Drugstore Makeup

HAPPY SUNDAY!
Today is coupon day at my house. Well, fighting for coupons that is. My Mom, sister, and I usually race to the mailbox. It's all about finding the best 2 x 2 cutout in a stack of hundreds.. awesome.. not. 

I decided to search for beauty products coupons. There were no stand-outs in the paper; however if you like got2be hair products, there is a $2 off coupon. I decided to take a different route and I began looking at drug store ads. Walgreens and RiteAid are usually where I can find good deals on makeup, which I could always use. 

Since I save coupons until they are expired, I had several makeup ones available. To get the best deals, match up coupons with already sale priced items. The price will be reduced twice at checkout, which is an awesome feeling!

Here is what I matched up in the Walgreens ad:



When you go to a drugstore for makeup, never buy full price. It's crazy how much they can overcharge you. So here is how I did got my makeup for less:

First, if Walgreens has a Rewards system. USE IT! If you buy 1 Almay product, you get $4 back, easy. To top that sale off, I had a $2 coupon.


After that transaction, I had $4 on my Rewards card. You can use that money immediately on another transaction. Covergirl makeup was also on sale this week for buy 1 get one 50% off. I bought two items, one being 50% off. Then, I used my $4 Rewards from the Almay transaction and added a $3 off 2 Covergirl products coupon that I had from last weeks paper.


Coupons, coupons, coupons. It's how I save money, money, money.

Drugstore makeup is always on sale, just try to match up those coupons with the sale items.
