After watching Extreme Couponing on TLC last week, I was fired up about slashing our grocery bill by using coupons and taking advantage of great deals on items we use the most around our home.  After scouring the sales flyers and matching them to my coupons, I discovered there were a couple of great deals I needed to take advantage of.

My first stop was Dollar General.  I had 3 coupons for $2 off Olay Body Wash.  Guess how much Olay Body Wash was at Dollar General last week? Yep, $2.

ALL FOR FREE!

My Kroger trip netted me 2 FREE bottles of Old Spice Body Wash.  Kroger was offering $4 off your entire bill if you bought 4 participating Proctor & Gamble products.  I noticed that 2 of the products were for Old Spice and I had Buy One Old Spice Deodorant Get One Old Spice Body Wash Free coupons and $1 off the deodorant coupons. 

What I bought:

2 Old Spice Deodorants at $2.40

2 Old Spice Body Wash for $7 total

1 Always Pads at $5.49 (didn’t have to buy these to get the $4 promo, but they were needed.  Ahem.)

Coupons used:  (2) B1G1 free Old Spice Body Wash, (2) $1 off Old Spice Deodorant, (1) $1 off any Always

Store Promo:  $4 off my bill for buying 4 participating products

Savings in Manufacturers Coupons:  $8.80

Savings with Kroger Plus Card: $5.42

Total Savings:  $14.22

My grand total?  $5.18!!!

Meaning, without coupons and the promo, this would have cost $19.40.

I was so excited I had to literally refrain from skipping out of the store, but I did call my husband on the phone to tell him all about it.  He was seriously impressed and cheered me on! Ha!  Needless to say, these two deals have ruined me forever for paying full price for anything.
