COUPONS!!!

Ok so recently our family (and Spencer's mom, some of his sisters and his brother) have started using coupons to save us some money. I went to purchase Kendra's school supplies and some other things and ended up saving 50% on my total purchase, literally!

Well in Walgreen's July Easy Saver Coupon book they had a coupon for $5 off 2 packages of Walgreen's brand diapers (which were on sale for $5.99), they also had a deal if you bought 3 of a certain item they you'd get a $5 off your next purchase Register Reward....well August had the same $5 off coupon and the dates overlapped...and I had a coupon book from the pharmacy that had $2 off their diapers.

To try it out I purchased 3 packages of Walgreen's diapers along with some other purchases and I got my $5 off coupon. Well I asked if she minded if I went to grab 3 more and she didn't have a problem with that at all. I grabbed 3 more and she scanned my coupons, but forgot to scan the pharmacy one which was an additional $6 off, but my total was -$0.86 so I bought something else and had to pay a couple cents extra.

Anyway this evening I went back to purchase more diapers and some pull ups for Kaylie for night time and I scored even bigger. I ended up getting 9 more packs of diapers, 3 packs of pull ups and did it in 4 separate transactions using it correctly adding a box of wipes each time to make so that I didn't have to get a refund back and got a good deal on Huggies wipes, cause that is the only type of wipes I use.

Long story a little shorter, I ended the day with 15 packs of diapers, 3 packs of pull ups, 4 boxes of wipes and only spent less than $4 in all my purchases on baby items. That is a freakin' deal if I have ever heard one. And on top of that I now have 4 $5 off coupons to use on a later purchase, but before Aug. 8.

The total I spend on things at Walgreens today (I bought things other than diapers and wipes...LOL) was $23.89 and the total I saved in coupons and sales was $171.40!!! You do the math, but I got a few things for free today!!!

Now not all Walgreen's will take more than 1 coupon for an item and something else, but it worked for me, my sister in law and mother in law at several different Walgreen's. The last Walgreen's I went to though didn't want me to use more than 1 coupon at a time, so I left and didn't purchase from them. The one place that worked though, the lady told me to come back tomorrow after noon when they had already recieved a shipment and I could get some more :)

Here is a lovely pic of my husbands closet where I will be storing the diapers and wipes :) I also have about 280 diapers under our armoir that I bought at Target on clearance! My sister in law and I will either be trading sizes or I have to go back to Walgreens and exchange after the baby is born. Let's just hope these are good diapers :) I am going to test one on Brody when he's here next week....we'll see!
