However, this morning when my baby girl woke up I realized I only had 5 diapers left. I knew that no matter what I was going to have to go buy diapers TODAY! Also, she was out of baby cereal too! So, I spent the day trying to plan the best places to go, what coupons/rebates/gift cards to use and how to do it all using as little money out of pocket as I could.....
So here is everything I got for ONLY $3.69 cash! Yep, that's right--including tax! $3.69 on $46.19 worth of products! I am pretty stoked about this one. I did have a few gift cards and things that I applied so the details are in the post below:
Walgreens:
(2) Huggies Diapers, on sale for $9 with loyalty card. I used (2) $3/1 coupons HERE which brought my total to $13.69. I then used 10,000 Balance Rewards (which is $10) to pay leaving my total at ONLY $3.69!
*Note-these are actually producing 3,000 points when purchasing $15 or more, but since I needed to use my 10,000 points to pay I did not receive those points. When you pay using points you will not receive points. I usually do not do this, but since I was trying to use as little cash as possible I did this time.
Walmart:
(2) Ziploc Bags, $2.28 each--used $1/2 HERE and submitted for $2.50 Ibotta = $.53 each
(1) Plum Organics Mighty 4 Pouch, $1.08--used $1/1 HERE and submitted for $.50 Ibotta = $.42 MONEY MAKER!
(1) Tomato, $.17--submitted for $.25 Checkout 51 Rebate = FREE + $.08 MONEY MAKER!
(4) Minute Maid Lemonade, $1.25 each--used $1/4 HERE and submitted for the $5 giftcard HERE = FREE + $1 MONEY MAKER!
(1) Dial Body Wash, $3.97--used FREE coupon from Purex Insiders for bloggers and submitted for $1 Ibotta Rebate = FREE + $1 MONEY MAKER!
(1) Gerber Baby Cereal, $3.58--no coupon, but we had to have it!
Total amount at both stores BEFORE coupons, rebates and gift cards :: $46.19
Total amount at both stores AFTER coupons, rebates and gift cards :: $3.69!!
Walmart Breakdown:
*My total at Walmart came to $20.52 before coupons, rebates and giftcards, but I used $6.97 worth of coupons and then paid with $13.55 on a gift card (earned from the Bacon deal posted earlier). I then received $9.25 in rebates and gift cards on my purchases making the total amount OOP still only $4.30 if I had paid cash.....but since I had the gift card, my only out of pocket expense today was the $3.69 at Walgreens!
