Couponing Newbie

Okay so I been couponing lately. As you may or may not know I am currently unemployed...boo...But I have been able to spend more time with my babies, work on school and coupon. I have been able to find some really good deals and started following some ig'ers that are umber couponers. I am not extreme though. I just want to start a mini stock pile that can cover 3-6 months. I figure if I am not able to bring money into the household I can save as much of it as I can.

So things I learned in my short week of couponing. Lingo and boy is it confusing but it makes for easy explanation later.

Coupons=qs
Rolling= Using more than on transaction to take advantage of a larger deal.
Filler=using an item to fill to meet a requirement of a deal.
$/I=cost off /how many

So now that we have finished your algebra lesson for the day I will show you some deals I have completed.

Dollar General

I went in after seeing a post from IG couponer kimoralee_of_coupons

I purchased 5 $3 packs of soap totaling $15. I then used the $3/15 from DG website. Then I used 2-$2/2 Oil of olay soap packs and 1-$1/1 Olay coupon.

I had my transaction plan ready bc I didn't want to take a super long time and it still took like 5 minutes. Well I calculated $7 for the soap but there was a glitch or something because when the soap was rung up it automatically took off $.75. I added the Blistex as a filler to equal $15. So u can see the receipt.

I also have a 2 haul I will post tomorrow
