Adventures in Couponing.

There’s been a lot going on with the Philippi family lately, but we still gotta eat!  Today I’m sharing some of my recent deals.

Fred Meyer (a Kroger store) had buy 3 Neutrogena soaps, get $5 back.  I had coupons for $3 off 2.  So I bought 4.
$2.09 x 4 = $8.36
– (2) $3 coupons
pay $2.36
get back $5 = $2.64 moneymaker!  (I did this twice.)

They also had a deal on cereal.  $1.67 each.  I had coupons for $1 off 2 which make them $1.17 each.  Then I paid for 4 of them with my $5 from the Neutrogena.  Did this deal twice.  The Snapware was $7something, marked down to $6something, with an additional % off clearance making it $2.37, and I have $2 Snapware coupons = 37¢

I mentioned before that Fred Meyer has digital coupons that you can load to your store card.  And there is a free item to download each Friday.  The yogurt was free last week, and the diet bars were free this week.  They had a $1 digital coupon for the popcorn which made it $1, and a 50¢ coupon off 2 pounds of pears, so I paid $1.26 for 5 pears.

My son called me at the office to tell me that he had called up Target to see how much their Valentine clearance was going for and since it was 90%, could we go when I got home.  90%?  Oh yeah, we’re there.

I came across a slick little deal on cake mixes while we were there.  Buy 10 at $1.13 each = $11.30, use (4) $1 off 2 coupons = $7.30.  And then you get a $5 Target gift card back.  Do this deal again, and pay with the Target gift card.  23¢ a box.

Ragu was on sale at Walgreens for $1.50.  I had coupons for 50¢ off 2 = $1.25 each.  Not a bad price.  But I also had $8 in Register Rewards to use – so that made them 25¢ each.  I needed to add 6 extra items to my order (you have to have more things than you have coupons for when you are using Register Rewards) so I found these Angry Bird freezer pops for 50¢ each.  A bit much for a filler item, but we will use them up in the summer time for sure.

Last stop was the Walmart.  I made $1.02 on each protein shake pack, and 7¢ on the nail polish.  So I had $3.13 to play with.  Soy sauces were $1.52, and I had 55¢ coupons making those 97¢ x 2 = $1.94.  The biscuits were 58¢ each, and I had coupons for $1 off 3, making it $1.48 for 6.  That takes me to $3.42, less my $3.13 overage = 29¢ for all.

    Great deals! We don’t have a Krogers up in the north. I know they are down south though from vacationing down south we shopped there. We have a Weis store where we live. You can get some good deals there too. It always feels good to get good deals and save money.
