Couponing #87

There was another clearance event at Dollar General this weekend.  It started Friday.  I was there when the doors opened, but so were several others.  It was a mad rush to the clearance aisle where people started clearing the shelves of all the laundry detergent.  I picked up one but found a couple others on another isle.  I went back to the clearance aisle and a man that was one of the primary culprits of shelf clearing joked that he didn’t get much.  I said his buggy looked pretty full. He said,” yeah, but I had to elbow my way to get it.”  I don’t know what his total was, but I overheard another full buggy one at around $150.

I went back Saturday to incorporate a $5 off $25 and then again Sunday because some new digital coupons were available. In all, the full price total was $217.  I paid $8.03 plus $5.41 in tax.  I was pretty happy with my more moderate haul.
