In effect I spent 6.29$ but have got back a total of 6.99$ from the rewards received + considering the rebate that will come in. 70 cents overage! Not much but then consider I got all this for FREE.
Like I always say.. "Couponing pays and is never a waste of time!"
P.S. Check your local Walgreens clearance section. 2 days ago I found a pack of 10 food storage boxes orginally priced at 5$, clearanced down to 1.75$. For 10 food storage boxes I thought this was a good deal. I also bought 3 tubes of Quick Fix Super glue clearanced down to 27 cents a tube.
P.P.S. Hubby doesn't use Degree, so this goes into the box for the Salvation Army. This is what I believe...
You may not use all the stuff you buy but if you can get something for free, buy it anyway and keep it in a box you set aside to donate to your local Food Bank or the Salvation Army. Somebody less fortunate can always benefit with your frugality!
Apparently you shop a lot like I do... sales and coupons. Great job on this last trip! There's no price any nicer than free.
ReplyDeleteI also donate items that we won't use.
