THINGS I GOT FOR FREE THIS WEEK


This is a picture of the things that I got for free this week using coupons and/or cash back offers.  While I don't normally include cash back offers in my savings, I think it's time to do so. These offers have become a regular part of my savings. However, I do not purchase anything special just because of these offers, unless it is an item from Savingstar that offers 100% cash back.

3 Hamburger Helpers (only 2 pictured)  Retail value $1.69 each, on sale for $1.
    I used (2) .50 off 1 coupons, which doubled,  (1) .75 off 3 coupon, and received $1 back from Savingstar for buying 5. That makes the final cost just $1.25 for 5 boxes.
1 Lindsay Natural Olives : Retail value $3.59
    I used one coupon for $4.99 off, making this a $1.40 moneymaker
2 Nabisco Snack cups (Retail value $1.59 each, on sale for $1)
    I used a printable coupon for "Buy Hunts snack pack, get cookies free."
4 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (Retail value $1.59 each, on sale for $1) (Only 2 pictured)
    I used (2) .50/1 coupons, doubled), (1) $1 off 2 coupon, and received $1 back from Savingstar for buying 2. This makes all 4 cans free.
7 Zone Perfect Nutrition Bars (Retail value $1 each)
    I used (7) .50 off 1 coupons, doubled, making them all free.
1 pack Idahoan Instant Potatoes (retail value $1.39)
    I used a free coupon from Bi-Lo.
1 Campbell's Organic Soup (Retail value $3.29, on sale for $2.50)
    I used a $1 off coupon and received $2.50 back from Savingstar, making this a $1 moneymaker.

The total value of these items, on sale, was $23.48.
The total value was $31.87.

This was a good week for freebies!
