    Default Sharing a Small Triumph!!

    Yesterday I went Grocery Shopping and accomplished my best "coup"-on- "de graci" (small play on words there...hehehe) yet!

    T'was but a small accomplishment but I did it! I had 2 /.50 coupons for White Rain Hair Spray and 2/.30 coupons for White rain shampoo or conditioner. These items were on sale at the local DOUBLE coupon store!!!!!

    I got a bottle of shampoo and conditioner for .29 each and I got the 2 bottles of hairspray FREE (that's if you don't count sales tax)

    WOOOOO HOOOOO

    Regular Price
    let's see 1.39 x 4 = 5.52 +36 (tx)=5.88

    After Sales Price and Coupons
    I got all four items for .94 (with tax)

    I wish I could find more bargains like this!!!!!

    Graci, Good for you! I've become such a shampoo coupon snob, I refuse to pay more than .35 a bottle for shampoo or conditioner! Dh thinks I'm crazy, but I have a shelf full of shampoo and conditioner that was less than .35 each at home that says otherwise!

    Cheap shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and deoderant are my favorite coupn finds. The markup on them is soooo much! I love getting toothpaste for .25 for a large tube! WTG, Graci!
