Sometimes I just get a little too giddy about this stuff.... Albertson's was having a KILLER promotion this week. Buy 10 participating items get a $10 voucher for your next purchase. This is where a little advanced couponing comes into play. You have to really organize your lists & coupons to make sure you are buying the correct items. Then you buy the first 10 items, receive your voucher and put it with the coupons on your next transaction. Now, you are buying 10 more items with coupons and your $10 voucher, and guess what? You get another voucher!! Well, keep it rolling then... another transaction of 10 items and so on... My first day shopping this week I was in a bit of a hurry and only prepared a few transactions (ok it was 5, but I wanted to do more). Here's how it broke down:
- Total Value Purchased - $205.25
- Store Incentives - $100.08
- Coupons Redeemed - $58.90
- I Paid - $46.27
- Savings of 77%
It would have been less, but one of my $10 vouchers didn't print - again, be very careful about matching promotions. Still, $46!!
So, a few days later I just had to go back to finish the rest of my transactions... This time I took pictures!
- Total Value of Purchase - $164.89
- Store Incenctives - $66.39
- Coupons Redeemed - $62.80
- I Paid - $35.70
- (and I still have $10 to spend - so I could say it's like $25.70)
- Savings - 84%!!!
My favorite receipt is the one that says -$1 for 10 cans of Progresso Soup! Whoo hoo!!
I also realized that this type of shopping is great for my OCD since I can line up similar items and such (for some reason that is REALLY fun for me - just thought you'd like to know)!
