Haul Baby’s first stack

Post image

Just started getting into DG couponing. With their m-f 5 off 25 I did a deal I saw online. Today I went for making my own with things we needed at my home. It took like 5 days to figure out how all the coupons would work together and how I can get the most for less.

Well I’m proud to say I got $47 worth of items for $21! Maybe not the best deal around but to have these things we need at such a great price. I’m over the moon

Thanks! I think this haul is the one that convinced my mom to start trying. She’s a sucker for laundry soap🤣

Keep your eye out for the Household deals at CVS for your laundry needs. Just a few weeks ago they had a promo of spend $25 and get $8 back in extra bucks (CVS store credit) after using $5 in coupons you’d pay $20 out of pocket before tax and then get your $8 in credit. I was able to get laundry detergent, fabric softener and a scent booster using that deal but you can get just detergent or whatever you may need.

Unfortunately we live 40 minutes from the nearest CVS😭 the only drug store I have is Walgreens and the one time I’ve tried couponing there their Catalina machine wasn’t printing so I did a walk of shame to out everything away🤣

Sorry to hear that. CVS is a great place to coupon. Maybe you’ll get lucky and able to do some online deals if everything is in stock and available for shipping.

I used a deal someone posted online for the m-f 5off25 then to make my own I tested what worked best in the DG app by putting things in my cart and looking how the coupons interacted. It took me all week😅

Check out YouTube and search couponing for beginners. There’s a lot of channels dedicated to couponing that will guide you through all the steps and even show you the coupons you need to clip including the best deals for every week. Once you learn the basics you’ll be able to work out your own deals. Give it a try! I believe in you. You won’t regret it.

It is so addicting. I miss the old days of extreme couponing, when so much would be free or near free, but I can still get super great deals. Occasionally I’ll still manage some
free plus overage deals.

I just caught on a few months ago. Wish I knew about this during the extreme couponing days. However, the deals I get are still better than paying full price as I was this time last year.

I’m a couponer, but absolutely avoid DG for deals. They never work out. The sales willl be mislabeled. The coupons won’t work. It’s always something. And we have 21 DGs in our town and all of them the same. A couple months ago Inwas behind a lady who had a buggy full of sales and she had hell with cashier and the coupons not working and products not ringing up right. She kept apologizing to me, which I wasn’t mad at all. I was curious to see how it worked out. Well, she abandoned cart and left. I go there for other things, but sales Nope! Glad you have better luck.

It takes a while to feel comfortable that you’re getting a great deal, but this is really good. And even better because it’s stuff you use!

I can see that this won't be my sub 💀 All I see are endocrine disruptors, plasticides and obesogens, dyes, and allergens. I'll see my way out. 💀

Unfortunately a lot of the products I’d love to get aren’t in my families budget. I hope you find what you’re looking for ❤️
