CRACKER BARREL

Back in November I told you about Cracker Barrel’s rewards program, Front Porch Friends rewards club. Well, if you’re a member, I have some good news and bad news. The bad news… they are doing away with their rewards program. The good news… they’ve added a Thank You Reward onto ALL registered Front Porch Friends accounts! The special reward is a $10 off $10 coupon! Yay!

"We’ve enjoyed thanking our Front Porch Friends with rewards this year. But, now we’re wrapping up this program, so we can focus on new ways for our guests to enjoy Cracker Barrel. To thank you for participating in our program, we’ve added a gift of $10 off your next Cracker Barrel purchase of $10 or more onto your Front Porch Friends account. Visit us soon to enjoy your $10 reward before it expires on 1/31/11. We’ll be waiting with a smile."

PUBLIX TRIP 07/26

My trip to Publix this week was a short one. i am at the point where I really don't need much, but I did not want to pass up the sales. I found Granola Nut Clusters on the clearance shelf for 2/3.19 and I had a 75¢/2 coupon, making the 2 bags just 2.44. I also bought:

3 Pringles Cans
1 Spray & Wash
3 Hamburger Helper

2 Tombstone Pizzas
1 DiGiorno Deep Dish
1 Smuckers Sugar Free Cherry Preserves

Total before sales and coupons was 45.59.
I paid 13.17, saving 32.42. These numbers don't seem as big as my usual savings, but considering what I bought, I think I did pretty good. And personally, my husband and I both LOVE these cherry preserves. I highly recommend them.

CVS TRIP 07/26

I had a great CVS trip the other day. They were having a great clearance sale on cold meds. I was able to use my raincheck that I got several weeks ago for Olay Total Effects Body Wash so that I could get that $7ECB. I also had a CVS coupon for $3 off of Off Clip-on refil that was about to expire and they finally had some of those also. This is what I got:

WALGREEN'S TRIP 7/20

I am on vacation in Florida this week. I have always admitted that I am addicted to couponing, but I guess this is proof postive. Even on vacation, I am watching the deals and trying to get the most for my money. I have made it to Publix a few times and Walgreen once. At Walgreens I did:

Transaction #1
1 Colgate Toothpaste - $1 Q = 2.73 including tax. Got back $3.50RR

Transaction #2
3 Highlighters
3 packs sheet protectors
4 packs dividers
1 Walgreens reuseable bag
Used $3.50RR from transaction #1 and paid 33¢

If any of you are in the process of setting up a binder, now is a great time to to buy supplies. We all need dividers and the sheet protectors are great for holding the larger coupon booklets or Publix Advantage flyers.

INGLES 07/05

I made a quick stop at Ingles this week because they had a super price on country-style ribs at $1.48 per lb. And, while I really do not need any more cereal, I could not pass up Capn Crunch for 88¢ a box. They had Sunny D B1G1 and so I decided to pick up a couple, even though I did not have coupons. I also got 2 packs of bologna for 50¢ each and a free can of vitamin water. I forgot to put the ribs in the picture so what you see here was $4.56. The ribs were $7.89 for a large tray countaining 12 meaty ribs. Yum!

BI-LO SHOPPING TRIP 7/05

I saved a lot at Bi-Lo this week on a little bit of stuff. When I was making out my shopping lists, I missed the factthat Publix had the trail mix on sale for $1 and at Bi-Lo it was $1.20. I could have saved just a little more.
Total before saving was $32.12.
Total spent was $6.92

CVS TRIP 07/05

My CVS trip this week was a good one. Even though I don't need paper towels right now, I decided to pick some up while they were on sale. I got an 8-roll pack for 3.74 after coupons and the $1 ECB that I got for buying them. Here is my list:
1 Bounty Towels
4 Sobe Waters
1 3 Musketeers
6 Dove Deodarants
2 CVS PantiLiners
2 BioTune Solutions
I paid $5.24,plus $14 in ECB's and received $12.98 in ECB's.
So actually spent was $6.26. Not a bad trip.

LOTS OF FREEBIES

This is a pic of all the things that I got for free during my latest shopping trip. It does not include anything I got by playing the various drugstore games. It only includes the things that were free after coupons. The picture is a little fuzzy but this is what I got.

B1G1 coupons:
2 Sobe waters @ CVS
2 Tornados @ Publix
2 Mentos Rolls @ Bi-Lo

$ off coupons:
2 Mentos gum @ Bi-Lo
2 Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo @ Publix

WATCH MY SAVINGS

If you look to the right of this page, you will see that I have added something new. Each week, as I update my savings spreadsheets, I will also recalculate my coupon savings so that you can see exactly how much I save through the use of coupons. I still find it amazing!

PUBLIX TRIP 07/05

I had a great trip to Publix this week. I spent $36.66 and saved $92.71, $39.00 of which was with coupons. I think that it is very important for us to remember that much of our weekly savings is from store specials and if we don't have all of our coupons, we can still save a lot simply by shopping the various sales.

Some of my best deals were Kraft Sandwich Mayo for Free plus $1 overage, Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt 4pks for 25¢, All Laundry detergent for 99¢, Chinet napkins for 7¢, Philadelphia Cream Cheese for 25¢, and Muellers pasta for 14¢. In addition to what you see in the picture, I bought 4 12pks of Coke products for $10.98. So, I actually spent $25.68 for what you see in this picture.
