Bargain shopping is fun to do

I decided it was very fun to put my deals down in writing. So I thought I’d share the deal I scored at Rite Aid today. I just simplified everything as much as possible to create a very condensed version but if you are at all interested in knowing the exact way I did this (or pretty close to exact, I had a few better coupons) you can go to hip2save.com and find the Rite Aid deals post for this week.

6 Packs of Trident $6
1 Pampers Big pack (76 ct. size 3) $19.99
2 Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner $7
2 Oral B 3D White Toothbrushes $6
1 Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons 18 Ct. $4
2 Covergirl lipglosses $9
Subtotal: 51.99

Deduct $20.24 in coupons (I didn’t include the up+ rewards I earned from a previous transaction, which took off another $7, because I like to deduct them off the original transaction on which I earned them)
Deduct $23 in up+ rewards

Total Expense: $8.75, a great deal for just the diapers alone! Plus, the Pantene and Covergirl purchases I made today fulfilled my requirement to spend $30 on certain products to get a $10 rebate check! The toothbrushes I purchased leave me short $1.37 on a rebate for a $10 Rite Aid gift card when you spend $25 on oral care products, which I still have 2 weeks to fulfill so you better believe I will. (I used a riteaid gift card I earned previously to help pay for today’s trip). Once you start the “bargaining ball” rolling, it never stops!

Okay, really? I mean, REALLY??

I was a couponer for a while and really did get some good deals too but I felt like Rite Aid and Walgreen's were so complicated! (I mean, I am a college graduate and all and I don't think I'm a dummy but I'm just not sure I'm smart enough to make it work! That just sounds so complex!!)

So really though, will you email me (utahmichelle@gmail.com) how many newspapers you get and what your whole testimony is on how many sets of coupons you need? I think I want to start it up again but I'm trying to decide how many to do. Oh - and also how much do you use the paper and how much do you print coupons online?

Okay, the end of the world's longest comment.
