I have mentioned it a time or two, that I am not in this couponing game to build up my stockpile or plan a big haul, but rather to save my family a dime or two and score myself a hobby along the way. For those that know me well you know I have been in search of a hobby for quite some time, and the funniest thing about couponing is that my Mom was a coupon master back in the day, long before e-Coupons or Printables, she worked her magic with rebates like her life depended on it, and of course it didn't, but she licked those envelopes with the best of them and probably saved our family a boat load of moula along the way.
I haven't had a chance to share my latest bargains, so I figured I would catch ya'll up on the last week or so in the life of Leigh the Couponer.
Thursday May 19th - Walmart
13 Items for $2.01
Kotex Panty Liners (7) - a bit much, I know, but heck, they won't go bad and they don't take up a lot of room, and I've heard people really like to receive them in the stocking on Christmas Morning.

*Garnier Face Wipes - $2.49 (On sale from $6.49 and I used a $2.00 coupon)
Olivia informed me at 10pm last night that we were out of "toilup paper" so the trip to Walgreens this afternoon was a result of needing more TP, it wasn't actually a planned trip, couponing with the girls isn't a relaxing, hobby-like experience.
Wednesday May 25th - Walgreens (First Trip with the Girls)
Complete Contact Solution - ($1.00) ($9.99, $2.00 Store Coupon, $1.00 Manuf Coupon + $8.00 in Register Rewards, so I made a $1.00 on the transaction)
Tylenol Precise - Free ($7.99 - $3.00 Store Coupon - $5.00 Manuf Coupon)
2 Charmin TP 6 Packs - $4.98 ($3.99 - $1.00 Store Coupon - $1.00 Manuf Coupon - 7x RR Points)
*I ended up using the RR from the Fusion Razors tonight and walked away with an $8.00 RR from the Contact Solution, so net out of pocket tonight including a $17.99 Rx = $17.65
