Adventures in Couponing.
Posted by Michelle on May 4th, 2014 . Filed under: Couponing .It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve done one of my Sunday save posts. I AM still couponing. Just not as much as I used to. I slowed down when things got crazy here with a lot of family drama goin’ on, and then I had/have some health issues goin’ on too. And here recently my husband and I embarked on Whole30. So that has really changed the way we shop and eat. I am blogging every Monday during my Whole 30 over at Lemon Rain Drop if you’re interested.
But it is hard to resist a deal. Like these La Brea Bakery baguettes (for the littles). They were on sale for $1.99 at Albertons and there was a $2 coupon on Facebook, so these were free.
Crystal Light is $2.19 a box, but 99-cents a box if you buy 10. I bought 10, used coupons and got them down to 50-cents a box and am giving them to my mom for Mother’s Day.
There was a $4 Almay coupon in the newspaper recently. These items were buy 1 get one 1/2 price. With the sale and coupons these should have been free at Walgreens but they gave me overage which was about $4 which I used to buy some treats for a birthday gift.
Starting today, these deodorants are on sale BOGO, paired with coupons makes them 40-cents each. I have plenty of deodorants in my stockpile, but my nephews are going to help us with some painting and I thought I’d give them a care package as thanks. The toothpastes are on sale $3.99, pair with a $1.50 coupon and get $2.50 back making them free. I will buy ANYTHING if it’s free.
Walgreens also had Easter clearance. Paper sacks were 6-cents each, and pencils & erasers were 24-cents a pack. I thought instead of sending treats for the church class parties next year, I’ll send these. And a random shirt for my daughter for $1.49.
But you can’t beat Target on holiday clearance. 90%-off. Now that my nephews have moved here, I need more baskets for next year – 15-cents each.
The shiny Easter grass was 20-cents. I’m actually putting that in our New Year’s box – I think it’ll be fun to throw that around outside when we’re going crazy at midnight. 20-cents a bag for those and only 5-cents a bag for the pastel ones.
Big tissue eggs to decorate with were 60-cents each, themed eggs were 25-cents, and the plain eggs were 10-cents.
I’ll catch you here tomorrow for a whole week of Mother’s Day cards!

Wow so much awesomness! I am especially in awe of the crystal light deal. Crazy good steal there.
