since i’m all about making confessions this week, i thought i’d enlighten you all with one more. my motto has always been “i’d rather spend my time working than couponing, in a sense i’d rather find ways to make money than save money” and up until we moved here to colorado that was possible. i had an awesome job where i was able to work full-time and still be a mom full-time. it was literally win win. sweetest deal ever!
upon moving to colorado though our circumstances changed slightly. i do still work (if you can call taking my son for a play date twice a week and getting paid for it work!) but it is no where near full-time which means our budget has had to change quite bit & as we all know now, i’m kind of a fan of my shopping! so i’ve been seeking ways to trim the budget and still make room for the fun things.
i must admit because of this i am now eating my words about this whole “coupon thing”. holy cow! these girls know what they are doing and it’s genius! i’ve been a follower of a site called freebies2deals for a while now but have always ignored the grocery deals or anything that required any effort beyond entering a coupon code in my online shopping cart.
that is i’ve ignored them until last week and this week. last week i decided to print out melea’s “best deals of the week” for walgreen’s and decided to give coupons a fairly serious go. i made a few purchases last week and kind of got an understanding of the system at walgreen’s. i guess you could say i got my feet wet and actually thought i was doing pretty good. then this week i went for it and dove right in & realized i was so only scratching the surface the week before.
this week i decided to go all out and give myself a little challenge.
here was the challenge:
after last week’s purchases i ended up with with the following in coupons from walgreen’s:
1 – $15 stock up jingle cash coupon
2 – $ 5 stock up jingle cash coupons
1 – $ 5 rapid rewards manufacturers coupon
so my challenge was, how much can i purchase from walgreen’s using the above coupons and as little as possible of the $6 in cash that i had in my wallet. i took no cards or checks with me into the store, only the $6 in cash and some coins from my car.
are you ready for it? da da da don……
