Candy bars

[Mime454]

My mom has recently taken up "extreme Couponing". I find it embarrassing, but I can't deny the results. How much do you think all these candy bars cost? I'll reveal in 24 hours.

 

[hierodula]

i guess 150 dollars. Can you send the winners some?

 

[Malakyoma]

Before or after coupons?

Before I'd say $60-70

After I'm guessing closer to $20

It's cost you more to ship them that what they're worth.

 

[Mime454]

There are 60 total candy bars.

 

[patrickfraser]

I've seen some couponing craziness before. $5, probably less.

 

[hierodula]

I know mime, i was kidding lol. if there are 60 candy bars and actually taking the price after the coupon.... 25$?

$7

A friends wife does this. I appreciate how much she can get for so little money, but even she admits the vast majority is stuff she doesn't need. So if you buy stuff you don't need regardless of how cheap you can get it you're actually wasting money, not saving it. I'd imagine the same applies to a mountain of candy bars.

$10 with coupons?

 

[aNisip]

$2.68 after coupons

The cost will be far less than the dentist bill.

I'm not a chocolate guy, but my dad picks these up on his way to work every day at the gas station, so it is a savings, even if they aren't needed.

The reveal!

Before coupons- $68

After coupons- $6

Rebate-$15

After rebate -$9

So she basically got paid to take them out of the store.

I was close, I had no idea there was a rebate in play. That's legally stealing. :lol:

I don't know how it all works, but apparently in Missouri, companies can't make you buy beer to get rebates. So you can use them to buy anything. At least that's how I understand it. I try not to follow too much of it, my mom is way too devoted to it.

Then in this case what I said doesn't apply to your situation. I was just pointing out an example I knew of.

there was an episode of bones where an extreme couponer got murdered by another extreme couponer and her remains had coupons in them
