Now, this trip took hardly no effort whatsoever. We ran out of milk, and I was driving RIGHT by CVS, so I pulled in.
I always have my coupons with me. And my iPad. So I pulled up the CVS ad in my car, spent 30 seconds browsing through it, looked at my little coupon notebook and went inside.
This is what I brought home:
At full price, the items above would have cost $43.54.
After my store card and coupons, I paid $19.41. Over 50% savings!
All of these items were already on sale at CVS. That is the only way to coupon. I paired coupons with the already discounted items and got each item at 50% off (at least). One Tide and one shampoo will go to my mother-in-law, and the rest I will keep.
Seriously....this trip took maybe 5 minutes of looking through the ad and pulling out my coupons. AND it was CVS, which I usually avoid. They can be fussy about their coupons, but today everything went smoothly!
p.s. - I didn't forget my milk. It was on sale too!
