What can you do with 48 cents?? ALL THAT!! Seriously, out of pocket, all I spent was .48! I used change from the bottom of my pocketbook.
  • 5 boxes of Electrasol (20ct) (4.50/each x 5 = 22.50... minus 5 $2.50 coupons = $10)
  • 2 Softsoap Nutraserum bodywash (4.99 x 2 = 9.98...minus 2 $2 coupons = 5.98)
  • 2 Stayfree pads ($5 each = $10, minus a b1g1 coupon = $5)
  • 2 Composition books (.99 each = $1.98)
  • 1 notebook (.99)
  • 2 packs of binder clips (.99 each = $1.98)
  • 2 bookcovers (.99 each = $1.98)
  • 1 protractor ($1.50)
  • 2 packs of Pilot Easy Touch pens (.99 each = $1.98)
  • 2 packs of M&M's (.89 each = $1.78...minus 2 .85 coupons = .08)
  • 1 pack of marhsmallow cones (.25)
I had a $4 off $20 coupon that I used, and I used $28 in ECBs (one was adjusted down, so $27.51, really) ... and got back $33.47!! I made money (in ECBs) even considering the measly .48 cents I spent out of pocket, AND got all that!
I also got a coupon for 120 count asprin free, that I can use next week! :o)
I realize my kiddos are too young for school yet, but my husband is always taking a class of some sort and can use school supplies, and I figure if I "buy" what's free now, I can just keep a bin of supplies for when we need them later to keep expenses at a minimum.
