It wasn't a typical "Dumpster Dive" per say....but I did map out a plan the minute I got my own mail today. I received the $10 off $10 Coupon for JCPenney and also a "SmartMarket" Coupon Insert that featured a $1.00 off any 1 Purex Laundry Detergent and a $1.00 off any 1 Soft Scrub Product.
The $10 off $10 at JCPenney Coupons are a no brainer-all you pay is sales tax for an item $10 or less.
The $1.00 off Purex Laundry Detergent is a rare coupon and this detergent goes on sale often. This week at Rite Aid it is on BOGO FREE Sale for $5.99. 2 of the Coupons in this mailer will make that 2 Purex Laundry Detergents for just $3.99 ($1.99 each). Combine those with any Transaction Coupons such as the $3 off $15 Survey or the Video Values $1 off Transaction Coupons and I'm at my rock bottom stockpile price when split into separate transactions.
So, I knew needed more! And knowing how most people throw out what they consider "junk mail", I knew that the trash cans at the post office would be overflowing with free money for me *SMILES*
There is also nothing but "junk mail" in these trash cans, but I gloved up anyways.
So here's my score....
Total of (11) eleven of the $10 off $10 Coupons for JCPenney = that's $110 FREE Items for me, I'll just pay sales tax.
Total of (45)Forty Five Coupon Inserts with the $1 off Purex and $1 off Soft Scrub Coupons.
Yippeeee!!! I can't wait to hit the stores tomorrow!
So, have you or would you ever consider "Dumpster Diving" for High Value or Rare Coupons ?

where did you do this dumpster diving?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to do that at the post office. Never thought of that before. Yes, I would do it, but I'd want someone to go with me, I'm a weanie!! You're making me want to go to the post office tonight. Too bad it is storming with a chance of tornadoes!! At least I got my one JCP coupon!
ReplyDeleteAt the post office - there are trash cans beside each area where people sort their mail and throw away what they don't want :D

I'm in an apartment complex and people are always throwing away their "junk mail" in the trashcans that they provide in the mail area. Therefore we are always on the look out for coupons that we need and can use.
ReplyDeleteThe one that we love is when Kohl's sends out their coupons for % off, and the $10 off $10 purchase. When the latter coupon is around, we often can find anywhere from 20-30 of those in the trashcans. I think this past summer, we outfitted my two daughters and myself for the school year for less than $40 (there were a pair of shoes and two pairs of jeans that made it so high).
We haven't gone for the big dumpsters yet. But I'm sure we'll look at it this summer. Thanks for the encouragement.
awh, I'd love to have gotten a JC Penny's coupon. What insert was it in. I'd go dumpster diving for high value coupons; however, the post office in my town has a lock on the trash can. :( Which is good for identity theafs but bad for couponers.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that is awesome. I wonder if I can get my sisters to help me. I too would be a chicken to go by myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's legal right?
Wow, good for you. Hope you enjoy the free clothes at Penny's. Way to go.
I really don't have anywhere to go to do it, but I would if there was a place nearby.
ReplyDeleteI actually stumbled into diving...I went to recycle our newspapers the other day and there were tons of inserts on top!! I grabbed as many I I could reach! They were awesome!My MIL and I share coupons! I also got a TON of box tops for school! Thinking this could be a weekly trip! :)
ReplyDeleteI <3 COUPONING!
