$20 Challenge

Sometimes I feel the urge to shop, (okay, I actually have this urge quite often) but don't want to spend any much money. That is where my $20 Challenge comes in. I take a $20 out of my wallet, stick some coupons in my pocket and head to the store! I have done this a few times and it's really fun! Check out some of my goodies from my latest endeavor . . .

Stop #1: Bath and Body Works
3 Mini Jar Candles on sale 3/$10 (normally $4.50 ea)
1 Mason Jar Candle $12.50

Coupon: any item FREE with $10.00 purchase (-$12.50)

Total Paid: $10.84  (with tax) 
Total Saved: $17.34

Stop #2: Ulta
1 Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation $4.99
1 Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed  $2.49 (Rimmel was BOGO 50% off)
1 OPI Glitter Polish (clearance) $2.49
2 Elegant Touch Nail Polish Removers (clearance) $1.09 each

Coupon: $3.50 off any $10 purchase (-$3.50) & 20% off any item (-.98 off the foundation)

Total Paid: $8.31 (with tax)
Total Saved: $ 20.89

Total spent on this shopping trip: $19.15 (.85 to spare!)
A savings of over $38.00!!

Will Ulta let you use 2 coupons in one transaction? Is there usually $3.50 off coupons floating around the internet?

Yes! As long as they are two different coupons- as in a % off combines with a $ off, not two % off or two $ off.
There usually are always $3.50 off $10 and the 20% come out every now and then. Of course, both of these coupons aren't good on the "good" size of Ulta.
