Back Into Couponing!

1 Reply

While I was super sick in the fall and early winter, I decided not to coupon.  I just didn’t have time or energy.  That’s what is nice about having a stockpile of necessities – we only had to buy one or two necessities during those months without coupons!

Now I’m back in action, rebuilding our stockpile before Baby Deuce arrives.  I know I won’t have time for couponing during her first few months!  I’ve just been back in action for a week, and I’ve already snagged a couple fantastic deals.

After accounting for my $5 gift card to use for a future purchase, Target actually paid me a few cents for these toothbrushes this week!

We also stocked up on Hubster’s deodorant and snagged four Old Spice brand deodorants for $1.75 each.

And…it’s always worth checking the baby clearance section, because I found these three pairs of Cherokee jeans for Baby Deuce to grow into for just $3 each!  That’s cheaper than I can buy them on consignment.  Woohoo!

Score FREE Desitin Diaper Cream at Target!

I am *so* excited to share this deal with you!  Right now, there is an unadvertised deal at Target on Desitin Diaper Cream…and an unadvertised sale.

The unadvertised deal is that you will get a $5 Target gift card when you purchase three Desitin Diaper Cream products, through 2/4.  The unadvertised sale is that the purple box of Desitin that says “20% more” is ringing up as $2.48.  You can score three boxes for free when you print three of these coupons and combine them with the sales: $1.00/1 – Desitin Diaper Rash product, Any (excludes 1 oz.) – (smartsource.com) .  You may need to use two computers in order to print three of these, but I was able to do it with one computer.

At Target, you will need to find the purple boxes of Desitin that say “20% more.”  I found them on an endcap in the baby department with the Johnson’s Baby products that were on sale.  Grab three boxes and find a price check scanner to make sure that they ring up as $2.48 each.  You’ll end up paying $4.44 and you’ll receive that $5 Target gift card for future use, resulting in three boxes of FREE Desitin!!!

Enjoy!

Did you find any fabulous deals this week?

I got $40-worth of stuff for $0.66 at CVS!

This was my first week of 98% savings and I am SO excited!

The original price of the merchandise was $40.03, minus the sale prices from my CVS card, a few manufacturer coupons, and some ExtraBucks that I had earned last week…and I only paid $0.66 out of pocket and even walked out with $8.79 in ExtraBucks that I can use in the next few weeks.  :)

Here are the major deals that I found there this week:

  • RepHresh Brilliant tampons, on sale for $5.79.  Click here for a $1.00 manufacturer coupon.  CVS is offering $5.79 in ExtraBucks with your CVS ExtraCare card.  Final price: $1.00 MONEYMAKER.
  • 2 Dove Men + Care Deodorants, on sale for $3.50 each
    2 Dove Men + Care Body Washes, on sale for $5.00 each
    Buy One, Get One Free coupon for Men+Care Body Wash and a $2.00/1 Dove Men+Care Deodorant from Red Plum insert of this Sunday’s newspaper.  If you purchase two papers, you can use two of the deodorant coupons.  Pay $8.00, receive $5.00 in ExtraBucks.  Final price: $0.75 each.
  • 1L SmartWater, on sale for 5/$5.  Receive $2 in ExtraBucks.  Final price: 5/$3.

Then I used $16.99 in ExtraBucks that I had earned last week.  It.was.awesome.

I’m not sure if I can ever get to the point where I’m saving 98+% at other stores, but I did get some awesome deals at Target as well.  Old Spice deodorant and body wash is on sale and I had a B1G1 coupon.  Playtex tampons are on sale, I had a $1.50/2 coupon and you’re supposed to get a $5 Target gift card with the purchase of two (I got home to realize that the gift card wasn’t triggered at checkout for me.  Bummer.).

Basically, Hubster is stocked up on deodorant and body wash for quite some time and I have a ginormous supply of tampons.  But it’s stuff that we will use – I never plan to stock up on things that we won’t use!  For those of you that would like to become a Coupon Ninja, one of my favorite new sites is The Krazy Coupon Lady.  There’s some fabulous information on there and they do all the work for you.  (This week, I found most of these CVS sales on my own before checking their site, so I was pretty proud! haha).

The Krazy Coupon Lady

One of Hubster’s coworkers let me in on a fabulous website that is quickly becoming one of my favs: The Krazy Coupon Lady.  She lets readers in on all the awesome deals at numerous different stores each week.  Basically, she does all of the work for you!

I found her Target diaper deal and just purchased 3 jumbo packs of Pampers Cruisers, on sale for $8.99, for about $5.82 per pack!  I am so pumped!  Three packs triggered a $5 Target gift card and I also had a $1.50 off coupon for each pack of diapers.

The link to the Huggies coupon that is listed on that page was no longer working when I tried, so the Pampers were the next-best deal.

The Krazy Coupon Lady is definitely one of my go-to sites now.  I’m on my way to becoming an extreme couponer!  (For stuff we’ll actually use, that is.)

Target Baby Sale

Attention moms!  Target is having an awesome baby sale through Saturday!  We stocked up on some diapers and wipes and got $10 in Target gift cards.  I love great deals.

I noticed that they have car seats, formula, cups, plates, bowls, sippy cups, bottles and more also on sale.  I also purchased some Up & Up baby shampoo and soap.  I was SO excited.

Happy shopping!
