After we got home from the shopping trip below, Ava decided she reallyyyyyyy wanted to make pudding.  Being the ever so wonderful guy he is, my husband ran to the store to pick up a box (I didn't have any on hand, crazy, huh? lol).  Whiiiiiile he was there, I told him he might as well pick up 10 more of these fruit pizzas  (love a man who will use coupons ;) ).  They were 3/$5, and when you bought 10 you got $17 in Catalina coupons...free plus a small profit!  I had him use $17 in catalinas from the earlier trip so these were totally free. 

Roughly $64 for all of this (118 items)!  Savings of about $175!!  And after this I still had $23 in Catalinas to spend later.  Not bad!  :o)

These were on sale for $1.67/box.  I had a .70 coupon for each box (did not couple..phooey!), so they were .97/box, and I got back a $4 catalina for buying 5! 

I took that $4 catalina, and bought four boxes of Special K using two $1/2 coupons.  They were on sale for 4/$8, so it was $2 total for 4 boxes.  Not too bad :o) I also got back another $3 catalina for purchasing these 4 boxes!

Weis:

15 bags/boxes of vegetables, completely FREE! 

They were on sale for $1 each, and I had .50 coupons that doubled, thanks to my mom, who ordered them from ebay and shared half with me! :o)  Weis will only double 4 like coupons in a single transaction, so I split these up into four...  love those receipts with the $0.00 balance due!

I checked the mail before I went shopping and found my coupon from Facebook for the free bag of Sunchips!

Sunchips - free
Texas Toast croutons/tortilla strips - .50/bag after coupons (.50 & .75)!

Found a ton of Easter clearance left, scored four boxes of Disney egg decorating kits for .30 each, plus the window clings for .15 each (used the fairies and the Princess & the Frog stuff in the girls' room on their window, just for fun.  Left off the eggs so it wasn't at all Easter-ish!)

And somehow the Cheerio's Snack Mix was left out of one of the above pictures, so I threw it into this one.  It was on sale for $1.50, used a .50 coupon, so I paid .50 for it.  :o)

Old deals I never got around to posting. Bad, bad, blogger that I am ;o)  Somebody hold me accountable!  This is why I am not in shape, I don't hold myself accountable for excercising either, hahaha.  I started the 30 Day Shred and lasted 4 days!

3/15 - Walgreens

I ended up paying $8.90 for all of this, but I will get back $6.99 in a rebate for the Renpure Organics conditioner...  it was B1G1, so two free after I get the check for that.  So if you take that out of the total I spent $1.91 for everything...including tax.... (4 Vicks cough drops, 2 Puffs tissues, 1 Colgate toothpaste, 2 Excedrin Menstrual, 1 Garnier Fructis hairspray, and 2 Renpure conditioners)... not bad at all (but man did it "hurt" to swipe my card for $8.90, lol)!  :o)  AND, I got back a $4 RR.

3/15 - CVS

 

Apparently I forgot to take a picture of my reciept for these...but I do remember that they were free.  On sale/ECBs and I used a $1 coupon and a B1G1 coupon.  

3/21 - Weis

 

Yeahhhh, I don't remember exactly!  I think the cereal was .90 a box, the tea was $1 (for a whole gallon!), and the tortilla chips I think were $1.99 or .99 for two, they were on sale B1G1 and I had $1 off coupons...I just can't remember if they were $3.99 or $2.99 before coupons.

3/21 - Food Lion

  Kraft cheese was buy 5, get $5 off your total instantly...  bought 5, used 2 B1G1 coupons, and a $1/2 coupon!!  I cannot remember what I paid but it was CHEAP!!!  The water, was $1.50 for a 24 pack after a store coupon.  I paid less than $3 for all I think.  

Ending this post here because my computer is starting to act up.  I'll start another one in a little bit with the rest of the pictures I still have hanging out in my "to blog" folder.  ;o)

Just some deal highlights from a grocery trip...

2 SuperPretzels - $1/box
Salad - $1
4 baking cups - .89 each, used .25/2 coupons...they doubled so they were .64 each
Popcorn - Free :o) Received a free item coupon in the mail.

2 Kix - .50/box
2 Rice Krispies - $1/box (huge boxes!)
1 Danimals - $1
5 Coffee-Mate creamers - .50 each

YUM!

Ran back in for these since I realized I didn't use my coupons for them... might as well since they were free. I really get a kick out of those 0.00 totals! :o)

6 boxes of Scotties Tissues - on sale for $1, used four .50 coupons and two $1 coupons. The .50 doubled so all 6 boxes were free!

4 Marcal Small Steps - .95/each, used free item coupons, all four were free!

1 Dial Complete hand wash - $1.75. Used a .50 coupon that doubled, and paid just .75!

1 Windex - $3.29. Used a .55 mfr coupon that doubled, and a $1.50 store coupon. Paid .69!

6 (yes, there WERE 6, I know only 5 are pictured) loaves of Strohman bread - Buy 1 Get 1 Free at $3.59. Each loaf had a .55 coupon attached!! The coupons doubled, so each loaf only cost me .70!!

4 Tostitos - Buy 1 Get 1 Free, so $3.99/2. Not the greatest but we like these and use them a lot. I also had coupons for Buy 2 Get 1 dip/cheese/salsa free, so the Fritos cheese and the Tostitos cheese were both free! Saved roughly $6.50 on those!

Lance crackers were $2, and I used a $1 coupon...so paid just $1.

The Friskies party mix was $1.25/each. Used a $2/2 coupon so they were only .25/each.

THIS is the poor bread bag that is missing in the previous picture. :o( I set a bag on the stove and I guess it hit the knob because next thing I knew smoke was filling the kitchen. I lost that bag of bread, a couple boxes of pasta, a container of caramel apple dip (I'd used a free coupon on too!! sad! lol) and one of the bags of tortilla chips above (it only burned a little of the bag, but made the chips taste awful so I tossed them).

And yes, I did buy more than what is pictured...I just showed the best deals :o) I picked up lots of fresh fruits and veggies, got some chicken and ground beef, kidney beans, milk, sour cream, cream cheese, did the Powerade deal for hubby (buy 10 for $10 and get a free 24 pack of Dasani water), yadda yadda... ;o)

I.Have.No.Idea. This is another backpost.

But rest assured they were good deals, haha. :o) I think the Glass Plus was b1g1 again and I had $1 coupons so it was like .09 each or something. The crackers will be free after rebate. The AirWick was like $1.99 for both (it was b1g1 and I used $4 coupons). I got the granola bars free. The olive oil was b1g1 at $6.39...I had $1 coupons, so $4.39 for both, good deal on that. The fruit snacks were $4/4, and I had coupons but I don't remember what, I think .40/box so that would have doubled to .80 and made them .20/box.

Total paid for everything pictured?? $1.74!! And that includes tax.

2 packs of Sparkle Paper Towels
4 boxes of Arm & Hammer Dryer Sheets
1 box of Magic Erasers
1 Friskies cat treats
3 pet foods
4 Clorox Bleach
1 Hefty trash bags

I had some catalinas to burn :o) It was done in three transactions. You should be able to view the reciepts larger if you want more detail.

Grocery shopping trip... again, I FORGET MOST EVERYTHING. Someone really needs to get on me to post regularly, LOL. Obviously I took the picture because they were good deals, but how good? lol

If I recall correctly --

Mr Clean Magic Erasers were .45/box
Cookie Crisp cereal was .90/box
Green Giant boxes veggies (LOVE the rice w/ peas and mushrooms) - free to .50/box, a mix of both price ranges.
I think the Ronzoni was $1/box.
I know the yogurt was $1.


This was also in the same trip, used a $1 catalina to get bleach for just .33!

Total for all of this? $64.75! Savings of $96.45 (sale price savings included).

This was just a run in for what was on sale really, and we wanted a pumpkin. And I can't ever seem to keep enough apples in the house.

Too much to recap, but quite a bit of this was free (the Kashi, Starbucks ice cream, coffee creamer, some of the Angel Soft, the Marcal single rolls, the Yakisoba, some of the frozen veggies), and quite a bit was only pennies after coupons. I didn't have coupons for everything either, unfortunately, haha.

I also got 20 gas points (.20 off per gallon), a $2 catalina, and a $4 milk catalina (any brand, and type of milk up to $4, free).

Ran in to Weis to use some Catalinas and thought I'd "beef up" my stockpile shelves a little bit, lol.

• 3 Angel Soft - 2.99/ea (8.97)
• 2 Mr Clean Magic Erasers - 1.99/ea and used a .75 mfr coupon on each (doubled), so they were only .49 each
• 2 Downy sheets - $4.39/ea....used a $1/2 mfr coupon
• 1 Electrasol tabs - on sale for $3.50, used a .75 mfr coupon (doubled) so it was just $2
• 2 Reese's Nutrageous b/c I'm bad at math on the fly and wasn't sure if I'd need fillers, .60/ea

Used two $10 catalinas and paid just $1.70!!

Just a pic I snapped after running back into Weis to use a few Catalinas. Used a $3 coupon on the diapers, and $1 coupons on the Kotex. Used $9.75 in catalinas and and paid .22 for all, and got back another $2 Catalina. Not too bad.

I went grocery shopping today for the first time in awhile (aside from quick run ins for milk/produce/the odd sale item). Filled TWO carts! I forgot my card so I had to wait in the store while my mom ran back to my house to get it... so by the time I was actually finished checking out, it was nearing time for our visit with the in-laws and I had to get everything inside and put away, the freezer stuff had to be put away quick... no time for pictures today. I'm a visual person so I know that sucks, lol. Sorry! :P

A few of the good purchases were:

• 
  2 - 25lb bags of Tidy Cat litter, b1g1 (used a raincheck) - $4.29, used two $1 coupons... two for $2.29!
• 
  LOTS of Green Giant boxed veggies, they were $1/each, and I used several .55 off 1 coupons (doubled to $1.10), and several $1 off 2 coupons. So, free plus .05 overage to .50/box!
• 
  Totinos Pizza Rolls were $1/box, and I had some .55/2 (doubled to $1.10) and $1/2 coupons...no more than .50/box
• 
  4 - Welch's Grape Jelly in the squeeze bottles, $1.50 each and used .75 coupons that doubled to make them free.
• 
  Bunches of Del Monte canned vegetables...they were on sale 4/$3, and if you bought $20 worth you got a $5 coupon for your next order...not a bad deal. I prefer frozen veggies, but husband prefers canned.
• 
  Picked up some PowerAde for the husband, 15 for $10, just .66 each.
• 
  Used a few .50 coupons for Dole fruit that doubled, and got .05 overage on each can.
• Crayola Gum 2-packs of toothbrushes were on sale for $1, I got 3, and used a .75 coupon on each, so free and got .50 overage on each... the Crayola Gum flosser packs were $1 too, I got 3 of those and used .55 coupons, free plus .10 overage on each of those.
• 
  Did the General Mills catalina deal twice, so I got two $10 off your next order coupons (did two transactions)...and also got several $1 off your next order coupons, but I have no idea what triggered them.

Obviously, I purchased a LOT more...fresh fruits and veggies, lunch meats, soups, cheeses, yogurt, etc, etc... Two carts FULL for $226.64....252 items, my receipt says... that's roughly .90 per item if you like to figure things that way, which I don't think is bad at all. I saved just over $220!

And I got back in Catalinas: two $10, $5, five $1's, and a .75! That's $30.75 in catalinas to use again.

I went back in though and got a pack of diapers and 2 packs of Kotex pads, used a $3 coupon on the diapers, two $1 coupons on the Kotex, and the $5, four $1, and the .75 catalinas...paid 22 cents for that order, and got back a $2 catalina for spending over $12... so I still have $23 in catalinas.

Just a few of the better coupon deals I managed while grocery shopping today... this isn't all I bought, just the coupon deals.

• 
  Chef Michael dog food - $3.50, used a $3 coupon. $.50!

  2 Arm & Hammer 100ct Dryer Sheets - $2.85, buy 1 get 1 free. Used two $1 coupons, .85 total for both!

• 
  4 Blast O Butter popcorn - $2.39, B1G1. Used a $1 coupon on each box. Just .39 for TWO boxes (so .78 for all four).

  Quaker Rice snacks - .75 after a $1 coupon

• 
  El Monterey Tornados - .99 after a $1 coupon (and there was a .50 coupon in the box, which will double so I can keep rolling that to get them for .99... sweet! Hubby likes these).

Ran in to Weis quickly for a few things picked these up. They were on sale 4 for $4. I had four coupons, for .40 each, so they doubled to .80, so I ended up paying .20 a box! Not only that, but a $2.50 coupon printed out for buying 4 boxes!! Kind of like getting a profit of $1.70. Can't beat that :o)
