Lauren's Fabulous Finds #2

 

The newest Tom Thumb circular came out yesterday, and here's what I found:

Buy 2 12-can Coke products, get 2 free (mix and match) + 2 free boxes of Nabisco crackers.

A 12 pack of Coke is regularly:$5.99

Nabisco crackers are regularly: $3.29

That's a savings of: 61%

Last time this promotion was going on, my mom asked me if this was cheaper than buying the 20 pack of Cokes. Guess what mom, it is. (I'll spare you the math, just trust me.)

Promotion ends April 5th!!

March 30-April 5th: Spend $75 with your Tom Thumb Reward Card and get a $10 Spring Reward Card to use on your next purchase before April 16th.

You can earn this reward over and over. 

I mean, if you're going to spend $75 anyways....  

  

Promotion ends April 5th!!

20-25 oz Palmolive Dish Soap

Regularly: $3.49, Super Saver Coupon: $1.99

There was a coupon in this weeks' circular for $0.50 off, which doubles to $1 off...

Final cost: $0.99

That's 72% savings.

Super Saver Coupon expires April 5th!!

Finally, don't forget about the free chips at Kroger tomorrow!

And those, my friends... are Lauren's Fabulous Finds! 

See, it takes no time to save a dime.

Extreme Couponing

There is a great new show coming to TLC called "Extreme Couponing."

The show features many individuals and how these people use coupons to pay for upwards of 85% of their groceries. These people devote their whole lives to couponing, but their strategy is the same as ours: read the weekly circular and match coupons to whats on sale. These coupon-ers take this strategy to a whole new level and stockpile groceries that will last for months, but they end up paying next to nothing for hundreds of dollars of groceries.

Premiers: Wednesday April 6 on TLC 

Get your sneak peak- click here!!  

Check back every week for a summary of the show and tips on how to apply their strategy to your life.
