Well, this past week I had an opportunity to do a little shopping and actually receive an overage. What is an overage, you ask? An overage is when you have a coupon that is worth more than the sale item. For example if an item was on sale for $1.25 but you have a coupon for $2 off, you will recieve the item for free (taxes not included) and get $0.75 back. That's like getting paid to shop! Here's my overage story for this week:
I learned that Walmart had Iams trial size dry dog food, Gilette Foam Shaving Cream trial size and Clorox Bleach on sale.
I had collected from my friends, family and neighbours all the coupon inserts they don't use and had 1 coupon for the bleach, 4 for the dog food and 5 for the shaving cream.
Put it together and this is what happened:
1x Bleach: $1.47 1x Coupon: $1.00 off Actual Cost: $0.47
4x Dog food: $1.73 4x Coupon: $2.00 off Actual Cost: -$1.08
15x Gilette: $1.27 5x Coupon: $5.00 WUB3* Actual Cost: -$5.95
Subtotal: -$6.56
HST (13%) $3.57
Cash Tend -$2.99
So I walked out with all that product and a little change in my pocket. A trip that was definitely worth it!
Please share with me any of your own overage stories. I would love to hear them.
