This is over $115 worth of merchandise for FREE even if you don't use any coupons. I plan to use the following coupons to increase my savings:

• (2) $1.00 Colgate manufacturer's coupons
• (1) $1.00 Colgate CVS coupon
  
• (2) $1.00 Aussie manufacturer's coupons
  
• (2) $3.00 Bic Soleil manufactuer's coupons
• (1) $5.00 CVS Coupon for spending $30 or more
• 
  

My coupons will give me an extra $16 in savings, or as I like to put it, CVS is paying me $16 to take 21 great products home!

Make sure you stop by CVS to pick up your bargains as well. Your budget will love you for it. If you don't think that taking advantage of these deals is "worth the hassle", think of it this way - a savings of $131 translates into approximately 23 hours of work for anyone making minimum wage. How many hours would you have to work to make $131 after taxes?
