Adventures in Couponing.

Posted by Michelle on March 18th, 2012 . Filed under: Couponing .

Hello and welcome to another one of my coupon adventures.  We got a lotttttt of stuff at the Walmart this week – Wednesdays and Saturdays they double coupons because KMart doubles coupons on those days and then on Sundays when Albertsons has double coupons, they will double then as well.  A lot of shopping – and a lot of saving, so let’s get to it.

Free Yoplaits and Activias, milk for $1 a gallon, 68-cent YoCrunch 4-packs, and 1 random YoCrunch Oreo for 8-cents.

$3.98 for the 2-pound cheeses (probably could have waited for a better deal to come along, but we needed it so I got it for $2-off while I could), $2 packs of string cheese, free Tuscan butter (sooooo good on grilled cheese sammies!), 18-cent Country Crock spread, and $1.50 for OJ.

006 copy

9-cent Kraft Fresh Takes (if you haven’t tried these, you are missing out), $2.98 Hormel meat loaf, and 98-cent cinnamon apples.

009 copy

38-cent fruit snacks.  We were completely out so I bought all that I could with the coupons that I had.

013 copy

32-cent Panko which I should not have gotten because we already had plenty so I don’t know what the heckles I was thinking, and 4-cent fish fry which we’ll probably use more for okra and fried green tomatoes than fish.

014 copy

Free Pretzel Crisps, and 40-cent mini boxes of Keebler crackers.

017 copy

33-cent Uncle Ben’s rice, 50-cent mac & cheese, 74-cent Jasmine rice which is the most delicate yummy white rice ever, 48-cent Rice-A-Roni, and 68-cents for 2-pound bags of white rice.

019 copy

Free Hormel kid’s meals, 8-cent tuna pouches, and 38-cents for Underwood roast beef spread.

022 copy

10-cent Libby’s veggies, free Las Palmas enchilada sauce & free Ortega chiles, and pickles for 18-cents.

024 copy

88-cent Welch’s jelly, 98-cent Planter’s peanut butter, 48-cent Dole fruit crisps and 98-cents for Welch’s grape drinks.

025 copy

34-cent Lipton iced teas, $1 Crystal Lights, and free coffee for my mom.

029 copy

$1.94 for the Hershey packs – stocking up now for camping season and while I had coupons for them, free single packs of Dentyne gum, 18-cent multipacks of Dentyne gum, and $1.98 Ghirardelli bars.  The green Dentyne multipacks and the green Ghirardellis went in to a St. Patrick’s Day package for my friend.  And the rest of the gum went in to my nephew’s birthday package.  Still great deals, although I normally don’t pay anything for gum, but because they were for gifts and not just random, I’m OK with it.

We got a new dishwasher and it came with coupons for some Finish products which I don’t use, but I got all 3 of these items for just a couple of dollars, 97-cent napkins, 8-cent Dawn, and $1 for Ziploc bags.  We go through a lot of baggies with my husband and I taking our lunches and snacks to work every day so I need to do a cost comparison with getting them in the big box at Costco.

035 copy

Free Clorox wipes, free Renuzits, 26-cents for the Renuzit Fresh Accents (went in the aforementioned St. Patrick’s Day package because they’re green too), 17-cents for Lava soap, and then I found 1 Clorox2 pen on clearance for $2.50, doubled $1 and got it for 50-cents.

037 copy

50-cent Tums, 48-cent Pampers wipes (use these at my craft table), free diapers (I’ll use these to barter with another couponer I know who has a garden and will trade her for some veggies), 48-cent Cottonelle “butt wipers” as my kids call them, and free cat treats.

040 copy

Free shavers for the Christmas care packages we’re doing for the VA hospital this year, 96-cent Garnier shampoo & conditioners, $1.47 for batteries, and free toothbrushes.

045 copy

*whew*  Busy week.  What about you?  Any exciting savings to share?

    Wow that was a crazy lot of stuff. The tuscan butter looks yummy. I did get a deal this week. I got a 129 dollar Ikea chair cover (brand new!!) for 24 bucks. I found it in the IKEA last chance section. It took my daughter and I awhile to find all the pieces but its a steal!

    Wow! Awesome deals! I still don’t get it how it works! Is it different from state to state? Any tips on getting free diapers and wipes?
    I found your blog through crafting, but I just can’t get over your couponing trips! :o)

    Whew is right. I don’t totally understand how it works either, but you sure got some good deals. Love your St Paddy’s Day card too 🙂

    Holy s***! Sorry. I had to say that. I thought I did fairly well couponing but you beat me by a long shot! I live in Northern CA so no doubling over here. Work with what I got I guess lol! Great deals!
