wow! this is a great haul and a fabulous example of maxxing out your money!!! nice work. whenever i use coupons and score big deals, not only do i feel virtuous about all my savings, but i feel like i make my thrifty, savvy, wise, coupon-queen mother proud.
ReplyDeletethis was a really nice post for you to put together!! very informative :)
ReplyDeleteWow... you're REALLY good at what you do haha :)
ReplyDeleteyou are the Queen! i need to learn how to cut down cost from you for sure. Love this post!
ReplyDeleteI do this pretty much every week possible. It's like an addiction. I really need to get to Walgreens by tomorrow because of their Nivea sale but I don't know if I will. I just got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday and I look like a chipmunk because of the swelling, LOL. But yea, I love clipping coupons and getting stuff for really cheap, or for free. It's awesome.
ReplyDeletebeautifulmonday: Thank you, sweetie! And I agree with you completely. My mom taught me well, and even she is stunned sometimes at the deals I'm able to get, just by paying attention to coupons and sales. :)
ReplyDeleteBeatriz: Thank you so very much for that! I hope I've inspired you to get deals like this for yourself! It's super easy once you get the hang of it. :)
Amy: Thank you, honey!! I really appreciate that. :)
jojoba: Awww, thank you, sweetie! If I can do this, you TOTALLY can do it too. xo
geckogal: You ROCK! :) And I hope you feel better soon--getting wisdom teeth pulled is no fun at all. :(
You're amazing! I'm so impressed with how good you are at scoring deals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I wish we had a Rite Aid! I too have been racking up the Nivea body washes since that coupon. I'm gonna get my 3rd one this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I went to CVS yesterday and saved close to $30! I would have saved a ton more, but my local paper didn't have half of the coupons on Sunday that there were suppose to be. (I have been bummed big time with my local paper's coupons lately!) I did order some from offline, but I didn't get them until today. But still! I worked with what I had, and thankfully there were some sales on at CVS.
ReplyDeleteI ended up with a nail polish, three bottles of dawn hand renewal, Listerine teeth whitening strips(there was a $5 off coupon on the box of those.) two Nivea shower gels, and two Nivea lip products(I'm not the biggest fan of those, but I like my ECB's haha, and they will be good to use while I'm working) I may have bought one more thing, but I'm not sure off the top of my head. :D I ended up spending $30.
That was a record in saving close to $30 for me when it comes to shopping at CVS! I usually never do good while their deals. I was going on to anyone that would listen about it! haha
Thanks for always posting about deals and sales, (& those helpful scenarios) when you find out about them! They are a help to me!
Lots of Smiles!
PCS: You are too kind, honeypie! You've scored some great deals too, I know! :D
ReplyDeleteadorepink: You are so welcome! I really wish you had a Rite Aid too, darnit. :( And you must tell me which scents you got from Nivea--I am loving ALL of mine so far. Their fragrances are so unique! :)
Ashley: OMG, scoooooooooooore!!! I am so so so proud of you!!! And believe me, I know exactly what you mean about going on to any anyone who listens! I do the exact same thing and all my friends/family are probably sick of hearing about it at this point. lol! So whenever you have the urge to tell someone about a great deal you just got, know that you can ALWAYS come here and I will be SO excited to hear all the details. :D
Congrats on the Wet n Wild deal! Two or three years ago, they sold some very basic skin care (found it at Target). Is it discontinued? I really liked the cleanser and moisturizer.
