Thinking outside of the box

 

What a great little coupon. One that I’ve taken advantage of many times.

 

We keep our cat treats under the kitchen sink, along with dish soap, dish sponges, trash bags, etc.

It was getting a little messy under the sink.

I knew I had a decent stock pile, but didn’t know exactly how many bottles I had of dish soap or cat treats. (Target recently had a coupon for 75 cents off a Target brand cleaning item, which took dish soap from $1.97 to $1.28, which is cheaper than Aldi’s price. Needless to say, I stocked up. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m guessing I’ll always dirty dishes to wash!)

So, what did I do? First I emptied the majority of the items, grouped everything and then reassembled the cupboard contents.

When I initially saw the coupon on the Target website I assumed “cleaning item” meant window cleaner, carpet cleaner, and so forth. At some point my wheels started spinning and I decided dish soap was a cleaning item. As you can see, the coupon worked just fine. I always do everything I can to make sure I’m being an honest shopper, but I still try to think outside of the box and get the most for my buck.

Be on the lookout!

I picked up a Papa Murphy's pizza for my family this past weekend and look what I found!

I went on-line and completed the super quick survey, so now I have another coupon to use!
 I managed to miss this on the previous pizza I had picked up. The coupons in the newspaper are the
 easiest to come by, but others are out there. Be sure to have your eyes open for peelies and other in-store coupons. 

In the right place at the right time

The boys and I went to Hy Vee to pick up a few items the other day and came across a deal.

It was originally $2.99 and marked down to 99 cents. Well, I just happened to bring my coupons in with me and I had a coupon for $1.00 off this item, which made it free.

I'm looking forward to finally trying this product and the best part is that it was free!
