I used to think saving every single coupon I clipped was stupid. I knew I was never going to buy, say, Dulcolax so why bother?? Until I saw first-hand how a silly little $3 off Dulcolax coupon paired with amazing CVS deal and a rebate could be a money-maker!!
Will I use the Dulcolax? Probably not. Will I keep it in my house? Maybe for a little while, but I am the anti-Hoarder - I hate clutter so probably not for long! But just look at the math from my previous post about CVS deals and how that $3 off Dulcolax coupon came into play...
Dulcolax $9.99
-$3 off coupon
=$6.99 (which I paid for using ECB, rather than my own money)
Then they handed me $9.99 in ECB that I used to buy things my family actually needs.
This deal was sweetened further by the fact that I am able to send in for a $5 rebate.
I just profitted $8 for clipping and saving that silly little $3 Dulcolax coupon. That's 2 lattes from Starbucks!
Now I will confess that I don't save some coupons... like cat food. I've never seen a money-making deal on cat food and I don't even really like cats all that much. But it certainly doesn't hurt me any to file away a weird coupon and it could really benefit me, such as on weeks like this at CVS.
