AMAZING GROCERY SHOPPING TRIP!!!!

 

I do not usually take a picture and post all of my purchases together, but I feel so good about today's trip, that I just had to see it all together. I'm not going to go into details. This trip had more meat than usual, including 2 boxes of popcorn shrimp, 6 bags of meatballs, 1 tray of large meatballs, and 2 packs of premium lunch meat. It also included 9 single-serve entrees. The total retail value was $191.91 and I paid just $48.75. That's a savings of $143.66 or 75%. That's better than my average savings. I will post separate stores and savings later.

AWESOME TRIP TO CVS

I haven't really shopped CVS very much for the last year, until recently. I've had several great trips recently, and thought I'd share the last one. I actually was planning to do the paper goods deal, but they were out of the Sparkle towels. I didn't get a raincheck because I was planning to stop into another store, and just didn't. LOL! Oh, well, all deals come again. I started with $20 ECBs plus a $4 ECB that they sent to my email. In my calculations, I consider this a coupon because I did not buy anything to earn it. I also had a $5 off $15 purchase coupon. This is what I bought this week. I'm not gonna break it down, since the sale is over. I did 3 transactions and left the store with $22.60 in ECBs.

4 12pks Coke
4 Boxes Excedrin
2 Colgate Toothpaste
2 Bags M&M's
5 Always Discreet
1 Brookside Trial size
2 Scott Tissue Rolls
2 Loreal Advanced Hair Care

The total retail value of what I bought was $104.47.
My total out of pocket was $7.02. After adjusting for coming out with more ECBs than I went in with, the total is $4.42.

Now I have to figure out how I'm gonna use all those ECBs and the $4 off $20 purchase coupon I got this week.
 

HIGH-VALUE WINDEX COUPONS & MORE

It's been a long time since I've printed coupons from the Right-At-Home site. Whether they simply did not issue any, or I missed them, I'm not sure. I did have to re-register in order to print the latest ones, but it only took about 10 seconds and was well worth it. Go HERE to register and print your coupons for:

$2.00 off any Windex product
$2.00 off 2 Ziploc brand products
$2.00 off Glade product, excludes solids and 8 oz aerosol

You do have to share the coupon in order to get these values. If you choose not to share, you can still print coupons for $1.00 off each.

If you also have the Publix coupon for .75 off Windex, you can get a super deal at Publix right now. Windex products are 25% off, which would make the trigger spray bottle free. This coupon was in the "Start The Year Out With Big Savings" Booklet and expires on 2/12.

I printed all three coupons. I'm sure there are deals for Glade and Ziploc right around the corner.

GOOD PRICE ON OREOS

If you're like me, you may be holding on to a couple of those Oreos coupons that we printed a couple of weeks ago, just waiting for a good sale. Well, here it is. Bi-Lo is having a 3-day sale, and their Oreos are just $2.48 each. Now, I'm not gonna say that this is the best price I've seen on Oreos, but it is the best price I've seen in the last six months or so. Pair the sale with our .50 coupon, and we will pay just $1.48 per pack. This sale runs 1/18-1/20.

 

GOOD THINGS AT DOLLAR GENERAL

Did you guys know that Dollar General now has digital coupons, in addition to their printable ones? Simply go to their site, create an account, and load your coupons. Not only do they occasionally offer Dollar General coupons, but manufacturers' coupons can be loaded to your account, as well.  When you are ready to use your coupons, all you have to do is enter your phone number on their keypad, and your eligible coupons will be applied to your purchase.

Another good thing at Dollar General is that they DO allow overage. Of course, this overage can only be applied to your other purchases. They can not give you any money back.

Go HERE to read their complete coupon policy.

 

AWESOME NEW CREAM CHEESE COUPOM

There is an awesome new coupon on coupons.com this morning for Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Go HERE to print your coupon for .50 off one 8 oz. bar. This coupon is very rare and doesn't pop up very often. If you are a Publix shopper you will be able to use this with their upcoming sale, when it will be on sale for $1.50. With the coupon, you will be able to buy it for just .50, if your store doubles.

PRINTING COUPONS FROM YOUR IPAD OR IPHONE

Did you know that you can print coupons coupons.com from your Ipad or IPhone? If you want to print directly, you must have an Air Print capable printer. An inexpensive one is the Epson XP-400. I have one and am very pleased with it when I want to print an extra set of coupons. With most coupon sites, you have to email them to your home computer, but if you've already printed them, you can't print them again. However, with coupons.com, you can actually get a second set. You can even change zip codes to search for coupons in that are specific to another area. To do this, simply change your zip code in the settings section within the coupon app. Here are the steps.

1. Download the coupons.con app to your Ipad or IPhone.        

2. Set it up for the area that you want.
3. Search for and clip coupons.
4. Click on view coupons.
5. Click on print to print, or email to email them to yourself.
6. The device should find your capable printer.
7. Click on it to print your coupons.

I also have a Brother laser printer, which I use for most coupons. One thing to note about printing on a color printer from coupons.com. Even if your printer is set to print in grayscale or black & white, the site overrides this and prints the coupons in color. One reason I like this particular Epson printer is that the color cartridges are separate and you only have to replace the color that is empty.
 

"FREE" COKE 12-PACK ON MY COKE REWARDS

Do you have a bunch of points sitting in your My Coke Rewards account just waiting on a good offer. Well, here it is. Right now, you can get a coupon for a free Coke 12-pack for just 30 points. I'm pretty sure this offer will end today, so long in to your account now to  redeem those points.

BONUS FUEL PERKS TODAY ONLY

If you are planning to give any gift cards this holiday season, be sure to stop into Bi-Lo today. They are awarding 25 cents fuel perks for every $50 you buy in gift cards. This is 5 times the usual award. Or buy the cards for your own personal use. They have a large selection including gas stations, restaurants and more. My personal favorites are Lowes and Amazon.

For those of you who don't know what fuel perks are, 25 cents in fuel perks means 25 cents off per gallon of gas at participating stations. 

COUPONS FROM AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE

About a year ago I subscribed to Star magazine on a super deal of just $30 for a 3-year subscription. I just took this week's issue out of my mailbox, and, lo and behold, there was a banner across the top that read "$15 IN COUPONS INSIDE!" I quickly flipped through it and found the following coupons.

$5 off any Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen (ex 12/31/14)
$3 off one Cake Boss cake (ex 2/28/15)
$1 off one Cake Boss mix, frosting, + other various products (ex 2/28/15
$2 off one Tresemme Wash & Care product (ex 12/15/14)
$1,50 0ff one Gold Bond Eczema Relief Cream, Diabetics Dry Skin Relief, or Rough & Bumpy Skin (ex 1/05/15)
$1.50 off one Gold Bond any lotion, 13 oz+ (ex 1/05/15)
$1 off one Gold Bond Lotion or Cream 2.4 oz - 8.1 oz (ex 1/05/15)

I truly hope that Star continues to have coupons, especially since it's a weekly publication.

LAUNDRY DETERGENT FOR 0.99

I was only allowed to print one of these.

VERY RARE COUPON AVAILABLE

I noticed on coupons.com this morning that a very rare Nabisco coupon has become available. Go HERE to print your .50 off one Nabisco product, 9 oz. or larger. It is very seldom that we see this type of coupon. Publix currently has Chips Ahoy on BOGO, so you could really get a sweet deal right now.  It also appears that the Honey Maid Coupon has been reset, so feel free to print that one again.

HONEY MAID COUPON

Another really awesome and rare coupon that popped up this morning is the .50 off one Honey Maid Graham Crackers. Publix currently has these on BOGO, so you can get hem for just over $1. Great deal! Go HERE to print your coupon now.

VERY RARE OREOS COUPON

While scrolling through coupons.com this morning, I spotted a real rarity. There is a coupon for .50 off of one Oreo cookies. It has been a long time since I've seen an Oreos coupon. I found it under zip 10001. Go HERE to print yours now, because it probably won't last long. With the holidays fast-approaching, I'm sure these will be on sale soon, and the coupon does not expire until 12/31.

CHILDREN'S LEARNING TABLET FOR $14

I am signed up to receive Saveology Daily Deals. In my email today, I received an offer to purchase a Children's learning tablet for just $14, shipping included. This tablet is recommended for children over 3 years old.

I am currently debating this purchase because I know that it would make an awesome Christmas present. But, as has been my habit for years, I purchased Christmas presents after Christmas last year.

If you are not already registered for Saveology, you can do that HERE.

GREAT DEAL ON HELLMAN'S MAYO AT BILO FOR SOME

If you get the Best Meals At Home coupons from Publix, you can get an awesome deal on Hellman's Mayo at Bi-Lo right now. That is, if your Bi-Lo accepts Publix coupons. Right now, Bi-Lo is offering Hellman's Buy One, Get One Free @ $5.29. That's just $2.64 each. There is a BMAH coupon for $2 off, making the Hellman's just 0.64 each.

If you do not get the Publix coupons, go HERE to sign up now. However, it will take a couple of weeks for you to start receiving the coupons, so you won't have them in time for this sale. This sale ends on Tuesday, October 14.

This coupon was also available in the Publix sales paper dated 9/24, and can be found on a standee in many Publix stores.

I would advise that you call your store first to see if they accept Publix coupons. Also, please remember that Bi-Lo prices do vary.

FREE CANDY FROM SAVINGSTAR

Are you a member of Savingstar? If not, you should definitely consider signing up. It is a totally free program that offers you money back on everyday purchases. You do not get the savings at the register; they accrue until you have $25 in your account, and then you can cash out in several different ways. My favorite is a Paypal deposit because then I can either spend it from there or transfer it into my bank account.

In order to participate in Savingstar, you would go HERE to register. Then you register each of your stores' discount cards, including grocery stores and drug stores. Then just simply load the offers to your account. The next time you buy those products using one of the cards you've registered, the coupon amount will be posted to your account. This can take up to 30 days, depending on how fast your store uploads their sales.

Every Friday, Savingstar offers a freebie. That is one coupon you can load and when you purchase that product using one of your cards, the full purchase price is posted to your Savingstar account. This weeks they are offering a free Almond Joy or Mounds bar. This offer is good for one regular-sized candy bar and expires on Sunday.
