A couponing example with the breakdown :-)

This is an example couponing at Target yesterday. 

 

 

I got all of this for LESS THAN A DOLLAR before tax.  Here goes...

 

• I had a FREE coupon up to $9.99 for the Dove Body Wash received in the mail.  It was only $5.04 but it took off the entire $9.99.  So that almost $5 was used toward other things in this picture. 
• Windex Touch Up- $3.49 with $1/1 MQ. (from coupons.com)  (Not that great of a deal but I needed it. I love this stuff.) =$2.49
• Loreal Total Repair 5 12.6oz shampoo- $3.99 then used a $2/1 MQ and $1/1 TQ. = $0.99
• 2 Pantene (one shampoo and one conditioner)- $3.49 each then used BOGO FREE coupon (up to $4.99 it took the whole amount), then used a $3/2 TQ catalina.  =Free with a $1.01 overage 
• 2 Campbell's Go Soup- $2.49 then used $1/1 MQ (campbells.com) and a $1/1 TQ.  = $0.49 each
• Always Pantiliners- $0.94 and used a $1/1 MQ  =Free with a $0.06 overage. 
• 4 travel size Loreal shampoo- $0.97 each then used 4 $1/1 MQ =Free with a $0.03 overage for each.  (COUPON NOW EXPIRED as of 7/13/13)
• Vlasic Relish- $0.89 then used a $1/1 MQ from vlasic.com =Free with $0.11 overage. 
• I also bought a bottle of water to drink on my way home.  It was $1.49 + a $0.05 deposit. 

 

**All MQ (manufacture coupons) are from the newspaper unless otherwise noted.  All TQ (Target coupons) are from target.com unless otherwise noted.

**At Target "overage" can be used toward other purchases.  Be sure you buy enough to still be over zero with counting the overage. :-)   

 

Hope the breakdown helped! 

 

So... all of this for less than a dollar... :-)
