A deal is not a good deal if you cant use the item or if it goes bad before you can use it. I am seeing more and more people talk about couponing again. That is great and I would love to get back to full force but in the mean time, if you are spending money you don’t have on a good deal then you are just dumb. No one needs 17 bottles of detergent on a shelf! I just finished working on my Amazon subscribe and save order, I follow a couple of rules, if we don’t need it skip it, if a snack cost more than 45 cent, skip it. I will pay up to 90 cent for protein or good granola bars. Today I noticed that I have 4 bottles of Tide on the list as well as a huge container of Tide. I decided to figure out which was cheaper, turns out the bottles were by one cent an ounce so that is the one that will be delivered at the end of the month.
Last Saturday, I headed to Dollar General to pick up sodas on sale. I purchased 3 12 packs of Diet Coke and 2 12 packs of Dr. Pepper. I also picked up 6 boxes of water flavors. Total spent $27.22 total saved $23.25!
CVS is a hard store especially when some people count Extra Care Bucks as money and others as coupons. I use them as coupons! I had 2 ECB, a $4 off a purchase and $2 off a purchase. I was able to use all three and pay twenty seven cents for the following, travel size hair spray, travel size toothpaste, a new bath sponge and 2 carmel candies!
That is how you save money!
