Adventures in Couponing - Bargain Hunter

Hi friends!  Don't forget to check out my Scrappy Garage Sale for some great deals on scrapping stuff!

Today, I went out in search of good deals and found some!  I got a great tip from The Krazy Coupon Lady that you can get Dentyne gum at Target for $0.04!!!  Seriously!  That's worth a trip.  I found a few other deals to take advantage of and I'll share them with you.

First, I hit Target to get the gum.  The deal was a 3-pack of Dentyne Pure gum that's on sale in the store for $1.79.  I double checked to be sure the price was correct and it was!  Not all Targets have the same sales, so always double check!  I had a store coupon for $0.75 off a 3-pack of Dentyne Pure, which dropped the price to $1.04.  Then I had a manufacturer coupon for $1.00 off any 3-pack of Dentyne gum.  Final Price: $0.04!!!  And that's all I bought.  I went into Target and spent less than a nickel.  That has NEVER happened!  Pretty proud of myself.

My next stop was Walgreens.  I use Dove deodorant and I'm on my last stick, so I was looking for a deal.  There was a coupon in this week's circular for Dove deodorant for $1.99.  I also had a coupon for $2.00 off any stick of Dove deodorant.  So I tried to use both, however, it wouldn't work.  Using both should have made it free, and even have them owe me a penny.  I think the problem was that I didn't buy anything else and the register won't let you check out with a negative balance.  So, I ended up just using the $2.00 off coupon, which made the final price on the deodorant $1.81.  Which is still a good price for it, but next time I'll be sure to get something else for less than a dollar so I can get the deodorant for free.  In fact, I'm going to try to find another $2.00 off coupon online and see if I can get the deal this week. 
*Lesson Learned: Always be sure you have a positive balance at the register to be able to use all of your coupons!

Last stop was Safeway.  This deal ended today so I'm glad I studied the circular this morning!  With your Club Card, if you buy 2 12-packs of Coke products, you get 2 free....AND you get two free boxes of Nabisco snack crackers.  REALLY?!?!?!  One 12-pack alone is $5.99.  I jumped on it.  So I got all of them for a final price of $11.98!  I saved $18.96!  61% savings.  That's fantastic! 

That's the first time I saved more than I spent and I did it at all three stores!  And it's all on stuff we're running low on and that we use.  Go me!

Got all this today for a total of $13.83!

  3. Every person has his or her own lifestyle and nature that is different from others. To find
    the ideal deodorant may be quite difficult, since there are so many different products out
    there that do not deliver as advertised. Whether you have sensitive skin or normal skin, or require just a strong deodorant, you will find a few great options to keep you fresh all day long. As recommended by many we introduce the most pure, best working Deodorant by Silvanapure for men and women.
