My 'before' total was just over $100, after coupons it was $10.45. As you can see, most of the things I bought were free or nearly free. I also used a $5/$50 purchase coupon, which is why I bought a free things that weren't on sale. I needed to make sure I had a balance that wasn't negative.
On another note (thanks mom), be sure to check the cosmetics area for clearance and sale items. My mom had several coupons for "$1 of any cover girl product" etc and was able to score free nail polish, emery boards and tweezers. I always forget to check that section. Thanks for the reminder!
You did awesome!!! I, too, went to Kmart yesterday, but didn't do THAT well....$71 and oop was $28. Also went to CVS, Target (HUGE savings there and got free full tubs of wipes and pretty darn cheap Huggies and Pampers as well)! Target was about $80 and oop was $32'ish. Also hit my grocery store and had $81 and walked out for $32!!! Kendra, I was so pumped up yesterday!!! Jon even commented about it. Thank you again so much for helping me see the light :) We've saved some money and overall, diapers for the twins are pretty much FREE money (if that makes sense)!
