Scotch-Brite Sponges

I've been stocking up on Scotch-Brite sponges at Kroger!! :)

I was able to get $1/2 coupons, match the coupons up with the sale price at Kroger ($1 each), and since my store doubles $1 coupons, this meant FREE SPONGES for me!

Betty Crocker Potatoes FREE at Kroger!!!

It is not advertised at ALL at any Kroger I've been to, BUT if you buy any 3 Betty Crocker potatoes (pouch or box), there is a catalina out until 4-18-2010 that gives you $3 OYNO (on your next order) coupon.

The potatoe pouches at my Kroger are $1.00 each, everyday price....buy 3, get $3!

There are also manufacturers coupons out right now for these (.25/1, $1/2, etc), and when you use the manufactureres coupons on these pouches, you are actually getting PAID to take them out of the store!!! YEAH!! :)

A Quick Trip into Kroger

Since DH sent me to the bank this morning, I figured I was already half way to Krogers already, so decided to pop in there for a quick stop also. We live 25 minutes from the store, so I try to make the best use of any trips.

Total before Kroger card and coupons $73.17
Total spent $2.74
Total saved $70.43

It's hard to see that there are 3 Reach Flossers to the left, along with 6 Snickers candy bars....and 1 of the butters is behind the other two.

Then to add icing on the cake, after I paid, the catalina machine (coupon machine next to the register) spit out a $1.00 off my next shopping trip coupon and a coupon for $1.00 of another Smart Blend margarine, which will be FREE this week after the coupon is doubled!!!

Here is the bottom of my receipt, showing total spent (for 37 items!!!) and total saved (96%). Don't forget, our Krogers double $1.00 coupons.

So basically, I spent $2.74, but got back $3.00 worth in coupons......like getting paid to shop!! LOL!

Clearance Diapers at Walgreens

Yesterday, I was out and about and remembered that I had a Register Reward (RR) of $5.00 to use by today for Walgreens. So I stopped in to find something to spend it on, as I didn't have any coupons for any of the current sale deals.

Upon wondering around, I spotted the Walgreens Jumbo Pack (56 count!) of diapers, Size 1, on clearance for $2.19 a pack!!! There was 3 of the packs, so I went ahead and bought all 3 of them.

I used my RR of $5.00 and walked out with 168 diapers for only $1.98!!!

I do not have any little babies any more (my oldest is 15! LOL!), BUT I do have a very large family (DH is from a family of 13 himself!) and baby showers are non-stop here.

I plan on using these for baby shower gifts, with the next invitations that come our way! :)

Stocking PUREX from Kroger!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I've had a crazy busy past several months! :)

Last week, and this week too, Kroger is having their Daytona Deals, meaning if you buy 10 participating items, you automatically get $3.00 off your grocery bill.

Purex laundry soap happens to be one of those items!! YEAH! :)



Although I have utilized the Daytona Deal a few times throughout the last week, I've mainly been just buying two bottles at a time, due to a catalina coupon that you get when buying 2 (or 3 or more). The catalina coupon is for $4.00 on your next order if you buy 2, or $5.00 on your next order if you buy 3 or more. The better savings per bottle is by buying just 2 at a time.

Our store also doubles $1 coupons. By using the coupon for $1/2, the sale price (without the Daytona Deal) of $3.29 each, and then rolling the catalina ($4.00) each time I buy two bottles, I'm paying just .91 cents for 2 bottles!

The picture shows 33 of the 35 bottles I currently have (2 of the bottles are in my laundry room), and of course, my cat, Rico, that has to investigate EVERYTHING. I have enough coupons for 10 more bottles this week!

Kroger Paid Me to Shop! :)

Here is what the grocery store (Kroger) paid me .13 cents to take out of their store last night! Total savings of $23.00! :)





If you are wondering "How?!", here is how I did it:

I'll type the regular prices first:

Dole Mandarine Oranges $1.89 ea
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter $2.08 ea
Danimals Yogurt Cups $2.29
Danimals Yogurt Smoothies $2.29
Platex Gloves $2.79
Idahoan Potatoes $1.39

With the store reward card, you get these sale prices on sale items:

Dole Mandarine Oranges $1.00 ea
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter $1.79 ea
Danimals Yogurt Cups $2.29
Danimals Yogurt Smoothies $2.29
Platex Gloves $1.00
Idahoan Potatoes $1.00

The store reward card is important: You get the sale prices, promotions and gas reward points.

The store is also having what they call a "Mega Event" Sale, which means that if you buy 10 (mix and match) of certain items that are included in this promotion, you'll also automatically get an additional $5.00 off for every 10 items. There is no limit of how many sets of 10 items you can buy, so if you were to buy 10 of the promotion items, you get $5 off, if you bought 100 items, you'd get $50 off, etc. ;)

With the above promotion, the actual prices now are as follows (the items with a '*' in front are part of the promotion):

*Dole Mandarine Oranges $0.50 ea
*I Can't Believe It's Not Butter $1.29 ea
*Danimals Yogurt Cups $1.79
*Danimals Yogurt Smoothies $1.79
*Platex Gloves $0.50
Idahoan Potatoes $1.00

Now the fun begins!!! LOL!
COUPONS!!!

With the store reward card, you automatically get Super Double $1.00 Coupons, meaning that if you have a $1 coupon, it doubles up to the price of the item, and this doubling occurs BEFORE the Mega Event prices, since the Mega Event savings comes off the total bill, not as individual items. ;)

The coupons I used are as follows:

$1.00 off 5 Dole canned fruit
$1.00 off 2 ICBINB
$1.00 off any Danimals (I used 2 coupons, as I bought 2)
$1.00 off any Platex Gloves
and one coupon for FREE Idahoan flavored mashed potatoes up to $1.69 (found this coupon THAT NIGHT on the parking lot as I stepped out of the car!!! YEAH!!!)
The cashier had to put in the price and she put in $1.29.

After sale prices, mega pricing, and doubled coupons, here are the prices:

5 Dole = $0.50 total
2 ICBINB = $0.58 total
2 Danimals = -$0.42
1 Platex = -$0.50
1 Idahoan = -$0.29

So you can see that the Platex gloves covered the Dole fruit, and then the negetive amounts on the Danimals and Idahoan potatoes over covered the ICBINB by -$0.13, which is what my total was and they gave me the .13 cents!
