Couponing while on Bed Rest!

I'm on bed rest, so what do I do while I'm sitting? Look for coupon deals, of course!!

Rite Aid

I bought 4 packs of laundry 3 in 1 sheets. Usually they are $7.99 each. Regular price, I would have paid $32 plus tax. With coupons, I spent $12!

Walgreens

I should have spent $17.96. With coupons I spent $7. They actually didn't take one of my coupons, and I really think they should have, so I'm going back tomorrow to talk to the manager and see if she will take my coupon. If so, I'll get $2-3 back, making my final cost $4-5.

Albertson's

This one is my favorite! I should have spent $22 full price. With coupons and mail in rebates, I spent $6!

Target

Regular prices: $13. With coupons: $5.50!

Our refrigerator is full, our cabinets are bursting, and Joe is concerned about the storage closet becoming the toilet paper closet. But all in all, I spent LESS than I do at the grocery store weekly and got MORE products. This couponing thing is working!
