Couponing: Second Month



Good Morning!! I am finally on my second month of couponing. I am starting to think that most of my major deals happen during the first week of every month. I haven't really couponed the last few weeks since I haven't seen any great deals. But I woke up at 7AM on my day off to get started before the rush of people hit the stores.

My first stop this morning was at Walmart. They didn't have all the deals I wanted, and I apparently had printed off fake coupons as well. Walmart has been experiencing a lot of fraudulent couponing lately so they are making it a little more difficult to coupon. I happened to lose my receipt for this, but I can give you a pretty close amount. 


Lady Speed Stick - $1.98 - Free after Mail in Rebate = $0.00
Rimmel Nail polish - $1.50 on sale - $1/1 = $0.50
Clearasil - $3.49 - $1/1 = $2.49
Total cost = $2.99
Before coupons:  $6.97 Savings: $3.98

My next two stops I went to Walgreens. The first one I went to didn't have 2 products I was looking for, so I went to another store.
My first Walgreens:



TRESemme Hair Spray - Buy one at $4.99 get the other 50% off - $7.48 for two.
I used (2) $2 off 1 TRESemme product, totalling -3.48
Clear Care Contact Lens Cleaner - Reg. $10.99, on sale for $8.99
I used a Walgreens $2/1 and a MF $1.50/1 Totalling - $5.49
(I got $2/1 Clear care contact at check out. so I can do this purchase again for $4.49.. that's $7 cheaper for 2 than I'd normally pay at walmart)
Bubble Knee High stockings - Reg. 2/$1 - Walgreens Coupon 3/$1 - $0.33 each
Total cost = $9.71
