Over all, it was a money maker night! Except I have to appologize to Lindsay as it could have been even BETTER but I was completely thrown off by the toothpaste from the first transaction!! I can't believe it! Because I was thrown off I then FORGOT to use one of my coupons, but I think she remembered for her transactions!
Lindsay - go back to CVS (any cvs) and get another tube of toothpaste - the ones on sale for 2/$5 - then get a candy bar (or something that equals $0.50) - You'll ring up for $3.00 + tax. Use your $2.99 ECB from the vitamins and you'll pay a few pennies in tax. THEN you'll get $2.00 ECB BACK! Had I realized my mistake while we were there I would have done it RIGHT then!! I'm so sorry!! The reason you are going to do this is because the toothpaste is on sale 2/$5 - and then you get $2.00 back. Well we bought 3 tubes. Which means we are one short from an even 4!! AAAAHHH!!
What a way to teach someone what NOT to do during their first money saving trip! Let's go again sometime and I promise we'll do EVEN better! Though overall, how can we really complain when we MADE money!!
If anyone else is interested in doing a class, let me know. I have a friend, Kendra over at Coupon Ladies who is teaching a class next week and we could all go together! If you can't do then, than I'm always up for a coupon buddy to go shopping with! I'll even share my coupons!
