Kmart is doubling coupons this week up to .99!

This means that .75 coupons will be worth $1.50!  Unfortunately, they stop the doubling at $.99 so we can't double up to $2.00 but I'm already browsing my .75 coupons for matchups.  Here is what we've got so far.

Sunday CVS & Walgreen's Shopping - 8/21/11

Pretty much rocked Walgreens today.  I just ended up with 2 Hellmann's Mayos at CVS.  Here is the break down.

Walgreens

Axe Deoderant & Body Spray Buy 1, Get 1 50% off
Bought 2 Axe Deoderant (had FREE full size body spray attached to it!!) $7.19
Bought 2 Axe Body Spray $8.24
Used 2 Buy 1 Axe Deoderant or Body Spray, Get 1 Free coupons
Final Price: $5.15 for 4 Axe Body Sprays and 2 Axe Deoderants!!

I would have bought 4 deoderants with the free sprays but they only had 2 left.  Boohoo.

Kellogg's Rice Krispy Treats  4/$10
Earn $5 Register Reward with purchase of 4
Bought 4 Kellogg's Rice Krispy Treats $10.00
Used 2 $1/2 Kellogg's Rice Krispy Treats Coupons
Final Price: $3.00 for 4 boxes or $.75 per box

Random school supplies

.39 Sharpie
.39 Index Cards
.39 Erasers
.39 Pencil Sharpener
.79 Glue Sticks

No great deals on these but needed them!

Margaritaville Paradise Key Iced Tea $1.49
No coupon or deal.  Just wanted to try one. 

I used $15.00 in Register Rewards I had from last week so my total out of pocket for all of this was only $1.97!!!  I also have my $5.00 reigster reward that I earned from the Rice Krispy Treats to use next week!

CVS

Hellmann's Mayonnaise - Buy 1 Get 1 Free $5.29
Used 2 $.25 off 1 Hellmann's Mayonnaise coupons (You can use a coupon even on the free item!)
Total: $4.79
Used $3.00 Extra Bucks I had from last week and paid $1.79 OOP for 2 Hellmann's Mayonnaises.

I'm happy about it all.  We were down to our few last knife swoops of mayonnaise and being that we pack lunch and my kids love sandwiches, I needed some!  My husband loves Axe and it is a product we don't get a great deal on all that often so getting 4 sprays and 2 deoderants for about $.86 each makes me pretty happy. 

How did your deal hunting go?  Let me know!

Save-a-Lot Shopping Tips

Shopping at Save-a-lot can be tricky.  Many of the pre-packaged and convenience foods are just as expensive or perhaps a bit cheaper than other grocery stores.  You can save quite a bit on staples at Save-a-lot.  Basic items like salt, baking soda, baking powder, produce, rice, and beans are examples of these items.

Save-a-lot also has name brand items and these items when on sale, and combined with coupons can provide great savings! 

Examples:

   Save-a-lot recently had Butterball Turkey Bacon on sale for $1.00 per pack.  I had $.65 off 1 pack coupons, making a pack of turkey bacon only $.35!  I bought 6 packs and put them in the big freezer.  I have some more $.65 coupons and I have fingers crossed for another great deal as we're down to one pack.

   Fresh Express salad mix on sale for $1.00, I had a $1.00 coupon.  FREE salad mix!

   Cheese Nips on sale for $1.00,  I had a $1.00 off 2 coupon.  .50 boxes of Cheese Nips.


Save-a-lot has a Smart Shoppers Club as well.  You can sign up HERE to receive the weekly sales, coupons, and discounts.  When you sign up, you will receive the opportunity to print a $5.00 off your $25.00 purchase which can be combined with other coupons!

Recently, I started getting coupon offers from Save-a-lot as well.  These are good for store brand products or free items when you spend a certain amount.

Current notable deals include:

$.88 Peaches, Plums, and Nectarines
$.88 Bartlett Pears
$.88 Sweet Jumbo Onions
$.88 Roma Tomatoes
$.88lb. Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks

It is important to note that while Save-a-lot does accept coupons, they do NOT double.

Wabash Valley Shopping 8/20/11

Saturday's Shopping Trip

Ran to Kroger this morning hoping to find some milk markdowns while my husband had the kids at the dentist.  They were doing milk markdowns (yay!) and I went ahead and got a few other breakfast items that I had some coupons for.  I'll detail it all below to show you how some of these deals work.

First, I got some items included in the Buy 10, Get $5 off promotion.

1 Old El Paso 10 ct. Soft Taco Tortilla Pack $.99
Used 1 .50 off 1 Old El Paso product coupon that doubled to $1.00
Final Price: FREE

1 Old El Paso Refried Beans Can $.99
Used 1 .50 off 1 Old El Paso product coupon that doubled to $1.00
Final Price: FREE

4 boxes of Kellogg's Mini-Wheats 24oz cereal $2.19
Used 2 $1.00/2 Kellogg's Cereals coupon
Final Price: $6.76 (I made sure these boxes all had the Cars 2 Visa $5 Gift Card Promo picture on the front.  When I receive my gift card rebate, it makes these boxes of cereal $1.76 or $.44 a box!!!!)

2 De Wafelbakkers Pancakes 18ct. $2.34
Used 2 $1.00/1 coupons
Final Price: $2.68

2 Pop Secret Mini Bags 10 ct. $1.99
Used 1 $1.00/2 coupon
Final Price $2.98 or $1.49 each


Other Non-Buy 10, Get $5 items I picked up

2 Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage Links - On Manager's markdown for $1.89
I had no coupons but still snagged the sausage for that price
Final Price: $3.78

Bartlett Pears and Bananas - $3.77
Used 2 $1.50 off Fresh Fruit when you buy 2 Kellogg's Cereal coupons (the cereal I purchased above)
Final Price: $.77

3 Gallons of Milk - On markdown for $1.60 a gallon = $4.80
Used 2 $2.00 off milk when you buy 2 Eggo Waffles coupons (the Eggos I purchased above)
Final Price: $.80 or $.27 per gallon!!

Aunt Jemima Homestyle Waffles - On Closeout for $1.63
Used 1 $1.00/1 Aunt Jemima product coupon
Final Price: $.63


Shopping Total: $24.36  ($19.36 once I get my $5.00 rebate gift card from Kellogg's) - Receipt total shows a savings of 60%.  That calculation does not take into account manager's specials so the milk and breakfast sausage savings are not included.  The total would have been at least $70.00, which would be savings of more like 70%!!

Dollar General Offers

Dollar general offers printable store coupons and these coupons CAN be combined with manufacturer's coupons for some great deals.  Head HERE for their printable coupons. 

Also, this Saturday ONLY, Dollar General has a coupon for $5 off $25.  Make sure you hand them this coupon before your others. 

Between the $ off coupon and the opportunity to combine store coupons as well as manufacturer's coupons, you can really rack up the savings here!
