$15 worth of coupons in Aquafina 24pk

Here at my house, we have yet to drop the water bottles in favor of a water filter. Just to reiterate, I started my Frugal Savings Journey only back in May. Old habits die hard and I am making progress. I hope to soon cut out cable tv, eating out, and our bottled water. It is just so darn convenient though!

So we ran out of water the other day and I went to the store just for water. I normally wait for Walgreens sales on their water which is usually around $2.39/24pk but I can't wait for the next sale so my options were $3.99/24pk Aquafina or $3/Nestle 24pk with coupon. I opted for the Aquafina and I will tell you why. The Aquafina case had $15 worth of misc. manufacturer coupons inside. I figured that as long as I use $1 worth of those coupons I made up for my choosing Aquafina over Nestle. Ideally I would always go for Dasani if it were cheaper due to it's enhanced taste! Alas, Dasani is never cheaper.

These are the things you need to keep an eye on. Most people would not even notice the "$15 In Coupons Inside" label and just get the $1 cheaper case. Reward for catching this was the following 12 coupons:

1. $1 off any 1 Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink or Doubleshot 4-pk
