Coupon Queen :)

I realize I haven't mentioned my "other" blog yet.  I have another blog.  The more I post on my other blog, the more I feel this one is neglected and cheated on.  But, what can ya do!  I have a blog dedicated to the Dollar Stores, Family Dollar, Dollar General, and a couple highlights of the Dollar Tree and 99cent Store.  I post all the good deals you can find there, like this shopping trip.  I paid $.49 for all those items using printable coupons.  I don't have all the stores the big cities do for couponing, but I am surrounded by Dollar General and Family Dollar.  I figured why not start couponing there?  Turns out, they have some great deals.  I post a lot of the printable coupons, which is nice because there is far less organization required... and like in Lubbock, many areas don't get nearly the amount of coupons big cities do.   I realize not everyne coupons, and a lot of people say that they don't "buy the stuff there are coupons for."  Um... I have yet to meet a girl who doesn't use the products above.  If I didn't have coupons, all of this would have cost me about $12.  It's about shopping smarter, people!  Now I don't feel guilty about buying another swimsuit.  That, and now I have my year supply of these things.

This is how I got all that stuff:
I bought: 6 Packages of Kotex Natural Balance Pantiliners $1 each
1 Package of Carefree pantiliners $1 each
1 Package of StayFree pads on clearance $2 each (found in the clearance section)
2 Glade Warmers $1.25 each
Final Price $11.50+tax


I used the following Coupons (you can usually print 2 of each coupon by either hitting "back" or clicking on the link again):
$2 off a $10 Purchase coupon at Dollar General by texting "Save2" to DGTEXT (34898)
$2.00 off 2 packages of KOTEX Natural Balance Printable
$2.00 off when you buy any TWO packages KOTEX Natural Balance products
$1.25 off Glade PlugIns Scented Oil warmer
$1.00 off (1) STAYFREE product (in the top left corner type in zip code 77477 and look under personal care)
$0.50 off any CAREFREE product (top left corner use zip code 77477 and look under personal care)
Final Price: $.45+tax

So that's how I shop.  I went to Family Dollar and grabbed a few things as well... but you will have to go visit my coupon blog, DollarStoreDeals to see that one.
