Harris Teeter Triples... and I'm swimming in beverages!

Harris Teeter is tripling coupons again, and of course I couldn't resist making a trip. Here's the breakdown!

4 Bertolli Pasta Sauce (one of which I promptly BROKE as soon as I got home *sad face*)
3 French's Classic Yellow Mustard
3 3lb bags of Mahatma Rice
3 Propel Water (for my sister)
3 Tubs of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
3 Breakstone Sour Cream

Total before coupons/sales: $50.65

Total after coupons/sales: $10.69

Also, another Giant trip yesterday for more cheap stuff to drink. Think I have enough??? (Keep in mind this is in addition to the stuff in the pictures I posted a couple days ago!)

Two More Giant Trips

Did another Giant trip yesterday after my friend Ayrielle clued me in to the fact that you can double-dip on catalina deals with Pillsbury crescent rolls (get $10 for purchasing $20 AND get $4 back when you buy 6 Pillsbury products), so here is what I did:

8 Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls
1 Loaf Whole Wheat Bread
1 Marie Callendar Dinner
2 Kraft Cheese
1 large tub of ice cream
20 Fuze drinks
1 Bottle Propel water (for my sister)
2 V8 Fusion

Total before coupons/sales: $86.48

Total after coupons/sales: $44.43 and I received $7 back for the Fuze, and $14 back for the Pillsbury for a total $21 back!

I also did a mini trip this morning and bought 10 more Fuze and 8 Propel waters (for my sister).

Total before coupons/sales: $26.25

Total after coupons/sales: $5.35

Up to my eyeballs in Fuze and V8 Fusion

Made another trip to Giant today. Since V8 Fusion is on sale at $3 each (which, while not the best price I've ever gotten, is not that worst either) I decided to use my $.75/1 coupons that doubled to snag 11 bottles at $1.50 each.

I also picked up another 20 bottles of Fuze- using my BOGO FREE coupons meant I spent $10 for them AND got back a $7 OYNO catalina for buying $20 in Coke products.

Spent: $30.15
Saved: $54.99

I have at least another 15 BOGO FREE Fuze Q's as well as several $0.75/1 V8 Fusion Q's coming in the mail, so I anticipate doing this deal at least one more time!

Awesome Shopping Weekend!

Since Shoppers Food Warehouse had triples AND super doubles going on this weekend, and Giant has some GREAT catalina deals this week- I made out like a bandit! See pics:








Total: $107.01 with $19 OYNO catalinas, so it's like I paid $88.19!

Saved $138.92

AWESOME Giant Deals Starting Friday!

For my local people with a Giant food store- check out the sales this week starting tomorrow. There are THREE different catalina deals for money back after purchase!

Check it out here!

Kelloggs is paying me $35.20 to eat their cereal??

Safeway is having an awesome sale on Kelloggs Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, and Fruit Loops this week (good through tomorrow). If you buy 5, you pay just $1.50 each. There is even a coupon next to the cereal for $.70/1 cereal.

Thanks to HotCouponWorld.com, I was able to get the same coupons with one very important difference- the coupons I got will DOUBLE (the ones in the stores will not), making them worth $1.40. See where I'm going with this? That means (with tax) I pay $0.12 per box of cereal.

How are they paying me? Kellogg's also has a rebate out where if you buy 10 Kellogg's products, they will give you $10 back. The best part? You can submit up to 8 rebates per household (I have 4 rebates left)!

So, 40 boxes of cereal at $0.12 each = $4.80 - $40 in rebates = $35.20 money maker!

The good news for YOU is that this is still a good deal with the coupons you find in the store's cereal aisle, even if you don't have the rebate forms. You end up paying $4 for 5 boxes of cereal which is still an awesome price, so go out and take advantage of this deal!

Giant Trip

Because of the CVS trip I did this morning (which I outlined in my previous post), I now have enough HBA (shampoo, body wash, deodorant etc) products to last at least a year, maybe more. I also have no less than 100 candles and other air freshening products. At this point, I don't plan on stockpiling anymore of these items, unless that are free or close to it (like the deal I did about a month ago where I got 8 bottles of Garnier Fructis for $.50).

Now I'm going to focus completely on stockpiling food. I was very pleased with my Giant trip today. Here's what I got:

1 Gallon Milk
1 Welch's Juice Cocktail
6 Healthy Choice meals
1 Lean Cuisine meal
3 boxes Cap'n Crunch peanut butter cereal (my DH's favorite)
14 32oz bottles of G2 Gatorade
2 bottles of V8 Fusion (love, love, LOVE this stuff!)
3 packs of boneless chicken breasts

Total before coupons and sales: $87.89
Total after coupons and sales: $32.46 (saved $17.38 w/ my Giant card and $39.34 in coupons)

Among the coupons I used: $10/$40 Harris Teeter coupon (Giant honors competitor coupons!), the $5 oyno Giant catalina from last week's frozen food deal, and 14 $0.50/1 G2 Gatorade coupons (that made them all FREE!)

Can't WAIT until Sunday at CVS!

Usually I post my deals only AFTER I do them, but I'm so excited, I'm going to give you a sneak peak at what I'm doing at CVS on Sunday!

Dove is on sale $15 get $5 ECB, and there is a great $2 Dove deodorant IP out. There is also a Glade deal $10 get $4 ECB(limit 2!!) and I plan on doing both plus using the $5/$30 coupon I got in my email to make a SWEET deal!

Buy 3 Glade Sense & Sprays ($6 ea) and 2 scented oil candle refills (2/$5)- 6 x 3 + 5 = $23
-(3) $4/1 Glade Sense & Spray starter kit coupons
- (2) $1.50/1 Scented oil candle holder or refill pack coupons

Buy 4 Dove Deodorant (2/$5) and one Dove Men body wash ($5)- 4 X $2.50 plus $5= $15
-(4) $2/1 any Dove deodorant IP
-(1) $1 any Dove Men product (there are also $1.75 IPs, but I already printed the max )

Now for the math!

$23 + $15 = $38
-$5 ($5/$30 Q)
-$12 (sense & spray q's)
-$3 (scented oil q's)
-$8 (Dove deoderant IPs)
-$1 (Dove men Q)
TOTAL: $9 with $13 ECB and submit for $5 SC Johnson rebate, so a BIG moneymaker after the rebate!

Besides the deals I previously posted this week- I am buying 10 of the Cheez-it crackers that are on sale 5/$5 and submitting them for the $10 Kelloggs rebate (buy 10 Kelloggs/Keebler/Sunshine products and get a free $10 prepaid VISA) to make FREE CHEEZ-ITS!!!

More Laundry Detergent!

As if I need anymore laundry detergent (see previous post), but there is an AWESOME deal on Tide at CVS today. It's on sale for $5.97 (my stock-up price- Tide is usually $9-$10), get back $1 ECB. I used a $1/1 coupon from last Sunday's paper and got it for $4.97. I also purchased another Nivea Lipcare.

If I had gone to CVS to purchase the Nivea lipcare on Sunday, I could have used the BOGO Nivea lipcare coupon, but I forgot about it and the coupon expired on Sunday, so I lost a chance for another free Nivea. One free is still a good deal, even though two free would have been sweeter.

Total before coupons/sales: $14.43

Total after coupons/sales: $8.41 which I put on my giftcard and received $4 ECB for the Tide and Nivea.

I still have one $25 giftcard and $16 ECB to spend at CVS!

Totals and Two Trips!

Updated my totals for the year as they were a little behind.

Went to CVS yesterday:

2 Oral B Toothbrushes
7 Glade candles
2 Almay Eye make-up removers
1 Gillette Fusion razor



Total before coupons and sales: $62.36

Total after coupons and sales: $17.36, which I put on a giftcard I got free with prescription, AND I received 12 ECB!

Also hit Giant:

Spent $48 and got 12 two-liter sodas, some fresh Salmon and several pounds of chicken. Just submitted for three rebates ($5 on Lemon Lime soda for the Sprite, $5 on Meat, and $6 on fresh seafood). The detergent in the picture was from previous trips.

Great Kellogg's Deal at Giant!

Right now at Giant, Kellogg's cereal is on sale 3 for $5. While at Giant yesterday, I found a blinkie in the cereal aisle for $0.70/1 Kellogg's Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, or Fruit Loops, making each box of cereal $0.96! The only downside is that these blinkies will not double (as Giant usually doubles all coupons up to $0.99). However, on Hot Coupon World, I am in the process of trading for blinkies that WILL double, and if I am successful, I'll be able to get Kellogg's cereals for JUST $0.26 per box!

Target Trip 2/27

I've been trying to trim my spending a bit as we've had some unexpected moving expenses and so far I'm a bit over budget for the year, but I couldn't resist a trip to Target!
