My BF willingly surived an LD trip together ...

[sassypants]

So, I decided to do an LD run this week as I was in between Christmas shopping (I think I needed a good 'savings high' to keep my going, LOL!) ... as I was shopping and trying to use up the December expiries my BF decided to join me and see what the experience was really like ...

*Degree Deoderant ($2.99 - FPC) = FREE
*Vicks Vaporub ($5.99 - $4.00 in coupons) = $1.99
*Finish Quantum Dishwasher Tabs ($7.99 - $7.50 in coupons) = $0.49
*Bausch & Laumb Contact Solution ($9.99 - $9.00 in coupons) = $0.99
*Febreze Air Effect Spray ($3.99 x 3 - $12.00 in coupons) = +$0.03
*Christie Crackers ($2.75 - FPC from previous cracker complaint) = FREE
*Cover Girl Eyeshadow Quad package ($4.49 clearance on shimmer shade x 2 - $8.00 in couons) = $0.98
*Air Wick Freshmatic Compact ($8.99 - FPC) = FREE
*Old Spice Deoderant (2.99 on sale x 6 - $18.00) = +$0.06
*Old Spice Bodywash ($3.99 x 6 - $23.94 [FREE WUB deoderant]) = FREE

*Duracell Battery 20-pack ($9.99 on sale - $1.50) = $8.49

... with TAX of $10.88 my TOTAL was $23.73
♥ SAVINGS OF $98.67 ♥

Although my BF's interest was gone by the time we hit up the till, I had to send him a picture message of my final bill and toal - he appreciated that! I must admit he was excited being able to pick out his Old Spice ... he will find out that those will be a part of his mini-stockpile Christmas present, LOL! I have a rubbermade container filled with household essentials ready for him to help save money in the coming year. Since he survived this trip there will be more ...

Great job! Love that the batteries were really the only thing that cost any significant amount of money Wish there were more coupons for those!

Any man who willingly goes stacking is a keeper!! LOL

6 bodywash and 6 deodorants for Free? Wow! Good of your bf to go with you, my dh went with me to the mega redemption at shoppers and hasnt complained about my coupon obsession since! Good to show them visually what it is all about and how much we really do save, so they appreciate what we do.

great brag! I want to get good deals on contact solutions, I wonder how people get coupons on these as I have never used one before nor I have seen coupons.

my husband is quite sick of coupon shopping he avoids it at all costs,great shopping trip.

Great deals!

I've been wondering about contact solution coupons too. It seems to be the only coupon type I haven't run across yet.

My husband loves coming with me on trips to LD. He is very supportive of my 'couponing habit' and generally has better eyes than I do picking out coupons in the isles at the grocery store lol

Where did the Bausch & Lomb coupons come from?

He is definitely a keeper, lol! He is coming around to couponing and is as frugal as I am ... Glad to see some support from other men as well for SC'ers savings ... Also, would love to see some new battery coupons ... or have more items come with batteries, lol!

Sorry - the Bausch & Lomb contact solution coupons came from two coupon bundles from Shopper's Voice ...
