The following shopping trips were submitted by Alisha:
After finding great “Pick Up The Values” coupons from Kimberly-Clark, I printed them out and spent some time taking advantage of Ibotta offers this weekend. I found some great deals and was able to get 10 items for free (after “Pick Up The Values” coupons, and before tax).
Here’s what I bought at Target:
Huggies Diapers – $8.97 – Used $2.50 coupon
Huggies Wipes – $1.97 – Used $0.50 coupon
Paid (after coupons) = $7.94 I received $4.25 back from Ibotta (individual offers and $2.00 for buying two Huggies items in the same transaction). Net Cost = $3.69
Here’s what I bought at Walmart:
Viva Paper Towels 8-pk – $8.97 – Used $1.00 coupon
Scott Extra Soft Toilet Paper – $5.97 – Used $1.00 coupon
Kleenex 3-Pack – $4.47 – Used $1.00 coupon
Kotex U Tampons – $3.78 – Used $1.50 coupon
Poise Pads – $2.72 – Used $1.00 coupon
Depends – $4.97 – Used $2.00 coupon
Pull-Ups Training Pants – $8.97 – Used $2.00 coupon
Scott Flushable Wipes – $1.96
Paid (after coupons) = $32.31 I received $36.25 back from Ibotta (individual offers, $3.00 for buying Kleenex, Scott, and Viva in one transaction, $5.00 for buying two products on two different days, and $20.00 for buying 10 items total). Net Cost = Like making $3.94!
After the two shopping trips, I made $0.25 and everything but the Depends are items we use.

No matter how bad economic times are, there are some things we need to (or want to) buy — whether we can find a great deal or not. Of course, it’s always a pleasant surprise when we find these things for less than expected!
Whether you’re buying necessities, or simply things that make life better, everyone loves bargains… right?
Here are 10 ideas to help you find bargains on those unexpected items.
1. Airfare
It’s good advice to buy airline tickets in the morning, before business travelers start shopping. Buy tickets as far out as possible before your travel date as they are cheaper and probably won’t change much in price. Saturdays are good days to fly while Sundays and Thursdays are often the most expensive.
2. Event Tickets
When clubs or theaters have unsold seats, they rely on websites like Goldstar or resellers like Stubhub to fill those seats. Great deals are available — especially close to, or on the day of the show. Some of the hottest events can now be seen inexpensively.
3. Coffee
For some, coffee is a MUST in the morning, or all day. However, expensive brands aren’t always better. Cheaper brands like Dunkin’ Donuts are popular and sell for less than brews from couture coffee houses like Starbucks. Better yet, buy the beans and brew your own at home.
4. Prescription Eyeglasses
If you have a prescription from the last time you saw your eye doctor, use it to order inexpensive glasses from Eye Buy Direct. When you’re using glasses as a complement to contacts, it “pays” to spend less on them! Prices begin around $40.
5. Gift Cards
Find unused gift cards cheaper at websites like Plastic Jungle. Many options are available at an average of 15% off — so, for example, you could get a $100 gift card for only $85. Now that’s smart!
6. Computer Software
Websites like Royal Discount sell new software (that is guaranteed to work) at bargain prices. Students love getting deals on things like software, so they have extra money for the really important things.
7. Cosmetics
Websites like Noveau Cheap help fashionistas find all the best deals in one easy-to-search spot. Look your best every day, for less.
8. Clothing
Ladies clothing is available for bargain prices when you know where to look. Places like the 10 Dollar Mall and 6pm help shoppers find prices that are up to 75% off.
9. Designer Shoes
Everyone needs shoes, right? Bluefly, 6pm, and Zappo’s are great places to find deals — when you want great looks at lower prices, you’ll be amazed at what you might find.
10. Sunglasses
Places like Sunglass Hut and Sharp Shades are great places to find amazing deals on designer-inspired sunglasses.
See, there are bargains everywhere!
Bargain hunting has never been more fun or exciting. Since you might buy many of these things anyway, why not be smart and save as much as possible?
Saving money is always such a great feeling!
Jamie is a not a mom but a sister of two younger brothers. As the oldest in the house, she always felt the need to help out by taking on an extra job searching for the occasional deals. Since her recent move to Colorado, Jamie fell in love with hiking. She also loves live music, spending as much time with the family as possible and puppies (who doesn't – smiley face!)
