Couponing

Once upon a time I was an instructor for Coupon$ense. It was pretty cool to get all those crazy deals and I LOVED my stock pile (and so did many of our friends and the missionaries). I fizzled out when we moved to Colorado. Well, one night me and my hubby watched the new TLC show Extreme Couponing, and a seed was planted again. He teased that he would get all the coupons if I would do all the shopping. To my surprise, he came home from a 2 hour walk the other night, with all the neighbors coupons! I guess it was his subtle way of saying let's get started!

So, today I ran into Target real quick and saw an end cap with clearance twin packs of Old Spice body wash for $3.40. Well I just so happened to have a Target coupon for $1.00 off Old Spice body wash, and since Target is cool and will accept a manufacturers coupon on top of one of theirs, I used a buy 1 body wash get 1 free. That's right...4 body washes for $2.40...or 60 cents a piece! I grabbed 2 more to stock up. Then I found 2 clearance deodorants (which had a free body spray included) for $3.40 a piece, which I used $1.00 off Target coupon and a $1.00 off manufacturers coupon (I had to buy 2 Old Spice items to fulfill the coupon). That's $4.80. My grand total today was $9.60. That's pretty good considering I got 8 body washes, 2 deodorants, and 2 body sprays!
