I don't know about you, but my summer has been nuts and I feel like I haven't been on a good shopping trip for a while now. Whoo hoo!! I sure got my "fix" this morning! Since I always get asked to actually GO shopping for people, I figured I would make it a no-brainer for you this week (especially if you are new to rolling transactions). First, I checked the Grocery Smarts Smiths list and then checked the Pinching Your Pennies link to see if there are any other great deals I should know about. Oh, Boy!! There are a ton of catalina deals this week too! [catalina: a coupon that prints from the register after you pay]. So, I spent some time doing my homework last night and I came up with some great transactions. So, here ya go....
Now it's time to sit down with your coupon file box and clip away. You may want or need to print a few printables out for these transactions. Next, I always check the digital coupons and see if I can add a few to my card (see the sidebar on the right of this blog for printables and digitals). I also check to see if I have any store coupons I can add (my lucky day - I recently received my $13 in smiths rewards). Make sure you organize your coupons with each transaction so when you are shopping, you can easily group the items for each transaction in your cart and you have all the coupons ready to go - makes for a much easier checkout process.
Here's my loot from this morning's transactions. It's important to note that sometimes, not everything goes according to plan, sometimes for the better! I haven't looked too closely, but my totals came to $21.89 for #1, $18.59 for #2, and $7.64 for #3 (I added pens and pencils because I was afraid it would get too close to zero or a negative balance. PLUS, I now have $7.50 in catalinas from that last transaction AND 50 Bonus Box Tops! All in all, a SUPER fun morning!!!
