Savings of a Coupon Junkie

Great Deals @ Wal-mart & Walgreens

2008-10-13T23:27:00.003-05:00

At Wal-mart they have Fusion Razor Gift Sets, they come with full sized body wash, shampoo, a razor, and a few other items for just $5! A few weeks ago there was a $4 off any Fusion Razor coupon in the Sunday Paper. Use it with this deal & get a ton of full sized items for just a $1! I haven't done it yet, but I need to head to Wal-mart & see if they have any left, hopefully so!

Walgreens has Robittusin/Dimetapp on sale for $3.99 this week, there are printables (HERE) for $2 off Dimetapp, purchase 3 of them = $11.97 - $6 in coupons = $5.97 PLUS you get $5 in Register Rewards when you buy 3 Dimetapp Products. So .97 for 3 bottles of cough syrup.

Also at Walgreens, Bonnebell products are 40% off, that makes the Lip Smackers around .90 each, there is a $1 off 2 printable (HERE), making them around .40 each!! Great for stocking stuffers!

Swagbucks.

Okay, so I LOVE this site, no lies.
It's called Swag Bucks. Basically it's a search engine. Powered by
Google & Ask.com, you sign up, then search for whatever you need to
search for. Randomly [once a day] you get Swag Bucks, from 1-3.

I think you can get more than that too, it's just REALLY rare.

Anyways,
I've been on it for about a month & already have 33 Swagbucks.

It only takes 45 bucks to trade it in for a Amazon $5 giftcard.

25 for some CDs, then it goes to 100-3900 bucks.
Those are high dollar prizes, like iPods, radios, tvs,

video games, guitars. Awesome for
birthdays or christmas presents, if you can get

that much in that short amount of time.

When I first get on the computer, it's my homepage, so I type in a few words, then repeat for about 5mins, if I dont win [which i normally always do] then I'll do other stuff, coming back to the site randomly & finally winning! :)

Please sign up on the link below, because then you'll be in my friend group, meaning
whatever bucks you earn, they match it for me. then you can have your friends sign up under you, etc etc. You'll get bucks building up quickly!

I am so thankful to God for allowing me to be able to save as much money as I have. He has helped me out graciously in all aspects of my life. I have a great family, friends and wonderful little boy.

Last month I saved around $450!

I don't know how much I spent OOP, I didn't think to keep track of that.
Yet starting this month, my goal is to keep track of it all. Including how much
money I saved in coupons.

Here's a picture from one of my trips last month, $130.xx worth of stuff for $25.xx! [I got it all from Walgreens, Target & Wal-mart]

1st Post!

I've been couponing for 2 months. I've already saved well over $600!

For all of you who don't coupon yet, you should start. There's no reason that

everyone in the world should not coupon. If you're already buying the product, you

might as well save money buying it. Paying FULL PRICE for things? That's my biggest

pet peeve already! I love saving money too much to pay full price. Now if it's

something my family can't live without, that's different, yet when it's something

that has 10 coupons avaliable. It's a given that I'm going to be using those coupons.
