Summer is here, and now, I can get back to one of my favorite
things: couponing. I love couponing. It saves me money, and I get to purchase
the products I need for a low price.
Well, I went on a couponing mission on Saturday at our local
Dollar General store. I used my $5.00 off of $25.00. I also uploaded the store
coupons on the website. And, I used coupons from my local newspaper. I spent $57.00 on items that should have cost
me about $80.00. I had a savings of 22%. This was awesome, but in all honesty,
I wanted to have a savings of about 50%. Well, I didn’t make it on this
particular trip, but when I looked at my saving for the last 30 days (on the
store website), I had an overall savings of 88%. Can you say, “Awesome!”?
To add icing to the cake, on my store receipt, I got another
opportunity to save more money. They offered a coupon for $3.00 off of $15.00
for completing a survey about the store. I did the survey and got the coupon.
When I did couponing more regularly, I always put about $20.00
back and purchased one particular item. My goal for the month of July is to
store up on my favorite toothpaste. So, I will be actively looking for
toothpaste coupons. I had 5 years’ worth of toothpaste. I am just now running
out, and I want to store back up. I also have plans to load up on laundry
detergent and shower gel.
