First, let me share the site where I buy my coupons from. Klip2Save has almost every coupon available at reasonable rates. Shipping is generally $1 for 3-5 day shipping, and you can buy coupons individually. If you click on the link, it will take you to the Downy Unstopables coupon search results.
I found two awesome coupons that don't expire until 11/30/2014: a $3/2 and a $2/1. I bought three of each, just to get me started since there aren't any sales going on right now. The total, with shipping was $2.83.
Now for some math! I based the following math on Walmart's prices. They are advertised as the cheapest in town. This will show how much it will be for 6 DU's. You might have to break up the transaction into a set of 4 and a set of 2.
Walmart offers three sizes.
Oz Price x 6 Minus Coupons Plus Coupon Cost Total Cost______________
9.7 oz - $5 $30 -$15 ([3+2] x3) + $2 $17 for 6 Downy Unstopables
13.2 oz - $7 $42 -$15 + $2 $29 for 6 Downy Unstopables
19.3 oz - $9.75 $58.5 -$15 + $2 $45.6 for 6 Downy Unstopables
(I'm not sure why I did $2 instead of $2.83, but you get the general idea)
I am always one to check on the price per ounce, too...
Oz Price /6 /number of ounces Total Cost per ounce___
9.7 oz - $17/6 $2.83 per bottle 9.7 oz About $0.29 / 1 oz
13.2 oz - $29/6 $4.83 per bottle 13.2 oz About $0.37 / 1 oz
19.3 oz - $45.5/6 $7.60 per bottle 19.3 oz About$0.40 / 1 oz
So that's the breakdown of it! I was surprised by this ... normally its cheaper to buy the bigger packages. At normal price, the smallest bottle was only a penny more per ounce than the biggest bottle.
I will be holding on to these coupons for a little while ... hopefully there will be a sale soon so we can save even more! If I order the coupons on Sunday (when the sales come out), I normally get my coupons by Wednesday, giving me plenty of time to get my deals. Family Dollar always has them on clearance, also.
I hope this was helpful! Stay tuned for the recipe for liquid laundry detergent :)
