We went to Fresh Market just for the "buy this get that free" sale they have. Then I gasped when I saw a clearance rack! I found these men's Gillette deodorants on clearance for $2. I had 2 different kinds of coupons that worked brilliantly with this! I had $4 off of 2 deodorants...making them FREE! I had four coupons so I got 8 deodorants absolutely free! Then I had 3 coupons for buy a deodorant get a free body wash. So I bought 3 deodorants at $2 each and got 3 free body washes (which normally would have cost $4.99 each!). So in total we spent $6 for 11 deodorants and 3 body washes. That is by far the best deal I have gotten so far and I wouldn't have been able to do it if I hadn't had my binder full of coupons with me! I love just having all of them with me all of the time so if I do come across something unexpected that is on clearance, I have all my coupons on hand and can snag the deal on the spot! Love love love it!
8 pack Bounty paper towels
24 pack Top Ramen noodles
6 cans green beans
3 boxes butter
1 loaf of bread
2.6 lbs hamburger
1 box Band-Aids
11 Gillette deodorants
3 Gillette body washes
1 bag Krusteaz pancake mix
1 bottle syrup
1 Dole salad mix
1 ranch dressing
4 pkg. Farmland sausage links
1 box skillet meal
Total: $48.18 (and I'm pretty sure we got charged $2.29 for the syrup that should have been free, so it could have been roughly $46)
Average price per item: 96 cents ...hold on. something's not adding up but I need to go plant peas. I'll figure this out and update later.
Ok, so it looks like we really got 60 items (including each individual packet of Ramen) which makes the average price per item 80 cents! 80 cents for a pack of Ramen feels like kind of a rip in the shorts, but when you look at the flip side of paying 80 cents for 8 rolls of paper towels, or 80 cents for 7 lbs. of Krusteaz pancake mix, you can't go wrong!

wow great job girl! I tried to start saving coupons but to be honest I am too lazy! I feel like it takes way too much time. I need a friend like you to show me how to do it!
that is awesome! I hear about people doing this all the time... I better hop on the band wagon!
Whoa! I need to do that!!! You're awesome!
I've got to get back into this. I used to coupon a lot and brag about my deals but it's been a while.
woo hoo. Good for you!
Ive never been able to visualize the binder system...what does yours look like? I just use a little think I can stick in my purse...but I've kind of fallen off the wagon and just quit grocery shopping in general to save money. It's effective...just not very tasty.
