84% Savings Today. Get Saving!

If you're not already following www.thekrazycouponlady.com, start. This week she started a new blog feature that will show what deals she is going after, and she's going to start a "stockpile" from scratch. I've decided to follow her plan, adding and subtracting a few deals here and there to meet our needs, of course. ;)

Today's savings included a few special items that may not appeal to you, but you'll get the idea. If any of these sound good to you, jump in! Couponing is easy.

2-12pack of Coke Zero, Reg $11.98/2, Sale $8.67 (usually wouldn't buy w/o coupon, but it triggered a $5 Extra Care Bucks, so it was really like paying $3.67 for 2-12 packs)

Total Cost: I actually made $0.29! Plus I got $9.25 in new coupons! (Don't forget to scan your Extra Care Card at the kiosk. Keep scanning until it says, "No more coupons available." This means you've received 1 of every type being printed at this time.)
