.90 - $10.00 = + $.10

So I made 10 cents on my purchase.

There should be no stinky breath in this house!

cheap stuff makes me happy

4 pack of Razors...$6.54 each x 10 = $65.40

5 buy one, get one free coupons worth $32.70

Target offered $5 gift card with the purchase of 2.  So I got $25 in gift cards.

$65.40

- $32.70

- $25.00

 $7.70 for all 10 packages

That means I paid .77 cents per package or .19 cents per razor.

Why haven't I been couponing all these years?

That's right...

I jumped on the coupon bandwagon.

I've always wanted to figure it out.  I have finally realized that it is all about stocking up.  That way you can buy things super cheap and access them when you need them.  No more paying full price.

I am building up my "store" with all kinds of stuff.

Today I got my first FREE deal.

Walgreens was selling these toothbrushes for $1.  They are normally $2.99 each.

I had a coupon for $2 off two of these toothbrushes.

I had 10 coupons so I got 20 FREE toothbrushes.

Holla!

(P.S. I didn't realize you have to pay tax even when you get them free.  That means I spent $1.40 in tax for $20 worth of toothbrushes.  The bill would have been $64.16 if they were full price)
