Coupons, Coupons, Coupons!!

So as you know I LOVE using coupons! I don't know what I love more?! Being able to purchase certain foods for my family that I otherwise couldn't afford, or watching the price at the cash register drop dramatically after I hand over my coupons. I follow many sites to get all the best deals, I buy at least 3 news papers every week and keep up with my friends about where they are finding great deals. I love our coupon nights that we just started a couple weeks ago and cant wait for the next one coming up soon!

Today I scored some GREAT deals and thought I would share them with you! I went to three stores, Walmart, CVS, and Homeland. Here's what all I got today:

The first store I went to was Homeland. Here are the deals I got:

• 3 boxes of Duncan Hines Premium cake mix. These were on sale for $.99 each. I had a coupon for Buy 2 get 1 free. Making these $.66 a box.
• Ivory Soap bars were on sale for $1.99. I had a coupon for $1 off which doubled making the soap completely FREE!
• Bounty Napkins were on sale for $1.29. I had a $1 off coupon which doubled up to the price of the item making them FREE!
• Bordon Singles Cheese were on sale for $1.99. I had a $1 off coupon that doubled making them FREE!!
• Mt. Olives relish was on sale for $1.29. I had a $.50 coupon that doubled making me pay only $.29!
• A-1 Marinade was on sale for $2. I had a $1 off coupon that doubled making it FREE!
• Glad freezer storage bags were on sale 2 for $3. I had $1 off coupon that doubled making them only $.50 each! (YAY for cheap storage bags! We use a ton of these a month!)
• Sargento Cheese slices were on sale for $2.50. I had a $.75 off coupon that doubled making these only $1.
• Land-O-Frost deli meat. On sale for $3.99. I had a $.50 coupon that doubled making this $2.99, that's the best price so far Ive ever paid for this.
• Items I did NOT have coupons for, Imperial Sugar was on sale for $2.49. There was a printable for this, but I didn't have it so I paid full price :( The Velveta cheese I needed for our Fourth of July cookout this weekend so it was a NEED. It was on sale, but again, no coupon. It was $3.99.

Before coupons my cost was $48.51. After coupons and after tax my total was $16.45!! YAY! And most of that cost was the sugar and block of cheese that were full price. Everything was FREE or almost FREE! And the even better part, is most of this I can use for our cookout this weekend!



The next store I went to was Walmart.

Now, I know that some of my friends have got some of these items at other stores for cheaper. This was the best that I got, but I'm pretty happy with the deals I got at Walmart. I NEVER get good savings at Walmart!

• Dove Men+Care Body and Face wash was on sale for $3.97. I had a coupon for Buy One Get One FREE up to $5.99. The cashier said that Walmart always gives you the maximum value off. So even though the product was only $3.97, she gave me a discount of $5.99 because the coupon was good for "up-to" that much. Talk about an awesome cashier! I paid a total of $1.95 for 2 body washes! (I'm not holding this as fact because I'm not familiar with Walmarts coupon policy and I have NEVER heard of cashiers doing this before!)
• Dove Men+Care Bar Soap 6pk was on sale for $5.97. I had a $4 off coupon making these $1.97! I had two coupons for these so I got 2 6pcs of soap.
• Gillette Men's ProGlide Razors in the travel section were on sale for $5.97. I'm not sure if this was a "sale" price or if that is the price they are daily. I had 3 $4 off coupons making these only $1.97 each. This was GREAT because Hubby Holmes uses this exact razor. I NEVER find stuff for him that's exactly what he uses. He will be very happy to have these :)

My total before coupons was $37.79. After coupons I only paid $15.01! Ive never saved that much at Walmart, so I was pretty excited about all these great savings! (Yes, I realize that I'm a nerd and I get excited about this lol but seriously, these are great deals people!!) :)


The last and final store that I went to was CVS. If it weren't for the fact that they have shopping carts with cars attached to the front of them that my daughter can get inside and "drive" through the store, then we would have NOT made it through this store lol. Shopping with a toddler is not an easy task and by this point I had her out all day and she had not had a nap, and was hungry, and I'm sure had a pull-up that was about to explode because it needed to be changed lol. So this was a VERY quick trip!

• Pantene Shampoos were on sale for 2/$6.97. I had a coupon for $3 off when you buy 2 making them only $3.97 for 2 PLUS a $2 ECB printed off on my receipt making these only $1.97 for 2!
• Dove Men's Deodorant was on sale for 2/$7. I had a Buy One Get One Free coupon making these only 2/$3.50
• Woman's Degree Deodorant was also on sale for 2/$7. I had 2 Buy one get one free coupons so I got 4 deodorants for only $7.
• However! If you spent $15 on select Degree and Dove products then you get $5 ECBS. Before coupons my deodorant costs were $21 so I earned the $5 ECB's for those.

My total before coupons 39.12! After coupons and after tax I paid $11.07. BUT with my $2 ECB's from the Shampoo and then my $5 ECB that printed from purchasing the deodorants I really only paid $4.07!! That's one of my best CVS trips ever, but then again, I'm new to alot of the CVS shopping.


I had so much fun shopping today! It was so great to get so many things my family can use and not break the bank. Today I spend a total of $42.52 and saved a total of $86.45! I cant wait to see what is on sale next week!
