Pinecone Research is Growing!

Apr-30-2009 By Ashley

I have been a member of Pinecone Research for about a year now and have been very pleased with them. They do not open the doors often for new participants and when they do the spots are usually filled quickly. Each survey you complete for them you are compensated pretty quicky for.

Hurry and sign up before all the spots are filled!

Walgreens trip

I went to Walgreens on Sunday because my husband needed some more razors and while there I did several other deals. I can not believe how well I did because I left the family in the car! I started in the Pharmacy and did two transactions there before I shopped the other part of the store. I did four transactions in all.

Transaction #1

Bayer Glucose Meter – $14.99
Nivea Body Wash – 4.99
- $3.00 cat from previous deal
- $1.00 Nivea Coupon
- $14.99 Bayer coupon
Total OOP – 2.27 ($1.28 was tax!)

Received back a $5 cat for the meter and $5 cat for the Nivea body wash.

Transaction #2

Bayer Glucose Meter – $14.99
Nivea Body Wash – 4.99
- $3.00 cat from previous deal
- $1.00 Nivea Coupon
- $14.99 Bayer coupon
Total OOP – 2.27 (1.28 was tax!)

Received back a $5 cat for the meter and $5 cat for the Nivea body wash.

Transaction #3

Neosporin – $4.00
Band Aid – $3.00
Band Aid – $3.00
Suave Kids – $1.67
Suave Kids – $1.67
Suave Kids – $1.67
- $5.00 cat from first transaction
- $5.00 cat from first transaction
- $1.00 Neosporin coupon
- $1.00 Band Aid coupon
- $1.00 Band Aid coupon
- $1.75/3 Suave coupon
Total OOP – 1.26 (1.01 was tax!)

Received back $2 cat for the Suave and $4 for the Neosporin and Band Aid deal. I also still have the $5 cat from the second Bayer meter and $5 from the second Nivea deal.

Transaction #4

Fusion Power razors – $14.49
- $5 cat from second transaction
Total OOP – 10.47 (.98 was tax)

For some reason the register would not allow the cashier to use anymore coupons. She tried to manually enter them and it would not let her?!? I still did good because he needed the razors and I was able to get $5 off. All in all I spent $16.27 OOP ($4.55 of which as tax!) and still have $11 in cats to use at another time. If I would have just gone in and purchased the razors and nothing else without any coupons my total OOP would have been $15.47 that is only a difference of .80! My total savings for all transactions was $176.27 and the retail value of all items purchased was $192.54! My percentage saved was 92%!

One year ago today I started this blog! I feel that I have come a long way since first starting to coupon and I just know that I will learn more as time goes on. I want to thank those of you that read my blog and if it were not for you I would have no reason to post here.
