Confessions of a Coupon Mom Series: Getting paid to take items out of the store!

So the story goes: I walked into the store with (1) $5 store credit and (2) $2 coupons. I bought (2) Colgate Toothpaste on sale for $3.49 and received $4 worth of care bucks (which is like a store credit) with the buy.

I also bought a pack of one of my kids favorite candy, which is on sale for $2 and it produced a $2 care buck.

Lastly I bought a bottle of Soft Soap hand soap on sale for $1.88, with a $1 carebuck attached.

I also had and used an in-app CVS coupon that stated that I would save $2 if I bought 2 Colgate toothpaste. (CVS send you coupons to download to your card weekly.)

My total came up to $10.88+ tax. I used my CVS $2 coupon, my (2) manufacturer Colgate coupons, and my $5 Carebuck. This brought my total down to $0. Due to the fact that you have to pay tax on food items, I had to pay .17 cent tax for the candy I bought.

The best part of it all is that I received $7 worth of care bucks from my purchases. So basically, I was paid an extra $2 to take those 4 products out of the store.

Score for The One Single Mom!
