It seems like we have been gone for most of the month of August. Our cupboards and fridge have been screaming to be stocked... so... Thursday I sat down with my GrocerySmarts lists and box of coupons and off I went... Check out the deals this week that I took advantage of to stockpile this week! Does it even count as a stockpile if it doesn't last more than a few weeks?
Transaction #1
These items earned Catalinas for their purchase. And well, we always need more chocolate chips. I used a $1/10 coupon from the SS-7/10, but there is also one in the BoxTops-8/7.
Total paid $21.76
Earned $4.25 for my next purchase
Transaction #2 (Both pictures)
Picture on top shows items that were part of the Back to School Mega Event (Buy 10 items receive $5 off your total). Picture on the bottom was other items on sale that I just 'needed'.
Total Spent $94.62
Total SAVED $80.62
Not quite 50% but that's ok I guess since I got lots of staple-type products
Ok - Here was my first transaction. Hunts was doing a Catalina promotion where I earned $1 for every 4 items that I purchased. It seems there is no limit to this offer. You do not have to do multiple transactions to get this deal multiple times, but it will spit out several $1 Catalinas. But who cares? You are going to give them right back in a second anyway!!
Transaction #1
Total Spent $21.65
Total Saved $20.91
Earned $6 for next transaction
(note: the coupons in the RP-8/7 have a different bar code on them and would not scan. period. No "boops" or anything. Will have to be manually added. Hopefully you get a cashier who will do this for you)
Transaction #2
Total Spent $43.53
Total Saved $143.16 (That's what I'm talking about!)
I created my lists on Thursday and went to each store on different days as I had time. For all you geeks out there... I purchased a total of 174 items for $181.56 or around $1.04 for EACH item! Yeah!! Tomorrow I will show you some tricks on how to make the most of your cupboards to fit all this fun stuff!! I just love saving money!!
