Project 365- Day 48

I am sure everyone is sick of hearing about my husband but I have to give credit where credit is due. He is not a perfect person by any stretch of the imagination but he tries.
Today he not only took the baby to her swimming lesson so I could work on our bills and budget, but he also endured couponing for me at Rite Aid, while I talked him through the process on the phone.
True love.

I had two coupons I really wanted to use to maximize our savings, a $4 off $20 purchase, and a $5 rewards from shopping in December. I am still pretty new to this all and I thought I had read somewhere that you can only use two of those coupons together if they have different letters in their code and these were the same.
But then I realized, I could have him do two separate transactions. What a patient man, and with a very fussy toddler in his arms too.
The first transaction was $12.84 after coupons, and the second transaction was 97 cents after coupons. The total out of pocket was $13.81 but we also made $12 in UP+ rewards to use next time we shop.
So the total cost of all those items if you include the UP+ rewards was $1.81!!
I love coupons and I honestly don't know how people can shop without them!
That's a savings of around 95 percent!
Why did I ever pay full price?
