I had more coupons for $.75 off Colgate Pro Clinical White toothpaste.

There is a deal at Walgreens right now

$6 for 2 of this toothpaste - a $4 RR (register reward/catalina that prints at register. Good on next purchase)

Making it $4 for 2.

Then I had two coupons for 75 cents off making the toothpaste 25 cents each. 

The RR does not take the discount off the purchase at the time so my OOP (out of pocket) expense was going to be $4.90.  I decided to throw a sucker in the mix 50 cents so that I could use a $5 RR from last week. That made my total OOP for this trip about $.50 including tax.

My sister-in-law Lydia was nice to do a Walgreens trip with me.  I was really nervous about trying to do couponing at a drug store because its pretty tricky.  Drug stores are where you're going to get the best deals though so I knew I needed to try it sometime.

I was able to score $60 worth of razors for just a few bucks.  There's something like 18-20 razors... I think that might be a lifetime supply for me :)  Free dental floss and free flossers. I'm not sure how much everything cost individually.

Overall I got $102.00 worth of product for only $15.00!  That is about 85% savings!!!  Lydia helped me calculate the numbers last night but I don't have the paper with me so these numbers are not 100% correct but they are only a couple of cents off.

Wow, way to go. That was great to be able to go with Lydia. Send me an email listing what you did...maybe I can go duplicate the deals?

Since you went private, I haven't been getting the updates of your blog, so I've been crying myself to sleep wondering why oh why you haven't blogged in so long! I was pleasantly surprised to see you have indeed blogged, and enjoyed catching up:) The end of this novel.

Family Couponing

I've been looking for Reach dental floss for a week and a half now... Walmart and Target have been stripped clean of the $.88 - $1.00 Reach brand floss.  And here's why, there are coupons for $1.00 off any Reach floss.  I would be making money at wally world if they weren't out of stock. I stopped by Smith's grocery store this morning to see if they had any cheap Reach products.  There were only 3 flosses left. They were $1.05 each, but with my Smith's membership card they were only $1 each.  I got all three for free but I still had to pay tax.

Three dental flosses for only $.20 !  Not super impressive compared to the deals my family has been getting...

See below!

My brother Bently had called me the night before and told me about some of the awesome couponing adventures he and his wife Bonnie have had. Here's what they got the other night:

• 31 Reach toothbrushes (they'll be donating a lot of these)
• 3 pks of lady products
• 1 drink mix 11 oz.
• 5 bags of dog food
• 4 Soleil razors

 Total for all this, only $7.49!!!

My sister-in-law Lydia had an awesome haul at Walgreens the other day. All the stuff in the picture below for $6.21 !!! Holy smokes! I don't know how these people do it!
