Tip #1: Keep your eyes open!
So I was in the commissary this weekend. They always have tons of coupons on tearpads right next to the products - it doesn't hurt to check them out.
They had Kraft BBQ on sale for 88 cents, which is a steal in itself, BUT they also had 50cent off 1 Kraft BBQ sauce coupons right next to product! So now you can score an even better deal - 38cents for BBQ sauce!
However, upon further inspection, I saw that the bottles of BBQ sauce had coupons attached to them! (This is why I wish I had taken a picture). I peeled it off and it was for $1 off Kraft Salad Dressing with the purchase of this BBQ sauce. Well, I was in the condiment section anyway, so I moseyed over to see how much the Kraft dressing was. Lo and behold - it was on sale for $1.60! So with my coupon, I got it for 60cents! YAY!
Tip #2! Look for trial/smaller sizes!
Another great way to score a deal is to see if you can apply a coupon to a smaller sized product. I found tearpad coupons for 50cents off Softsoap bodywash right next to the big bottles of bosywash that go for around $3. However, I also happened to notice in the seasonal aisle that there were smaller bottles of Softsoap bodywash for only 80cents! Therefore, I could score bodywash for only 30cents with coupon! Woo!
*Note:* Read the coupon! Sometimes there are size restrictions!
Another fantastic deal I found was Playtex Tampons for $2.02. I'm not sure if this was a sale or regular price. I happen to have coupons from the Sunday paper for $2 off a box - making them 2 cents a piece! Score!!!!
So in total I got 5 BBQ sauces, 5 salad dressings, 5 body washes and 4 boxes of tampons for a grand total of $6.48!!!
I really couldn't resist such great deals. However, I am not a crazy stock pile lady - I have no room for that! I also don't really NEED all that BBQ sauce or body wash. I will pass on the savings to some family members because hey, who doesn't like free stuff!
