All this for a Twank!

Twank (adj): slang for twenty dollars ($20). *I may be a High School teacher, a couponer, & mother to a baby (aka: a baby mama), but I've still got some street cred!*


This includes: seven 24 packs of Nestle Pure Life water (2 are not pictured- they will be redeemed at a later date when the free rebates come in!), five 12 packs of Dr. Pepper (well, 3 are Diet. And those are for Casey- I'm so screwed when I'm no longer nursing Ada, I will have to switch back to Diet and I won't be happy!), & a bunch of bananas (those weren't on sale, so I didn't get a lot..just a bunch. Ha haaaaaaaa!).


That comes out to a whopping average of $1.53 each. It almost costs that to buy only one bottle of water or one can of coke!


To see how I did it, go to www.southwestcouponclipper.blogspot.com. Now, part of the deal was via a Randall's promo which ended last night- but you can still print some coupons for the water and the Pure Life rebates (2 free cases w/ the purchase of 5!).


*2 strollers and vehicle not included in purchase.*

Oh yes I did....

...get $90 of stuff for $38 (in multiple places, on different days)!!!! After getting some beginner's tips from Tiffany, clipping coupons for a few weeks, and following these blogs and websites-

-I am able to match my coupons to the best sales in town to get things dirt cheap! So far I'm mastering CVS (where you earn Extra Care Bucks), and Kroger (where they double and triple coupons). Right now, I'm building a "stockpile" of non-perishables- but I'm already starting to see some savings! Once school begins in August, I won't be able to be chasing deals as often, but I will hopefully have enough in my stockpile and pantry that I can just snag what I can on our weekend grocery trips. :) Here are some pictures of my steals! (Not pictured: 2 free boxes of Kashi cereals from Target- "purchased" using coupons!)
