Coupon Mom is Going to Kill Me

Filed under: coupons — zeldahoffenheimer @ 10:13 pm

Literally.   Because as I was going to my car after returning the cart to the store ,(always on the lookout for the coupon police who might be lurking in the parking lot to tell me that it was all a big mistake and I must give back my free stuff) I was so distracted that I almost failed to so the SUV coming right at me.  Fortunately, I stopped and yielded, and the story has a happy ending.

Look at this stuff and see if you can figure out how much I paid.  Let me tell you what it is worth first:

South Beach bars 3 @ $2.50 (sale price)

Progresso Soup     4  @ $2.19

Water                         1   @ $4.50

Milk                             1   @ 2.99  (sale price)

Benefiber                   2   @ $5.00 (sale price)

This adds up to $33.75.  What did I pay?  (After coupons, rebates etc.) Ummm, NOTHING!!!    Thanks Walgreens and thanks couponmom.com!!!  This was hard work and took some planning, but it was well worth the effort.

Can you guess the OOP (that’s “out of pocket” for those in the know) for these items at CVS?  Would you believe $4.11?  I had Tom with me for proof.  He left the store a believer too.  I am still waiting for the coupon police to nab me in the parking lot and tell me there has been a big mistake.
