It isn't as much fun...

as it was when my camera worked!

I went to Target last week and bought the 10 Vitamin Waters for $1.00 each. Total was $10, I used my gift cards that I had left over from the pop-tart extravaganza a few weeks back. That brought my total down to $2 and change oop and I earned a $5 gc back.

Saturday Wags trip

Well, my camera is officially dead. My other camera takes 3 pictures before warning that brand new batteries are low. I won a camera in a Mother's Day sweepstakes, but so far haven't received it. It isn't looking good that I will. So for the moment, I will just note what I bought.

4 Brach candy corns @ .99. Mixed 1 cup with 1 cup salted peanuts - tastes like a Payday.
2 Glade Wisp candles @ 5.99. I used B1G1 coupon, and $5 off one. I paid .99 for both then got back a $3 RR. Profit of $2.01.
2 - 16oz Coffeemate French Vanilla liquid creamer. On sale for $1.50 each. Used 2 $1.00 off. Final cost .50 each.
2 - 8oz pkg shredded cheddar cheese @ 1.50 each.
1 pkg hooks @ 1.99
High School Musical watch on clearance for $2.50
Tee shirt on clearance for 1.50
I used 2 RR that took off $14.
Total oop $2.48 earned 3 RR

I forgot to pick up more of the Quilted Northern in that transaction, so I grabbed 2 packages @ 4.00 each - 1 ESR Q - 2 MQ = 1.00 for each 6pk double roll.

Friday Night Trippin'

Walgreens
BC $56.42 + 3.95 tax = $60.37 -
Q's 30.50 -
RR 9.00 = $20.87 on gift card

Final cost, all free + $2.76 profit.

Quick breakdown:
Quilted Northern Ultra Plus 4-2Q-1IVC =1.00
Pert @ 3.49 - 1.5Q -2.5 = free + profit
Fantastik, Windex, Shout, SB spray @ 2.50 - 1.50Q - 1 ESR= free
Nivea and Chemistry full price will get full price + 10% back on ESR
Scrubbing Bubbles foamer, kit, gel toilet disc @ 3.99 - 2Q - 1.50 ESR + 10% = .34 each
Crest 1.99 - 1IVC = .99 I had 1.00 Q but it kept beeping. I had a great cashier and didn't want her to have to take off the toothpaste and adjust total. I hate paying for it though...

Buy-Low

Went back to get a few more deals while double coupons is still in effect.

BC $38.60 -
Q 23.13 =
$15.47 OOP

Dog food 4# bag @ .99 each (20# for $4.95)

Cascade free

Bread B1G1 free - final cost $1.59 for both
Country Crock (44oz) free

I needed milk but didn't want to pay grocery store prices. CVS has the best deal on milk and I had a coupon - imagine that!

Milk @ 2.99 - .50 coupon = 2.49
Water @ 2.29 (free after ECB)
BC 5.28 - .50Q- 3ECB =
1.78 OOP
Earned 2.29 ECB
Final cost -.51 (profit)


I scanned my card upon entering and my quarterly ECB printed out for a grand total of $3. I needed to buy something else to get the full value so I bought the water.


Last stop of the night was Schnucks.

I guess I was tired because I bought 2 items that were not the right product - soup and lean cuisine.

BC $36.63
AC $13.50 oop

Only free item was the Green Giant steamers.
Everything else was on sale and cheaper w/coupon.
I had 12RR that were expired or expiring today that I needed to use along with 11.55 Q's.

After it was all brought in, photographed and put away, my final total is as follows:

$135.38 worth of groceries that I paid $25.70 for. A savings of 81%!

Dealio on doggie food

I bought some dog food on my previous trip to Buy-Low that was clearance priced @ 2.94. I went back yesterday armed with $2.00 coupons and bought the remaining 3 bags. Oh, if they had only had more! I paid $3.44 of which .62 was tax and got 12 pounds of dog food.

Buy Low Double coupon week

I live in the Land of No Doubles (LOND). Well, almost. A local store will double coupons once a month and another smaller local store will run them occasionally as a 1 day sale. I don't regularly shop either although I check their ad for loss leaders, just in case! Buehler's Buy Low is running the double coupon week where all coupons up to .50 are doubled, everything thing between .51 and .99 will increase to 1.00. I stopped on my way home from work and grabbed the items shown. Total BC $35.25 AC $26.25. The best deals were on the Campbell's Soup Chicken Noodle which was on sale for .50. I had .40 off 4, so final price after doubling is .30 a can. Tomato soup is also on sale at that price, but I don't care for it. Yoplait yogurt was .50 each and I had .40 off 6, which made the final cost .37 each. Hot Pockets were on sale for $2.00 each, I used .50 off which made them $1.00 each. Cheap lunch for sure! Everything else was bought without coupon.
