I originally had the free motrin in this transaction instead of the huggies wipes. I grabbed the wrong motrin and the free one was gone. I knew I needed over $4 to get to $25, so I grabbed the wipes. If the motrin had been in the transaction instead of the wipes the total would have been $3.10. Also, I was hoping to do the free Vicks Sinex instead of the Dayquil, but they didn't have any (couldn't even find it on the shelf...).



Transaction #2

One Touch Delica Lancing Device 17.99 (w/ 10% wellness disc)

One Touch Lancets 7.99 (had raincheck for 'buy lancing device, get lancets 50% off')

=25.98

-5 5/25

-17.99 q Lancing Device

-2.99 Lancets VV (adjusted down from $5)

=0 Total



This is where I can tell I'm still a beginner. My total for this transaction came below 0 so the VV Q had do be adjusted down. If I would have know that beforehand, I could have added a filler item for $2.01 and gotten it for free. Rats. I definitely didn't have my spreadsheets ready this morning before I went to RA.



Transaction #3

Some people are reporting they are able to print off more planters q from the kraft website, but I was only able to do 2.

So I was out of planters q's (and couldn't find my wipes q's) but decided to get more anyway. The nuts came out to $1 each after UPs. I decided to add a filler item to get to $25 so I could use my $5/25 so essentially I was getting the wipes for free. I would have paid $5 for the nuts either way.



Total for the day: 19.37. Plus I will sell 10 of the nuts for $1 ea so my total is down to $9.37. Not bad for what I got.


Think of it this way: Today I needed wipes and calmoseptine cream. If I wasn't a couponer, I would have walked into RA and bought both items. 6.55 for the cream and 3.49 for the wipes. Then I would have noticed that the wipes were BOGO50% so I would have bought another one at 1.74, making my total $11.78. That is $2.41 more than what I actually spent today, and look at how much more I have than just the cream and two things of wipes.



Happy shopping!
