2/27 Coupon Inserts




This weekend there should be 3 coupon inserts in your paper. 2 Smart Source and 1 Proctor & Gamble (P&G). This is a good weekend to get some extra papers. The second Smart Source may be regional. I didn't get it in my local paper so it might be a General Mills. Those are usually listed just as a Smart Source on the coupon previews. :)

My Target Trip 2/22




Target is having an awesome deal with their frozen food right now. This is a regional deal so check your ad to see if you have the gift card deal or the freezer bag deal. We have the gift card deal and the way it works is you buy ANY seven frozen products and you get a $5 gift card. Seriously anything frozen is included. Now normally I would do this and do small transactions and roll the gift cards, but we didn't do it that way today. I will go back on Friday or Saturday with the gift cards I got today and do it my way. :) Hubby was with so some extra items were added in. Another big shocker is I didn't have coupons for hardly anything I bought *gasp* :) Here's what I got:

1 Reese's Peanut Butter cups (dh) $2.99
1 Reese's Dark Peanut Butter cups (dh) $3.19
1 Slim Jim 2pk (dh) $1.54
2 20oz pop $1.59 ea
1 Presto Deep Fryer (dh) $22.99
2 Scott Bath Tissue 12 pks (dh thinks stockpiling is just buying a lot...doesn't realize we do it when they are free or cheap! ) $7.49 ea
1 3pk Dunlop Tennis Balls (these are for Fatboy..not in pic dh gave them to him as soon as we walked in) $1.69
2 Breyer's Ice Cream treats $2.99 ea
1 Breyers Ice Cream Samoas $3.99
1 Nestle Drumsticks $5.29
1 Market Pantry Ice Cream $5.49
5 Market Pantry various potato items $2.09 ea
6 Market Pantry Steak & Cheese Burritos $.84 ea
10 Weight Watcher's Smart Ones $1.80 ea - $5/$10 TQ & $3/$10 MQ = $1 ea
1 Skinny Cow Truffles $4.19
1 Alexia Sweet Potato Fries $2.74
1 Tyson Chicken Patties $4.50
1 Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches $4.54
1 State Fair Corn Dogs $3.19
2 TGI Fridays Chicken & Quesadilla (sp) $2.18 (clearance) - $4/2 TQ = .18 ea
2 Bagel Bites $2.49 - (2) $1 q's = $1.49 ea
Used $5 Gift Card from a previous transaction

Total: $116.41 (got $25 in gift cards) I haven't had a total like that in a LONG time at Target!

Just figured it out and $62.74 is the actual food so not too bad when you consider I got $25 in gift cards. :)

Walgreens Trip 2/12




This is my first trip this year to Walgreens. I have been really slacking! I am getting back in gear now though. My oop (out of pocket) was higher since I didn't have any register rewards to start with, but that is okay with me. I really wanted to get some of the Skippy peanut butter. I wish that my Walgreens would have had more in stock! Here's what I got:

#1
Neuragen $14.99
Used $10 q

Total $5.10 got $10 RR

#2
5 Skippy Peanut Butter $1.50 ea
4 Ragu $1.50 ea
1 Lipton Tea Bags $2.50

Used (2) .75/2 Skippy q's, (2) $1/2 Ragu q's, .60/1 Lipton q & $10 RR from Neuragen

Total: $2.06 got $5 RR

#3
1 Neuragen $14.99
1 Newspaper .75

Used $10 Neuragen q & $5 RR from #2 deal

Total: .89 got $10 RR

Now I will have a $10 RR to start out with next week. :)

2/13 Coupon Inserts




Update: I got my local paper today and there was only 1 Smart Source and 1 Red Plum. The preview may have been wrong or the 2nd Smart Source might be regional. There was a $3 Gain Fabric softener coupon in the Red Plum!! The 80ct Gain dryer sheets are $3.26 at Wal-Mart so only .26 after the coupon! That's definitely a stock up price!!

According to the preview there should be 3 inserts in this weekends paper. 2 Smart Source and 1 Red Plum. Rumor has it there will be a $3/1 Gain Fabric Softener coupon. That should make for free or very cheap fabric softener so I will check my papers and get some extras if it is in there. Don't forget if you don't want to buy more papers you can always just order the coupons from coupon clipping sites. :)

New Stockpile Pictures





I took some new pictures of my stockpile. Sorry the pictures are a little blurry, but I haven't figured out this new camera yet.

Kroger Trip 2/9/11




Total Paid for items in picture: $8.40


Wow I have been really slacking. I plan on taking more time to keep this updated from now on. :) I went to Kroger yesterday for the last day of the Mega Sale. The way the Mega Sale works is you buy 10 participating items and you get $5 off your shopping trip. So it is like .50 off each item. You can do multiple deals in one order. The items below with the * next to the price are mega items and the .50 has already been removed from the price. I did three separate transactions. Here's what I got:

#1
2 Krutz Cookie Mixes $1.49* -(2) .50q's doubled = .49 ea
2 Kroger English muffins .69 (manager's special)
1 Thomas Bagel Thins $3.49 - free q = free
2 Frank's Red Hot Sauce $1.49* -(2) .50 q's doubled = .49
3 Hunts Tomatoes .47* - $1/3 manu q & $1/3 e q = -.59
3 Hormel Chili .79* - $1.50/3 q = .29 ea
2 Kettle Chips $1.49* - (2) $1 q's = .49 ea
2 Kraft 2% Cheese slices $1.49 - (2) .75 q's = .74 ea
4 Rotel Tomatoes .42* - (3) .30q's doubled & B3G1 Free = -1.46
2 Honest Fruit Punch .75 - (2) .50q's doubled = -.50
2 Kroger loaves of bread .39 (manager's special)

Total: $5.32
Total Savings: $38.20 or 87%

#2
2 Whisker Lickins Cat Treats .49* - $1/2 q = -.02
2 Axe Deodorant $2.99* - BOGO manu q & $2 eq = -2.50
2 Reach Access Flossers $1.00* - (2) .50 q's doubled & $1 eq = -1.00
2 Reach Toothbrushes $1.00 - (2) $1 q's = free
12 pumpkin votive candles .49* (this is price before mega after .50 disc they were .01 mm's each)
3 Suave Body Wash $1.67 - (2) .50 q's doubled, B2G1 free mq & $1 eq = .01
2 Oral B toothbrushes $2.50 - (2) $2.50 q's = free
3 Dove Deodorant $2.00 - (3) $2 manu q's & $2 eq = -2.00
1 Gillette Body Wash $2.50 - $2 manu q & $2 eq = -1.50
~Now I wasn't paying much attention on this trip, because I ended up with a total of -$2.15. So I added:
2 Reese's Fast Break Candy Bars .50 ea
1 Snickers .50
1 Lighter .90

Total: .39 (tax was $2.88!!! so it cut into the tax!)
Total Savings: $54.71 or 104% woohooo :)

#3
2 Krutz Cookie Mixes $1.49* - (2) .50 q's doubled = .49ea
1 Krutz Blueberry Pancake Mix $1.49* - .50 q doubled = .49
3 Kraft 2% Sliced Cheese $1.49 - (3) .75 q's = .74 ea
4 Honest Tea & Fruit Punch .75* - (4) .50 q's doubled = -2.00

Total: $2.69
Total Savings: $24.41 or 90%
