How much do you think this cost?

I know you’re up past $20 or $30 by now. Would you die if I told you this cost me under $7.00?!

We have some friends who just bought a house and we wanted to do something nice for when they move in. I figured that cleaning supplies are pretty high up on the list of needs and sometimes you don’t know where you packed them, so I went to the store with my coupons and loaded up. It’s super doubles week at our grocery store so I really put my coupons to work.

Bounty Paper Towels: $ .50 (normally $1.99)
Joy Dish Detergent: $ .30 (normally $1.59)
Glass Plus Cleaner: $ .85 (normally $2.85)
Soft Scrub: FREE (normally $3.69)
Lysol Toilet Cleaner: $1.09 (normally $2.59)
Lysol Wipes: FREE (normally $3.19)
Air Wick Air Freshener: $ .50 (normally $1.19)
Fantastic Spray All-Purpose Cleaner: $1.75 (normally $3.35)
Air Wick Plug In Gel Freshener: $1.49 (normally $10.99)

TOTAL: $6.48 (would have been $31.43) I SAVED 80% and probably could have done better if I hadn’t bought a few things that weren’t on sale!!!

We bought a cleaning tote to put all this in today at Target for about $5, and I added a handful of garbage bags and we have a pretty great gift… at least I think so! We’ll probably get a few more items together but this just shows how you can put your coupons to work for you.

I also have a cousin that I am planning to do this for when she gets her first apartment, and I already have a stash of cleaning supplies stocked away for her in the garage. It just makes such a great gift because everyone needs cleaning supplies!
