The Frugal Fairy // Smart Shopping, I saved $19 with coupons!

 I want to be more conscious with my spending and I’ve started couponing! I got all the coupons from inserts in the Sunday paper. I spent an afternoon cutting them up. I put all of them in my purse, then went to the store.

I took $40 cash so I wouldn’t get carried away. I got my cart and went to the clearance section to see if I could use any of my coupons, then the makeup isle for some concealer and mascara, two items I was out of.

I saved $19 on products I needed and good brands! When I got home I scanned my receipt into an app called Fetch and Ibotta.

I got .25 cents back from shopping at Family Dollar using Ibotta and 1,333 points for buying certain brands on Fetch. (Pro Tip: use my code 𝗛𝗪𝟳𝗚𝟵𝟮  for your first 2,000 points!) It’s not much, but it’s good to know I’m getting something back from shopping.
