Couponing: Make Up

Recently, Publix made the announcement that they were no longer carrying CoverGirl cosmetics. What does that mean?  CLEARANCE SALE!!!

There were coupons galore on CoverGirl that were high dollar values = bonus!

Here is what I got:

4 eye shadow palettes $2.44 each

2 blush pallets $1.99 each

I used 4 coupons for a CoverGirl eye product that were $3 each.

I, also, used 2 coupons for a face product that were $1.50 each.

Here is the total:

4 eye shadows @$2.44 each = $9.76

-4 ($3) coupons

= $-2.44

2 blush @1.99 each = $3.98

2 ($1.50) coupons

= $0.98

The total is -$1.46. So now what? Publix gave me a gift card for the overage. I will be back in Publix that same week so that’ll go towards my next transaction.

Because I use various types of shopping apps, I submitted receipts at Checkout51 (see previous post on Checkout 51) for these products. They were giving $1 per CoverGirl product (quantity 5 maximum). The result is that I got back $5 from Checkout51 in addition to the $1.46 from Publix.

Sometimes you win at adulting!
