After printing all those coupons yesterday, I needed ink. I have a new printer and haven't found any great deals on ink yet. Anyone have any ideas? I will probably take to Walgreen's in the future to get them filled.I am going to show my deals and take the ink out of the equation when figuring totals and savings.

You'll see I also bought some sugar and coffee creamer that I didn't have coupons for but desperately needed. Wish the hubby would have warned me they were low and not waited until empty!
All told the subtotal was $40.70 (minus the ink). After coupons I had to pay $23.63! Almost half in savings! I blame the excess on Dave! I could have done much better! But I love him anyways!
As always, I hope I am inspiring you all to save money and show how you can do it too! I definitely see a trend that I am using a lot of Internet coupons- so happy my computer is up to speed!
Have a great week everyone!
Man, that was awesome. I need to make a Walmart run soon! You go girl. Can't believe your Wags peanut butter deal!
ReplyDeleteFYI - Coffee Mate currently offers coupons on their website. I've printed a few $1.00 coupons myself recently. I also ran out of ink while printing all those Kraft coupons and made a trip to Best Buy in the midst of printing. Worth the savings though! --- Rachael
ReplyDeleteI wish I had had time to check the Coffee mate site before I ran to the store! I've got them printed now for when I see a good price! Thanks Rachael
ReplyDeleteI did shopping for my confined daughter- started at Walmart at $132 and ended with out of pocket amount of $59. Coupons do help!!!
ReplyDeleteMM
I am the confined daughter, and didn't know I was confined?!? However, I will send a free Coffee Mate I got recently home with the confinee for David.
ReplyDeleteKendra -- I was just on A Full Cup under the WAGS posts and many of the members have written that the printer refills there last about 1/2 as long as buying a new one. Some have also complained of poor ink quality (grey color instead of black). Of course you can always try it to see how you like it. I just happen to come across this tonight and thought I'd share that info. since you were going to try WAGS printer refills there next time. -- Rachael
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Rachael, I am still trying to figure out the best option. I got a couple websites to check out but haven't had time yet. I will let you know how it goes.

Hey girl!
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 places here in town that offer ink refills for the printer. Madison may offer the same when you head that direction....they just drill a hole in yours and refill or you can turn in yours for $ off others already refilled. I think my black ink is like $8 compared to over twice that much for a brand new one!
