This week was easy peasy shopping week for me – which is always a bonus! There wasn’t a ton that I was interested in, but I think I’m developing a detergent problem. I honestly think that I still have 18 bags/bottles of detergent (possibly more than the tubes of toothpaste in my stockpile!), but $.57 per bottle I couldn’t argue with!! Okay, not only couldn’t I argue, but I had to buy. I do a LOT of laundry each week and I’m always concerned that I’ll never see another great deal. Yes, after eight years of avid couponing you’d think I would know better, but clearly I don’t! Here’s what I did:
Walgreens
Transaction #1
1 Crystal Light Liquid $3 (Used $1 Crystal Light Drink Mix printable or $1 Crystal Light Liquid Drink Mix printable)
Also used 2,000 points from previous weeks
Paid $0 plus tax, Got $3 RR

Transaction #2
1 Crystal Light Liquid $3 (Used $1 Crystal Light Drink Mix printable or $1 Crystal Light Liquid Drink Mix printable)

CVS
6 All Detergent 2/$6 (Used 3 $2/2 All from 8/3 RP or $1 All Detergent coupon)
1 Sparkle Paper Towels 8 pk $5 (Used $1 Sparkle Paper Towels coupon)
2 Purex Detergent 2/$6 (Used 2 $1 Purex from 8/3 RP)

Also used $16 in ECB from previous weeks

Final Price: $6.25
After all was said and done, I spent a total of $4.25 for everything! That is an AMAZING price considering there are 8 detergent and an 8 pk of paper towels! I’m very happy and my detergent stockpile won’t go bare anytime soon! I hope this gives you some ideas! Happy shopping!
