The "Triple Play"

Would you believe I bought all four of these for nearly NOTHING?

Yep, The key to saving BIG is to watch for the "lowest sales price" for an item then using a coupon along with the sale. (Some stores will allow you to "stack" coupons to save even more.)

This is what I call a "Triple Play" purchase. Think of baseball game.
First, this product was on sale at my local store. (single hit) I also had a Manufacturer's coupon (MFQ) on this item (Double Play+) AND...my local store takes competitor's coupons! Giving me a "Triple Play"

Here's how it worked out:
$02.00 ea. (2/$4.00)
-$00.35 (MFQ)
-$00.35 (store's doubling coupon policy)
-$01.25 (competitor's coupon $2.50 off on 2)
--------
$00.05 (This is what I actually paid for this item, so I was able to buy more for the rediculous price of FIVE CENTS each!!!
