Cheap Sunscreen!!

I was tempted to call this post Wishing and Hoping and Thinking and Praying....about SUN! Enough with my daydreaming...

I know many family members and friends have asked me to help them learn the ins and outs of coupons. I know (and remember exactly) how overwhelming it can be. Here is a SUPER easy couponing deal you can do...heck anyone can do it!

OOP= Out of Pocket

Fred Meyers May 22-28 Hurry!!

(3)Banana Boat sunscreen $8.99
Total before coupons        $26.97(+tax)
(3)In-store Mfr. coupon  - $4.00 Found hanging by the bottles on the shelf.
Total OOP                       $14.97(+tax)

Here is where it gets exciting!! Banana Boat has a Catalina deal going on(until June 4th). Catalinas are those coupons that print out after you make a purchase. Most people just throw them away...DON'T! I've gotten so many free items and awesome coupons, PLUS some give you $$ for your next purchase! Back to Banana Boat... If you spend $25 on certain products you get a Catalina back for $10 off your next purchase...of ANYTHING!

Total OOP   $14.97(+tax)
Catalina      $10.00
Like paying $4.97(+ tax) for 3 bottles of Sunblock!!!

fabulessly frugal has a similar post about this Catalina deal but with last weeks Fred Meyer coupon...so a MUCH better deal this week!!

** Also, I found a display full of the sunscreen over by the diapers and feminine hygiene but the coupons were where you would find it on the actual shelf**
