Nice! I LOVE stuff like that! I have a story! When my daughter was a baby, Target put out a printable coupon for $1 off any 2 gerber baby/toddler food items. Well, my Target here sells the small jars of babyfood for $.54 each! So I printed out like 20 of them and got 40 jars of babyfood for $1.60! I kept going back and doing it again! I know other moms were doing it too because sometimes I would go and the shelves would be empty.
When all was said and done, I wound up buying like 200 jars! I had WAY more than I needed so I wound up selling half of them on craigslist for like $.20 cents each! I thought was was more than fair because I spent the time and money on paper and ink and shopping for the items. That way I made a little money and saved other moms money too!
I love moments like that!
Oh and just last week they opened a new store in our local grocery chain. The store put on TONS of coupons for things like produce, meat, deli, etc. They also had TONS of BOGO deals! Between all of the deals, coupons, etc, I wound up cutting $100 of my grocery bill! I spent less than $200, my cart of overflowing w/ pantry and toiletry items...along with my regular two weeks of groceries (I take a small shopping trip on the off-week). It felt great!
