So, I’m 22 years old and I just started couponing. Everyone thought I was krazy when I started, but after this brag I have everyone wanting a piece of the action! I went to target (2 different actually) for almost everything in the picture (except platex and angel soft, that was walgreens). It took me a while and several transactions, but I can home after spending only $38.91 on $134.22 worth of products. 71% SAVINGS . I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t think is was possible here in the bay area since everything is so much more expensive, but it is!
RETAIL THERAPY–MACYS 80% SAVINGS
Posted in: Other, The Brag Lounge // Comments Off
I love shopping, whether its retail or grocery, I just love it!! I have always been savvy when it comes to retail shopping, but since I starting using coupons, I love adding up all the savings.
To make it clear, some of the discounts I received are from my associate discount that I get from working at Macys. But I still got it at an amazing price before that
Break down:
RP=retail price
SP= sale price
Pair of sandals– RP= $39 SP=$9.75
Stiletto heels– RP=$110 SP= $27.50
Swimwear– RP=$34 SP=$9.99
Swimwear– RP=$34 SP=$9.99
Swimwear– RP =$22 SP=$4.99
Swimwear– RP =$41 SP=$9.99
Swimwear– RP =$35 SP=$9.99
Swimwear– RP =$39 SP=$9.99
Shirt–RP =$9.99 SP=$4.99
Shirt–RP =$14.99 SP=$9.99
Shirt–RP =$5.99 SP=$4.99
Shirt–RP =$9.99 SP=$4.99
Dress– RP $49 SP $12
Reverseable Black/Brown Belt– RP $32 SP $9.99
I then had a 20% off purchase coupon that I used which brought my total to $111.29 (no tax in NJ)
Total Retail Value $475.96. Which is a 77% savings before my associate discount!! AWESOME deals for everyone out there.
With my associate discount my total OOP is $80.13!!
That makes it an 83% SAVINGS!!
Let me know if you have Macys questions…I will try to answer them all
Total: -$1.85!!!!

This is my very 1st 100% savings!!!!! I never expected to do this good at Kroger! ok heres what I did
(3) Febreze noticeables on sale for $1.70 (this is the buy 4 get $ off P&G items)
-less (3) $3 off coupons from P&G 8/28
(1) Gillette body wash on sale $1.99
-less (1) $2 off coupon 7/31 P&G
(2) Becchnut rice cereal $1.58
-less (2) $.75 off coupons printable from Smartsource
Total -$1.82!!!!
the cashier ended up accidently cashing me out before I could add something in to eat up that $1.82 and it didn’t print me out a reciept (she has no idea why it didn’t) so when she went back to try and bring up the whole transaction again it wouldn’t work. I told her not to worry about the $1.82 walking out of a store and paying nothing was good enough for me! I honestly wasn’t expecting my blance to be 0 let alone a negative balance. My kroger is not the best place to coupon and they usually adjust the coupons down to make the item free and not give you overage…I just got lucky this time! Seriously this has made my week!
99% Savings At Shop Rite !!!
Posted in: Other, The Brag Lounge // Comments (7)
Ok, I am not usually a bragger but I just had to post for this one! I do most of my shopping at Shop Rite because it is right by my house. They double manufacture coupons up to .99, or say a product is .77 and your coupon is .50 off then they will double the coupon to .77. They do not allow cash back if your coupons give a negative balance. So you just need a cheap filler item!
Below are the items, and their sale price next to them.
Fanta Orange 1.25 liter = .99
Coca Cola Classic 1.25 liter = .99
Dr Pepper 1.25 liter = .99
Coca Cola Classic 1.25 liter = .99
Seagrams Ginger Ale 1.25 liter = .99
Hunts Ketchup = .88
Golds Mustard = .99
Golds Mustard = .99
Guldens Mustard = .99
Flix Mix Theater Candy = 1.00
Eggo Waffles = .99
Eggo Waffles = .99
Colgate Baking Soda/Peroxide 4.0 oz = .77
Colgate Luminous Crystal 4.0 oz = .77
Colgate Baking Soda/Peroxide 4.0 oz = .77
Colgate White Mint 4.0 oz = .77
Below are the coupons I used…
Hunts Ketchup .25, doubled to .50
(4) Any Colgate toothpaste 4.0 oz or larger .50 doubled to .77, .77×4= $3.08
