Coupon crazy!

So since I barely work nowadays, I've been pinching pennies and that slowly led to my obsession with coupons lol. My hunnie makes fun of me because I can spend hours in search for good coupons/deals online. But every little bit counts nowadays and coupons are practically free money. Here's how I did a recent shopping haul at Walgreens and Rite Aid and spent less than $20.


- WALGREENS -

Transaction #1
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. (Regular Price varies from $9.49-10.99)
(On sale for 40% at my Walgreens for 5.87).
$2/1 Maybelline New York Dream Foundations - (bricks.coupons.com)
$4 RR coupon from my list visit
3M Scotch Transparent Tape (Regular Price $1.69) - Used as a "filler"
Walgreens in store coupon for 1 at $0.39
= Original total was $6.70 after tax.
= I paid only $0.90 after coupons and RR

Transaction #2
Gum Eez-Thru Angle Flossers
*On sale this week for $2*
= I paid $2.14 but a register rewards of $2 will print with this purchase so it's like I only paid $0.14

Transaction #3
BIC Soleil 3pk Womens Disposable Razors (Regular Price $6.99)
*On sale this week for $5.99*
$2 RR from transaction #2
$3/1 BIC Soleil Bella Razor 3pk, any - (facebook.com)
Hershey's Take5 Candy Bar (Regular price $0.89) - Used as a filler.
*Deal of the week at Walgreens for $0.49*
= Original total was $6.90 after tax
= I paid $1.90 after coupons and RR but another RR of $2 will print out with BIC razor purchase so technically I earned $0.10 with this purchase

Transaction #4

*On sale for Buy 1 Get 1 free this week at Walgreens*
(2) $0.50 Any Lady Speed Stick or Mens Speed Stick item (coupons flyer 5/1)

= Original total was $4.22
= I paid $1.22 after coupons and RR.

Transaction #5
Tylenol Precise Pain Relief Cream/Heat Patch (Regular price of $8.49) - I bought 2 of these
(2) $3/1 Walgreens Instant Value Coupon
(2) $5/1 Tylenol Precise Pain Relief Product (precisepainrelief.com)
= Original total was $10.98 after IVCs
= I paid $0.98 after manufacture coupons!

Transaction #6
Off Clip-on Starter Compact (Regular price $9.99) - I bought 2 of these
(2) $1/1 Walgreens IVC
B1G1 Manufacture coupon (off.com)
= Original total was $19.38 after IVCs
= I paid $10.39 after B1G1 manufacture coupons

Yes, it's crazy to do 6 different transactions but thankfully everytime I go to Walgreens the two most sweetest ladies are there and very patient when ringing me up. They understand that I'm saving money, and they're willing to help me because they had said how nice I am to them as well. As long as you use legit coupons from websites such as (coupons.com, smartsource.com, or redplum.com) and you're not photocopying them, it's fine. The store doesn't lose out on money either because the manufacture refunds them the coupons that they send in. Just in case you didn't know that yet =)

I walked out with all that stuff for a mere total of  $17.33. I saved a nice $37.99 with these purchases Not bad, I say, not bad at all =)

- RITE AID -

Breathe Right Nasal Strips (Regular Price $5.99)
Free Breathe Right Nasal Strips 10ct (up to value of $5.99) - (Rite Aid only coupon)
Duck General Purpose Strapping Tape (Regular Price $3.99)
*On clearance at my Rite Aid for 75% off*
= Original total of $7.47
= I paid $1.06 after Rite Aid coupon

Zoya Earth Day Nail Polish Exchange

I just bought 10 bottles of Zoya nail polish for $40 (original total $80) and that's including the shipping. Awesome deal! (: If you think that's a crazy amount to spend on nail polish.. you haven't tried Zoya. The quality is by far the best I've come across and lasts at least a week before chipping. Now's the time to try it. Learn about the earth day nail polish exchange by clicking here!

Did some damage..

Since I can't afford an LV right now.. this will have to do for my spring/summer bag. And I absolutely love it ;] The picture does not do it justice.
