Ooops! Almost forgot to post the winners of this last week's Super Savings Stories!! It was a slow entry though:( Hopefully you all will come back and post your deals soon!!
And the winner is Lisa @ Cents to Save!!!
She writes about how buying coupons online help her to save Money:
In an effort to reduce my grocery budget, I will shop online at EBay and purchase coupons, I also use The Coupon Masters ite frequently to purchase coupons. EBay does provide a wider variety but I am very happy with The Coupon Master.
For me, I find it very advantageous to keep abreast of the upcoming sales through A Full Cup or Money Saving Mom. When I see an item or items that I need to stock up on, I will search EBay and The Coupon Master
For instance, last week Walgreen’s had the Gillette Saving gel on sale for 2.00 dollars. When you purchased 20 dollars worth of Gillette products you will get 5.00 dollars in Register Rewards! The Easy Saver Book had a coupon for 1.00 dollar savings. I was able to find 1.00 coupons of the women’s shave gel at The Coupon Master !and I purchase 10 coupons for about 7 cents each.
I ordered my coupons on Wednesday, (a little late, was not sure that I would get them on time) but the coupons arrived on Saturday and I was able to get to Walgreen’s and I found 9 of the ladies shave gel and 1 on the men’s shave gel. So I had my 20.00 dollars worth of Gillette products, and after the Easy Saver Coupons and the manufacturer coupons the total cost was Zippo!! (Tax was about 1.80 put on a gift card) A very sweet deal! So I have 30.00 worth of product (regular price) for the cost of tax.
Now, I also purchased the 1.00 coupons for Bounty Paper Towels and Charmin Toilet Paper. I went to 2 CSV’s on Saturday ( last day of sale) and there was not a roll of anything to be found. Not to worry… I got a rain check and will be able to stock up at a later date.
Other coupons I bought from The Coupon Master were 1.50 off of Nature Made Vitamins. My second deal at Walgreen’s was using the 5.00 Register Reward from the Gillette Deal and the 1.50 off Coupons for Nature Made Vitamins. At Walgreen’s last week Nature Made vitamins were BOGO. I bought 2 bottles fish oil capsule at 9.99 each. They rang up 2/9.99. I used the 5.00 Register Reward and then the 2 coupons for 1.50 dollars. My final cost was 1.99! Another great deal!!! I still have a few of the coupons left so I am hoping that CVS will have a BOGO on Nature Made in the very near future.
It really works for me and in my efforts to build my stockpile and more importantly SAVE MONEY!!
Lisa send me your email so I can get your goodies to you:) Award button is still in the making!!
Please note that Super Savings Stories will resume next week!!
