Panera Bread

I ♥ Panera Bread!

I just wanted to tell you about the Panera rewards program and it’s awesome. As soon as you register your My Panera card online (or sign up if you don’t have one yet), get a FREE Panera Bread pastry or sweet or Free Espresso Drink/Smoothie on your next visit!
The coupons are automatically loaded on your card so you don’t even have to print it. If you don’t have a card yet you’ll get a temporary one to print and use.

~Walmart~I bought 2 Benadryl Itch Relief Sticks @ $2.38 each(Bugs are already bitting me this summer, I must be extra sweet ;p).I used 2- $2 off coupons from RP 6/19.

So, 38 cents each!

~RiteAid~ I bought a Colgate 360 Surround toothbrush @ $2.99 and a Crest Advantage toothbrush which came with bonus travel size toothpaste @ $2.57.I used a .40 off colgate coupon & $1 off crest coupon.OOP was $4.59 including tax(but I used UpRewards from a previous purchase so MY OOP was only tax the .59),then I got back 2-$2 UpRewards..total after is .59 for both!The .40 off Colgate coupon was from SS 6/26 the $1 off Crest coupon was from a May P&G mailer.

 
  So, I finally started my blog! I am soooo excited! My goal is to post my daily shopping trips telling you what coupons I used, where I went, my OOP, and savings! I am going to be explaining what insert the coupon came from (RP,SS or P&G) and what date the insert came! I hope to make it more simple for others to save money! I am not an "Extreme Couponer", those individuals irritate me.I am a Couponista! Happy Couponing! :)
