I hear all the time from people that they don't have time to do coupons. Yes, you do. Just a few minutes at home to organize your list and coupons, and then a few minutes in the store can really save you money on things that you would be buying anyway.
Yesterday I had a great ten-minute trip to CVS:
- two Crest B toothpaste (raincheck from last week when they ran out)
- $5.69 each
- on sale (raincheck) for $4.99
- - $1 printable coupon on one
- - $1 newspaper coupon on the other
- - $2 coupon machine coupon off an $8 toothpaste purchase
- and received $4 back in ECB on each one
- = better than free
- one Dawn dish soap
- on sale for $.99
- - $.25 newspaper coupon
- = $.74 total
- two Cadbury eggs (my very favorite treat)
- on sale, buy one get one free
- =$.99 total for two
- I had $1 in ECB to use
Grand total= $7.27 paid out of pocket, and I walked out with $8 in ECBs to spend next time. I like to think of it as CVS paying me $.73 cents to take those things home. THAT is my kind of shopping! :)
