i was $13 away from a $20 reward certificate, so i did some research to see what i could get and not spend $13 on.
i bought 2 deodorants, a bottle of 100-count advil, and a bottle of cough and cold robitussin. i spent under $10 with printable coupons, in-store ad coupons, sale prices and clipped coupons from inserts inserts.
i got a $10 certificate for the advil promo, and a $20 certificate for the winter rewards promo. not bad! $30 in rewards, and I spent under $10 for items retailing for $23 plus tax.
i wish i had the time and energy to extreme coupon like those maniacs on TV. sadly, the only places that you can do that sort of thing is at the drug stores. too bad i dont have a harris teeter or similar nearby. local supermarkets don't usually double manufacturer coupons.
