My BFF & I were aware of some deals & possible freebies at Bi-Lo and Walmart this week so we decided to check it out yesterday. My coupons are almost completely sorted & in their dividers so I was able to take in my coupon binder. It was kinda weird getting so many stares and comments about it. We even encountered fellow couponers while at Walmart. One couple seemed to follow us around the soaps & razors. haha They had the same coupons we did.
Store #1 - Bi-Lo
My friend told me about Kemp's frozen yogurt being on sale & we had a $1 off coupon. Bi-Lo was also doing a 5 for $5 sale but they didn't seem to have as many items on that list like Kroger usually does. We looked over the ad and didn't see anything that we had coupons for. That was kind of a bummer. We were told Brawny paper towels would be $.50, but of course they were out. I then remembered I had a $.50 off Sparkle paper towel coupon that Bi-Lo would double, making the paper towels free. We then head over to the frozen section to find the yogurt. It was Buy One Get One Free and with Bi-Lo's policy, you don't have to buy 2 in order to get the deal. I didn't need 2 cartons of ice cream so I only bought one.
This is my smallest haul, but still very proud. :) Retails at $6.69, I paid $1.88. Almost 72% savings!
Sparkle - retail: $1.00 - paid: free
Kemps - retail: $5.69 - paid: $1.84
Store #2 - Walmart
We were mainly headed there in hopes of using our $6 off 3 Gillette items coupon to be able to get shaving cream for free. But of course, they were out. Neither my husband nor I use shaving cream so no major loss there. Luckily, since I had my newly finished binder with me, I started flipping through my Health & Beauty section to see if I had any other goodies I could get. Some of my coupons are expiring soon (8/17/13, 8/25/13 and 8/31/13) so I was hoping to use some if they were a good enough deal. The hubby needed more razors for personal use and some to keep at the motorpool for weekends when his reserve soldiers forget to shave. So we picked up female disposables for them. I figure if you're going to forget to shave, you deserve to shave with shame. haha I was also aware of a Bounty sale and luckily they had plenty in stock. We bought other items at Walmart that we needed but didn't necessarily have coupons for, like milk, yogurt, and cat litter. These are just my coupon items. (Although I did save $2 off of the cat litter & my yogurt is always $1/each. Nothing major.)
Retails at $42.61, I paid $19.21 before tax. That's 55% savings! Not the best but still proud. :)
