Yesterday I went with a friend on a little shopping adventure in efforts to pick up the last of the things needed for my son's birthday party tomorrow. Boy oh boy did I hit it big!
Walmart had loaded shelves full of Gillette Foamy shaving cream for $1.46 each! This came in all different varieties. This is what I purchased on my first shopping trip of the day broken down into the 3 separate transactions that I did.
12 Gillette foamy shaving cream original $1.46 each = $17.52 then I used 4 $5 Gillette coupons when you buy 3 of their products for a grand total of -.20 cents! The store actually owed me! Now I have to make it clear that Walmart is not going to pay you to shop there, and they will not give you that 20cents but I owed absolutely nothing!
Second transaction was pretty much the same but I purchased 12 Gillette Foamy sensitive skin shaving cream. Same price, same coupons and same amazing total!
My last transaction during this shopping trip consisted of:
12 Gillette shaving gels with 20% more in each can= $2.00 each or $24.00 for all used 4x $5 Gillette coupon when you buy 3
3x Clorox disinfecting wipes and price matched to No Frills dollar sale = $1.00 each or $3.00 for all three - 3x $1.00 save.ca coupons
5 Vial cake decorating sprinkle kit = $2.62 no coupons
Tic Tac 100 pieces = $2.38 no coupons
12x Campbells Chicken broth priced match to No Frills dollar sale= $1.00 each or $12.00 for all 12 - 6x $1.00 off when you buy two coupons
My grand total for all of the above was a whooping $17.82!
I just wouldn't be a mom if I went into a store and managed to forget my head, I mean everything that I need so off to Walmart we headed again last night to get the last of the things needed for my son's party. He decided that he wanted taco's instead of pizza and there were a few things that we just didn't have in the house. On this Walmart shopping trip I had the cashiers eyes bulging and scratching his head thinking he rang in something wrong! All joking aside he was fantastic and had a sweet Aussie accent, very pleasant young man which I have found can be difficult when you are using so many coupons.

Tonight's big deals are Ladies Skintimate shaving cream, Pepsi 6x 710mL and Tasters Choice coffee. I maybe surprised at what else I can find! I never go anywhere without my coupon binder, you never know what kind of clearance or sale might be on that you didn't see advertised! Some of the best store sales are not found in the flyers but rather on end caps found in stores. Know your prices, get to know your stores sales rotation and know what you need! These 3 small tips will save you a bundle in no time!
Happy Savings
