So in this video today
we are going to be going couponing.
So if you're not familiar with what this is
when I was younger I used to do all kinds of couponing
I watched that Extreme Couponing show on TLC
and I thought it was really awesome
how people would go to stores,
you know using coupons
and be getting stuff for pennies on the dollar
or in some cases getting it for free.
So I actually spent the morning lining up some deals here
for some different offers we can take advantage of
and we're gonna be getting some products that are actually
going to be 100% free and then some of them are just going
to be slightly discounted.
Now as far as the coupons go,
I printed all of these ones online,
there's like many different sites where you can get them.
And as far as finding the matchups,
I used a site called The Krazy Coupon Lady
which I will link up in the description below.
I'm not somebody who uses coupons other than doing
this video just because it is kind of time consuming
and not really the best use of my time.
But certainly when I was in a position
and I had to you know save every penny I could,
using coupons is one of the easiest ways
to save money on products that you actually need.
So just to give you guys an idea,
this is basically what these coupons look like.
I printed them off on my computer,
some of them allow you to print
two of the same coupon some don't.
So for example,
this Purell coupon, I was able to print two different ones.
And then these are essentially what the matchups look like.
I just took the ones that I wanted to take advantage of
and I typed them out on a document and printed them out.
And so now we're going to go to Walmart, CVS and Wallgreens
and hopefully they have these items in stock.
And then we can take advantage of these deals.
So we're on our way to our first stop now
which is going to be CVS
and it is really interesting because like I said
I used to do couponing back when I was about 16 years old.
And at that point in time actually my mom and I
and my brother were living together
and we were actually on food stamps at that point in time
and so we really didn't have much wiggle room
in the budget for groceries and supplies
so it was really important to like make the most of every
dollar that we had.
And so for me, you know doing the couponing was a way for us
to get maybe some name brand products
that we wouldn't ordinarily be able to afford
and it was also a way to kind of you know
help out my mom and you know support my family.
So I mean, luckily now I'm in a position where obviously
I don't have to do couponing
and it's honestly not the best use of your time
if you are you know doing other stuff in terms
of you know making more money.
But if you are trying to save money,
I still think it's one of the easiest
things you can start doing
to start you know working on your budget
and not be spending as much money.
All right guys so we just got to CVS,
here we're pretty much just buying two things here,
one, we're buying the Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil
which sounds kind of weird
but it's basically going to be costing us next to nothing
and then I'm going to be buying some Tide detergent
and some Tide Pods and actually at the end of this video
we're gonna end up probably donating most of the stuff
maybe ill keep some of the Tide, maybe not.
But just for, obviously I don't need Rimmel makeup
but you know somebody out there may
so it's a good item to bring to a shelter for donation.
(upbeat music)
I don't even know where to start
that's Revlon, but that's not what I'm looking for
The Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil,
it's um, it's $2.97, it should be
I can look through here and see the coupon for it
So we need to do - what have we got - Tide Pods
- [Camera Man] It says 90 to 100 count
- [Ryan] Is this good?
and then a...
Perfect.
All right so that's it.
All right so we just finished up our trip to CVS
we found everything we were looking for which was awesome.
So in total we spent $20.10
and then we got $10 back in Extra Bbucks
which is literally just like a $10 giftcard
I can use for anything at CVS
and so product wise,
I ended up getting a 100 ounce bottle of Tide
as well as the two eyebrow pencils
which like I said,
these were basically free when you factor in that Extra Buck
so these are just going to be a donation
and then small package here of the Tide Pods.
All right guys we are now at stop number two, Walgreens
and on our list is some Purell hand sanitizer,
we're gonna get two Nestle single-serve candy bars
and then one thing of Purex detergent.
Now two of these coupons should be stored on my phone
under my phone number.
Hopefully they can retrieve those
'cause actually with Walgreens
they don't give you printable coupons,
they do them online through your phone.
But yeah, if not then I'll at least be able to get that
Purell hand sanitizer.
So let's go ahead and see what they have in stock.
Oh here we go, 39 cents for the Butterfingers
So these are originally $3.79,
they're on sale for $1.99 and we have a $1 off coupon
so these are literally gonna cost us 99 cents.
This is gonna be cheapest one,
we literally spent $3.71
when I go home ill go through a more comprehensive list
of what everything cost. But I just wanted to show you guys
what we ended up picking up.
First of all we got this bottle of Purex detergent
and then we got, not one but two Purell hand sanitizers
which obviously it is going to be a great item to donate
for back to school season
and then two Butterfinger candy bars
all for like three dollars and 70 cents.
All right guys we're at spot number three now
which is Walmart.
Got like five items to grab here and then that's gonna
wrap up our little couponing session
and then we'll go back to my place and lay everything out
and go through the dollar amount of what I paid
for everything I picked up today.
So this is gonna be literally totally free 'cause it's
$2.97 and we got $3 off.
Oh no this is the one right here.
That one's $2.88.
All right guys so we are back
from our first ever couponing experience.
If you guys are still sticking around
at this point in the video
make sure you drop a Like for the YouTube algorithm.
That simple act really does help out and allows these
videos to get shared with other people out there.
But that being said,
this is what we got in front of us here.
I'm gonna go through item by item
and talk about how much we paid for these things
and at the end,
we're gonna total it all up
and talk about how much we paid
versus what all this stuff is worth
and then at the end you ultimately can decide
whether or not couponing seems to be worth it for you.
So right off the bat here,
let's start with CVS cause
that was the first place we went to
and we bought these two Rimmel Eyebrow Pencils,
now like I said I'm gonna donate these
cause I have literally absolutely no use for these
but these were $4.69 per item
and I had a $3 off coupon
and then after we bought them I also got a $5 Extra Buck
so essentially we paid $6.38
and then we got $5 back
so it was about $1.38 for two eyebrow pencils
that we're going to donate.
Okay so next up from CVS we bought this bottle of Tide
as well of the Tide Pods both of which were on sale
so starting off with the 100 ounce bottle of Tide
it was $9.94 being the sale price
and then we had a coupon for $2 off
so it was actually costing us only $7.74
Then this one is actually an even better deal,
it was originally $7.29 on sale for $4.94,
a $3 off coupon, this ended up costing us $1.94
and then by buying those two products
we ended up with another $5 Extra Buck
so this cost about somewhere around $6
for two things of Tide.
So all in from CVS
for the two eyebrow pencils and the Tide,
we ended up spending $20.10,
got $10 back immediately
so for the two things of tide and the two eyebrow pencils
it cost us $10.10.
Okay so next stop we went to Walgreens
and that is where we got the two things of
hand sanitizer as well as the Purex laundry detergent
and the two Butterfingers.
So these right here were originally $3.79 a piece,
on sale for $1.99 and then we had $1 off coupon
so we paid 99 cents for each one of these hand sanitizers.
Next up the two Butterfingers here,
these were 39 cents a piece for a total of 78 cents
and then we had a 50 cent off coupon.
So those two Butterfingers cost us 28 cents,
or 14 cents a piece for a candy bar
that originally sells for probably somewhere around
you know 99 cents for retail value.
And then the third item here,
this Purex laundry detergent,
this was on sale for $1.98 and then we had a $1 off coupon
so this was a total of 98 cents.
So in total at Walgreens,
we spent $3.71 for the laundry detergent,
two hand sanitizers and two Butterfingers.
And then finally we went to Walmart,
now we actually did really well at the other places,
we found everything we were looking for.
But at Walmart, we missed out on two items.
There was supposed to be a Command hook
that was gonna be 97 cents,
we just couldn't find it
and I really had no use for that anyway
so I didn't use that coupon.
I would've ended up having to pay
like 50 cents for one instead.
So we didn't buy that,
and then the S & W beans we were gonna get,
they didn't carry that brand here in New York
but we ended up getting the Bic razors,
the Persil laundry detergent
and then this eye shadow here.
So as far as the Bic razors go,
these were $2.88, used a $2 off coupon
so this ran us 88 cents.
This laundry detergent was $4.94,
we had a $3 off coupon
so this only cost us $1.94.
And this actually they paid us 3 cents
to leave the store with
which is kind of crazy
but the eye shadow was $2.97,
we used a $3 coupon,
so we actually got a 3 cent credit
towards the purchase of the other items.
So our grand total from Walmart was $3.55.
Okay so starting off with Walmart here,
the retail value of these three items is $10.79,
what we paid was $2.79 so we saved 75%.
Next up with Walgreens here,
the retail value of these items was $16.35
and we paid $3.24
so we saved 80%.
And then finally with CVS here,
the retail value was $33.16,
we paid $10.10 when you factor in the Extra Bucks
which I'll use to buy stuff I was gonna already buy
so that was 70% savings.
Okay so the grand total here
for all the items that we bought
was $60.30,
we ended up paying $16.13
for everything you see here,
meaning that we saved 73% by printing out coupons
and buying the stuff with coupons.
So at the end of the day,
most of the items that I bought here are actually
things I'm going to use,
I'll probably hold on to all this laundry detergent
because I don't really care at the end of the day
what brand that I use.
Obviously, I'm going to donate the razors,
I'm gonna donate the hand sanitizer,
I'm gonna donate the candy bars
as well as the makeup.
But that's the thing with couponing,
is as long as you're buying stuff
that you're actually going to use,
it can be a really effective way to save money.
I mean I average probably at least
50 to 60 percent off retail on laundry detergent
which is something that we are using every single day.
Or at least every single week
depending on when you do laundry.
And the other thing is too,
because I used to do a ton of couponing with my mom,
you could almost always get body wash, deodorant,
toothpaste, toiletries for free.
So if you wait for the right deals
and you save your coupons up,
you can literally be walking out of the store
with free products.
I mean for example, we took this out of Walmart for a
3 cent profit as crazy as that sounds.
But anyways guys that's gonna wrap up this video.
Is couponing worth it?
In my opinion, absolutely.
But is it the best use of my time,
probably not just because
you know, to save $45, it took me about two hours
and I could just spend my time you know
focusing on creating videos or creating blog content
that'll ultimately make me more money.
But if you are in a position where you know,
you are saving every penny
or like I was, when I was 16,
we were using food stamps
trying to make the most of the money.
That is when couponing really does make sense,
and it doesn't take a lot of effort,
I literally just printed coupons off the internet
went on The Krazy Coupon Lady to match up deals,
made up a little list and went shopping
and you know saved 73%.
Thanks so much for watching this video,
I hope you enjoyed it.
