There were some deals on Kimberly Clark products at CVS and Walgreens this month, so now I have so much toilet paper, I don't know where to store it all! At Walgreens, it was “buy $20 of Kimberly Clark products, get $10 back.” After the coupons and MIR (mail-in rebate), the 5 12-pack double rolls of Cottonelle and Scott toilet paper will have cost $7. That is not including the toilet paper I bought at CVS last week for the “spend $40 on these specific products and get $20 back” deal for which I got 4 more 12-pack double rolls of Cottonelle and 4 8-packs of Irish Spring soap, which, after subtracting the coupons, comes to $2.00 per pack of Cottonelle or Irish Spring! What a steal! You certainly can’t get it that cheap at Walmart! Ah, it's nice not to have to use generic.
I feel like I'm shelling out a lot of cash, but the truth is that it's only a lot up front, and a ton of savings in the longrun since I won't have to buy all these things for months. I used to hate that the food stamps we got couldn't be used towards household things like TP, soap, detergent, etc. But now that I've gotten into this Coupon Game, it's not so bad. I'm pretty confident we can make our student loans stretch beyond the semester this way.
