Intro...

So this is new to me, I've never wrote a blog before. Lately I've been sharing a few pictures (on facebook) of the deals I've gotten through using coupons. I figure most people probably don't give a shit about it but some might. I've been getting more and more questions lately about my coupons so I figured rather then fill up everyone's news feed, and repeating myself over and over again in private messages, I might as well start a blog and if people decide to follow it great, hopefully I can help someone out or at least inspire someone to start saving money themselves.

Now last night I created this blog and spent about an hour writing it, only to lose it when I tried to publish it. So tonight it's going to be short and sweet (or at least shorter).

The picture I posted is my most recent purchase with coupons. I got it all at walmart and I bought other non coupon related items so I don't really have a receipt that shows the exact total, so I did the math and it works out to be around $21-$22 for all the stuff in the picture (taxes included). And here's how I did it:

Bounty, Charmin and Puffs were all on sale at Superstore for $6.99 each. I price matched them at Walmart for a total of $20.97 for all 3. Then I used a coupon for $6.00 off when you buy one Bounty, one Charmin and one Puffs bringing my total down to $14.97 for all 3!

Dawn dish detergent was on sale at Canadian Tire for $1. I had 2 coupons for $1.00 when you buy 2 Dawn products. So I bought 4 for $4.00 and with the 2 $1.00 coupons it brought the total down to $2.00 for all 4 bottles!

Vim was also on sale at Canadian Tire for $1.00 and I had $1.00 off any Vim product. I used both coupons and got both for free!

Old El Paso was on sale at Walmart for $4.00. I had 2 FPC (Free Product Coupon) that I had ordered online from the Old El Paso facebook page and so I used those and got both of those free!

So that brings my grand total to (before taxes)  $16.97!!! So why did it come to $21-$22 with taxes? Because I paid tax on the price of the item BEFORE coupons.... So all that "free"  stuff actually cost me. But hey, who am I to complain? I still think $22 for all that stuff is a pretty good deal!

So that's it for tonight! I will try to keep updating regularly with new purchases and deals, and who knows maybe I'll inspire someone else to start saving with coupons too!
