Top Ten Tuesday: Products I Refuse to Pay For

March 30, 2010 by Amy

It’s no shock I love coupons.  You may not be convinced that it’s worth the time but I thought I’d list out things that I haven’t paid for in over two years that I’ve been couponing.  (Here’s one of my favorite deals) Also, here’s a peek into my closet space where I store these things.  I like to call it my personal mini-CVS.  This is just half the closet and I give away bags of free stuff regularly.

So here’s what I refuse to pay for these days…

  1. Razors.  Even the fancy battery operated, refill required ones.
  2. Tylenol.  Brand name!
  3. Cold Medicine
  4. Body Wash
  5. Lotion
  6. Shampoo/conditioner
  7. Sunless tanning lotion
  8. Deodorant
  9. Cleaner (almost any kind…toilet,bleach spray, etc)
  10. Toothbrush/toothpaste

If I bought just one of each of those at full price, that list would total nearly $60!  I’ll go ahead and plug moneysavingmom.com.  I learned everything from Crystal!  And the thing is, that doesn’t even touch the grocery store!  That’s just health and beauty products from CVS!  I get so excited; can you tell from the exclamation marks!?!

    I really need to get better at grocery coupons. I do really well on triple coupons but that usually gets us stuff outside our normal list.

    Wow! Razors? That's great b/c they are expensive. I need to learn.

    Yep! Zero! At most I’ll pay $1 for an entire set of stuff for taxes.

    oh just be careful with tanning lotions because some of them are cancerous too, avoid using chemical based tanning lotions ”
