This last shopping two shopping trips would have cost us about $400, but we only spent $150!! Here's what we got:
I can't remember exactly what we got, but we got 4 liquid laundry soaps, 3 sets of conditioner/shampoo, 6 bottles of lotion, 2 body soaps, 8 quart zip lock bags, 4 things of napkins, 1 set of plates, gum, tic tags, 12 boxes of cereal, 16 cans of pringles, etc. All of these things are going to be used fast, or they'll keep until we need them.
My girlfriend knows what she wants, and only buys stuff that we can use, and if she knows it will expire before we buy it, then we don't buy it, but if it won't, like the laundry soap, we buy it.
The best deals are at Rite Aid and Walgreens, and although that usually means that we aren't going to get fresh food, but we can get stuff like this, which is where all of this stuff came from. The reason why the best deals come from here, to my understanding, is because these two places usually have awesome sales going on like buy one get one free or get the 2nd half off, then you add a manufacture coupon to it and the prices goes really down!! We also stop at Walmart and Safeway too, but this weekend's trip didn't include them.
It's absolutely wonderful, everything we shopped for yesterday we got 50-70% off for our entire purchase.
This is a huge majority of our stash right now, besides some that we left to be easier to get to:
We're working on filling that entire thing up! I can't wait!
I'm definitely grateful for the hard work my girlfriend puts into couponing so that we can save money and go on our summer trips that we have planned, or be able to spend the money on other food that we can't get a sale on, or even that nice big shelf in the picture above! We finally had to buy that this weekend because the closet and pantry were just overloaded with stuff!
