Racked up some great coupon savings at Walgreens this week! I used register rewards from last week along with coupons on sale items. I purchased personal care and grocery items which would normally retail for $30.65, for just $8.68 out of pocket. From today's purchases I received $6.00 back in register rewards, making my actual cost $2.68, for a total savings of just over 91%! I continued my savings spree at the grocery store, where I saved a handy 50% on food purchases. I bought enough food at the store to make 6 meals for a total of $3.00 or 50 cents per meal!
Picked up coupon booklets from my neighbor and a St. Louis Sunday paper to restock my coupon binder. I spent $2 on the newspaper and got close to $100 in coupons! Even if I only use 1/4th of the coupons I clip, what a phenomenal return on a $2 investment. Wouldn't it be great if you could regularly do so well with stocks?
This is why I get so excited about coupons. If you spend $2 on a newspaper and get $25 in coupons that you actually use, that works out to a whopping 1250% return on your original investment! What's even more amazing is that this is an instant 1250%, meaning if you repeated this each week just imagine what your annualized return would be. The $2 per week would total $104 per year. Multiply 52 weeks x $25 in usable coupons each week and you've managed to increase your original $104 buying power to $1300, or $108.33 per month on average.
