How did we do it???

So what you really want to know is how we did it. First off you need to know that we have been saving coupons for a little while now. Second off you need to realize that this takes time and energy to accomplish and third off you need to watch flyers/ your local store in great detail.

So you also may ask why do they need so many sandwich bags....the answer is because they paid for the rest of the stuff. We got them for free basically....yes I said free! Here is what we did:

We saw in the flyer that Walmart has Ziploc Sandwich bags on sale for $1.49. We had a coupon that was for $4.00 of any 2 Ziploc Bags. So after the math-we made $1.02 for every 2 boxes of bags we bought. We bought 18 boxes of bags so we made $9.18 in credit to buy other stuff.

We had a coupon for a free salsa if you buy an Old El Paso Soft Taco Kit. We also had a $2.00 off Scott Towels coupon and a $0.75 off of  Catelli Pasta.

The taco kit was $3.47 and the Salsa was free.
The pasta was $1.77 minus $0.75 = $1.02
The towels were $6.97 minus $2.00 = $4.97
We also bought 2 boxes of freezer bags at $3.17 each minus $4.00

Our total: $2.44 plus $4.79 tax (you pay tax on the whole total unless it says free on the coupon)
We pay: $7.23

The Stayfree Pads were at Shoppers Drugmart on sale in the flyer for $1.99. We had multiple $1.99 coupons for the pads. We had to pay $0.40 tax.

The real or normal retail value of these products is around $87.00. After using flyers, coupons and some fancy math we only paid around 7% for the stuff.

As for having all these bags that we won't use-they will be donated to the local food bank who says they can use stuff like that or just about anything!

Happy Savings!
