PITA needed slippers real bad. How bad? Glad you asked. Her current slippers merited a warning letter from DCFS…
Drove over to Walmart to see what I could find. What I found was a slipper clearance, seven Gold Bond skin creams and a couple of Almay makeup removers. You can see where we’re going with this, right? Used seven of the $1 coupons from 2/3 rp on the 97¢ tubes and the $5/2 Almay IP on the $1.14 removers. I would have taken more to eliminate any slipper cost, but this was all they had. But never fear, there’s always another Walmart!
Here’s the Almay coupon again – it’s a sweet one. Print out the Rimmel one to save on ink: The Almay will print over the entire page otherwise. Remember, you can print two copies per computer.
How does the Gold Bond work towards bringing down the cost of the slippers?
Gold Bond doesn’t because it’s 97 cents and the 3 cents overage goes to high tax. The Almay is the real beauty here, so even if it’s a donation item, it’s giving you 72 cents overage (less tax) for each set of two products (one coupon).
I was hoping I missed the post that Illinois became a post-coupon tax state.
Good point. I wouldn’t have posted it ’cause I’d be too busy shopping! I believe the closest tax haven state around here is MIchigan…but then they sock you for the can deposits.
