Today I stopped at Walgreens to get Huggies Little Swimmers Diapers. They're on sale for $6.99 this week only. Usually they go for about $9 so even without the coupons it's a good buy.
I used a $2.00/1 Huggies coupon from the Smart Source newspaper insert. I also used a $2.00/1 Huggies Swimmers Diapers from the Walgreens May Booklet. That made my final price $2.99 before tax. That's a great deal!

Started Couponing

I was inspired by the show Extreme Couponing to start using coupons to save money on the things my family uses most often, especially baby stuff. Although I don't think people should hoard stuff just for the heck of it, I think couponing can save families lots of money. I found a great deal at Walgreens last week for Pampers diapers. This is what I bought:


2 – Pampers Jumbo Packs 2/$18
I used:
(2) -$1.50/1 Pampers Diapers or Pants — 05-01-11 PG x5/31
Walgreens gave me a $2.00 off Pampers manufacturer coupon for the next purchase. So that made my total to $13.00 for both. That is $6.50 for each.

This was one of my first tries at couponing. I think I could have gotten a better deal but I didn't have better coupons since I had just started collecting them from the Sunday paper.

Next week, Walgreens is having a great deal on Huggies Little Swimmers. I have coupons that will save me lots of money for this sale.
