I wasn’t going to go, after what my friends Katy and Chris had said, I wasn’t going to try. Then I saw a deal around 3:00. One of tomorrow’s deals is working today. Fiber One cereal, Honey variety-buy 4 and it spits out a free gallon of milk catalina, value $4.50. The Fiber One also has a shelf price of 4.99, sale price of 2.00, works in the 15/30 deal, and I had several $1.10 off one coupons. My inner miser couldn’t resist–I love double-dip deals. Plus coupons, plus $$ back…..I just had to go.
I ended up doing 3 transactions. I wanted to get 8 boxes of Fiber One, 7 would cover my $30 and give me cats for milk and the $15, but the 8th one, at $0.90 cost, would hopefully generate another milk cat. No luck–Acme only had 5 boxes, so I got 4 and yet more Cheerios. Anyway, after three transactions, here are my totals.
4 boxes of Gogurt
4 of the DHA Yoplait Kids yogurt
3 packs of Pampers
4 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios
4 boxes of the Fiber One Honey Cereal
1 gallon of skim milk
2 half gals of Tropicana Pure Premium
4 bags of mini mint Three Musketeers
Before coupons & catalinas:
$122.55
After sales, coupons, catalinas, my final cash oop:
$6.40
And I still have a $5 baby catalina and three more $5 catalinas from the promo.
The Three Musketeers are on clearance for $0.75 a bag. Use your $1 off 2 coupon from this past Sunday’s paper, and you pay $0.25 a bag. I’ve never tried them but I will take them to school and use them as small incentive prizes when we review for exams and tests.
The milk catalina, it scans at full value of $4.50. I got overage, as my gallon of milk was only $3.37.
The moms on HCW tell me that the Gogurt freezes just fine, let’s hope so because that’s where it is. And at the price of free, I had to try it. The other yogurts luckily have February exp dates, so we’re good for a while.
I’m sooooooo tempted to go back this evening and do some more, it’s so addicting. But I’m already in my jammies and am ready for bed. Good Night.
Tomorrow brings us a Quaker and Ocean Spray deal, so there will be plenty to do.
Wow–you are awesome!!
I only did some very small deals at Acme this week. I did the Pampers deal twice, but hubs and I are on South Beach so didn’t want to do the cereal/bisquick/bars and I was already stocked up on tide. I rolled my cats from the first diaper deal into my regular groceries. Had to got to 3 other Acmes the next day to find my size fives. Now I have $15 to start off this week, plus $5 baby cat.
What do you like this week??
The Kraft South Beach stuff shows up on my Avenu all the time. I’ve often gotten items for free or next to nothing combined with mfr coupons and sales.
