I am new to his site and couponing. But, I am already hooked! I found your blog one week ago, today. I took you up on your $5 challenge and I think that I did pretty good considering that I am new. Here goes:
-Head & Shoulders on sale for $4.99
*Coupon for B1G1-regular price was $5.99. When this coupon was scanned it gave me $5.99 off the purchase.
***Total OOP was $4.25 *****Received $2 EB
-(2) Excedrin Migraine Gel tabs on sale for $1.99
*Used (2) $1.00 off coupons
-(2) Sobe Lifewater on sale for B1G1
*Used B1G1 coupon
***Used $2 EB from transaction above
****Total OOP was $0.11
So, I spent $4.36 and got two bottles of shampoo, two bottles of Sobe lifewater, and two bottles of Excedrin Migraine. How’d I do? Thanks and I enjoy yor blog. I have adopted your motto as my own and put a copy in my Bible. Thanks for the inspiration! Be Blessed! 🙂
