Beginner's Luck

This whole "extreme couponing" craze has me intrigued.  No, I haven't watched the show.  But putting in a little time/effort to save money is never a bad thing.  I'm not so converted to the whole "stashing" 100 of something you will never go thru.  But... stalking up on basics as a minimal cost....well....I'm pretty sure we've been admonished to do this FOREVER!!  So, I decided to try my hand.  I went to a website that I had been watching, looked at their tips and then went to Walgreens.  Here is what I came home with - keep in mind...I'm starting small!!


The trick is learning how to use "Register Rewards" and becoming brand friendly.  I figured there is about $35 worth of product here.
My total after store, manufacture and Register Rewards?
Brace yourself.........

$2.22
That's right.  For about 1 hour of my time....I made around $30.  And if I don't like the BAN deodorant....I can throw it knowing I only spent $. 34 on each one.
NOT BAD...(for a beginner!!)
