I'm inspired by a friend of mine to try my hand at couponing. I've run into a few deals thus far and wanted to share those. Plus, I want to document what I've found so I can go back and revisit sites to see if new deals are available!
The first thing I did was actually to set up a second Gmail account, OLDACCT.shop@gmail.com, so that I can consolidate all those emails into one inbox. I even started auto-filtering them by store or brand.
Free Samples:
The most interesting to me right off the bat are the free samples. I had no idea that so many LEGITIMATE websites were available for free samples.
- Uncle Ben's Rice
- Dove Damage Therapy Daily Conditioner
- Orville Redenbacher's Pop-Up Bowl
- Fiber Choice
- CareFree BodyShapers panty liners
- Playtex Sport
- Purex
Couponing:
And this week I started tracking some of the deals at my local grocery and drug stores. Not too many interesting things I can take advantage of that would store well, but I did run into a few items worth pursuing!
- GIANT:
- $1 Doubler Coupons in the paper this week will double $1 coupons, when usually the store only doubles up to $0.99 coupons!
- Don't forget they discount your bill $0.05 per reusable bag you bring
- SAFEWAY:
- Chobani is 10 for $10 (3/30-4/5), and if you search the Chobani websites coupon section, you'll find $0.50 coupons, which when doubled = $1.00 off ---> $1 - $1 = FREE
- CVS:
- Colgate Max Toothpaste or Toothbrush $2.99 + $2.00 ExtraBucks --> $2.99 (unless you can find a coupon)
- Skintamates Shave Gel is $3.49 and you get $2.50 in ExtraBucks --> $3.49 - $2.00 ExtraBucks from Colgate = $1.49
- Stove Top is $0.77 / box (3/27-4/2) and you can find a coupon for $0.50 off / box ---> 11 Boxes x $0.77 - $0.50 = $0.22 / box = $2.42 - $2.50 = FREE
