Diapers, Snacks & a lil girls first stack!!

Took my sister and her friend shopping.... they decided that they wanted to see how the whole couponing thing was done.

I gave my sisters friend who just turned 18 some stacks and she got... (not pictured)

2 Stayfree Pads 18 packs;; $4.49each - $9 in coupons = FREE
1 Loreal hair Expertise Treatment;; $4.99 - $5 in coupons = FREE

OP = $1.37
Saved;; $14

It was SO adorable she looks back at me when she saw the total and her eyes were all lit up. She went to my sister and I heard her whisper, "that was the best feeling ever, I know why your sister does it!" :lolsign:
I left her with stacks for other things like laundry detergent, finish quantum, and cat food. Told her that all she had to do was wait for the items to go on sale and she could pick them up as she needed. Her and my sister just moved into their first place together so that totally made her day AND it made my day for seeing her so happy :) I also let them pick 15 items each from my stockpile, go figure that they stocked up on laundry detergent, cleaners, ziploc bags, toothbrushes and air fresheners. :lolsign:

Then it was my turn, I picked up...
1x Huggies Pure & natural;; $13.99 - $14 coupons = FREE
6x Huggies Slip Ons;; $13.99each - $14.50 coupons = FREE
2x Huggies Wipes;; $4.99each PM to RCSS @ $3.39 - $3.50 coupons = FREE
2x Melitta Filters;; $1.99each - $1.50 coupons = $.49each
1x Beneful Prepared;; $2.99 - FPC = FREE
1x Pediasure;; $9.99 - $11.50 coupons = FREE
9x Fruit Twists;; $1.99each - $2.00 coupons = FREE
2x Noxzema Blemish Pads;; $3.99each - $3 coupons = $.99each
2x Live Clean Baby;; $6.49each - $11 coupons = $.99each
1x Clorox Fibregaurd;; $2.99 - $2.00 coupons = $.99
1x Scrubbing Bubbles Extend a Clean;; $9.99 - $10 coupons = FREE

OP;; $17.79
Saved;; $168.31

** Pediasure & 3 boxes of Del Monte went to my friend & her daycare. 4 Boxes of Del Monte went to fellow SC'er iluvcoupons. The last 2 boxes of Del Monte went to my sisters friend. AND the scrubbing bubbles was for my sister, I tried getting her to do the stack herself but she was too embarassed. :shrug: **

Great brag! I think most of us were a little embarrassed st some point. It is a wonderful feeling to save and share the powers of couponing!

yeah.... my sister has always been a the spoiled little princess of the family. She was born 3 1/2 months premature and spent her life in and out of the hospital so whatever she wanted she got! But I am hoping now that she is 19 and on her own she will start to realize that you need to find a good deal wherever you can, because even if you have a good job it adds up in the end!! She would rather shop from my stockpile, or have me do all the work. :rant:

However that's a good way for me to get free babysitting ;)
hahaha

Great deals and such an adorable story! :)

Awesome brag :) its always a good feeling when you are saving money :)

l am very proud of you. lt's good that your sister's friend liked the stacking as it might rub off on your sisters. Sometimes we don't like to listen to our siblings so you never know, but keep up the great work:)

I couldn't find them either a couple of weeks ago, I was so sad. So I asked just to be sure and lo and behold they had a whole shelf! They were in the candy aisle on the top shelf, way out of site for me since I'm short. :P But they were in the same spot at both locations I went to... only the one location wouldn't let me stack my coupons because they said "one coupon per package". Had no problem at the original location though, ended up with 20 boxes and only have 5 left for myself. Hubby doesn't like them so I guess I will keep them for when friends are visiting with their kidlets. The supervisor told me they weren't going to be carrying them anymore which is why they were on sale for $1.99 :)

awwww........... your story had me smiling!! So neat to see what happens when someone realises that they can get something for free!!
Free babysitting is great....even if it means you get to do some of her shopping...lol!!

it's so great that u can save so much on diapers!!

Cute story! Nice to help others and show them the ropes!
