I used $30.59 just in coupons. Then, $20 +UP (from Resolution Reward), 2-$5 +UP, $2 +UP, and $1 +UP which brought my total down to $0.85! Now one thing I must say, I had a blessing in disguise when my $20 Winter Reward didn't print a couple months ago. I had to contact the corporate office so when the +UP reward was finally sent to me, it was post-dated and split into smaller denominations which is where the 2-$5 and $2 +UP rewards came from. Ordinarily, you would have to spend all $20 in one shopping trip.
Then upon checkout, I received $9.88 in +UP rewards and had earned my 125 pt 10% off one-time shopping pass good towards my next visit. I also received a survey code good for $3/15 purchase (after completing online survey). Add the remaining $5 +UP left of my Winter Rewards and it looks like I'll be getting more stuff for free next week too! This doesn't even include the $7 I'll get back from the Lysol and Keri lotion rebates.
As you can see, I'm very excited about all the money I saved this trip. But my motivation for posting about it is to share with you how you can save money too! Clipping coupons takes a little time but once you've got the hang of it, it's well worth the little bit of extra effort! See just how much you can save this week or wait until next week!
