On Monday I go shopping to Rite Aid and Walgreens. I check a few key blogs, look at my coupons, fill my purse with crackers and cookies (hey, it's for Austin) and head out the door ready to get some good deals. I arrive and go at it. Yes, the sales people know me, and Austin. They probably refer to me as the "coupon girl." But, mind you, there are many of us out there. So this particular day I went to Walgreens and spent $9.20 and I got back $10. So thank you Walgreens for paying me to shop at your store.
I continued on, this time with a smile on my face, to Rite Aid. I had a scenario in my mind and hoped it would work. I have coupons, and Rite Aid coupons, and Video coupons. My total before all these coupons was $45..something. Then the magic happened...it kept going down until I reached the total of $14.13. Wahoo! Oh, but that's not the best part of it. I got $7 back in "up" money (basically free money to buy whatever at Rite Aid) oh and I get to submit about $6 or more in rebates, which I will get back as a check, pure money. Do you see the grand total?? Yes, I paid about $1 for all that you see below!!
These are expensive items (yes that's a full pack of diapers), so to get them free is AWESOME!! They are things that we use regularly. The picture below has the Walgreens items as well as the Rite Aid. So with that $1 back, I got all this for free :)
Go ahead...say it...I'm pretty cool huh! If you want to know my secrets, let me know, I'm happy to share.

You ARE cool! I already thought you were, but now this just proves it! :)
It doesn't get any better than tampons & butt paste! Love the pic & I'll be calling you!
Yes I would like to know how you do it! I'm not good at all with coupons--it totally mystifies me!
Lisa you are amazing. We need to plan a day of you showing me how to coupon well! Seriously, I need some help in that department. Great work!
Please do share your secrets! I am horrible at this stuff.
