I realized something today that I should have known ages ago ... the Commissary is a great place to get coupons! There are always tons of carts strewn with coupons or coupon books. I have never really paid that much attention to them before - and I don't know why not!!
As I was walking in there today a lady asked me if I'd like a coupon book. I took it and glanced through it - all Proctor and Gamble coupons that are suppose to be in tomorrows paper. (Yes, it's sad ... I know what tomorrows coupons are suppose to be ...) These coupons, lined up with deals going on at CVS this week would make for some sweet shopping.
I wasn't about to take any more than the one coupon book given to me (despite how badly I wanted to!), however when I went out to the parking lot there were several carts within a few feet of my car holding these precious coupons :) So figuring they were someone elses garbage, and not wanting them to go to waste I picked up four more coupon books. And I am so glad I did :)
When Paul got home from work (and from getting our new freezer!!! yay!) I made a quick run to CVS - I have a bunch of deals worked out to do but the monthly deals don't start until tomorrow, which means I have to take Judah with me since Paul works all day :) But I did have one deal that just involved the weekly sales, which at my store start after 6pm.
Here's what I got:
Razor - $10 (I bought the bonus pack, which works for the ECB!)
Dawn Dish Soap - $1 x 4
Johnson's Buddies Soap - $1
With tax my total was somewhere around $16.
After coupons and paying with $4 ECB my total was .42 cents :)
And I then received $6 ECB back.

I may be blonde, but what is the Commissary?
OK, this week I am going to CVS and I'm going to try doing this. I think I'm understanding it and I'm going to see what I can do :)
