Super Saturday Saving$ 2

I always try to bring my coupon binder to the store for large sales events because as you will see not all sales are advertised and it makes me sad to miss out on a really good deal. Stay tuned for more information and pictures of my binder.

Can't Believe it's Not Butter (not advertised) $1.39 used 1/$1 printable spent .39

Claussen Pickles (not advertised) $2.49 used 1/$1 printable spend $1.49

Johnsonville brats and Italian Sausage $2.99 used 1/$.55 printable spent $1.99

Earth Grains bread products with peelies making them .99 for GOOD bread!

4 Quaker Rice Cakes .49 used 1/.79 insert spent $0


Finish $3.49 used insert 1/$2.50 spent .99

Hormel canned Special Chili $1.29 (less with 10 sale but I can't remember how much but here is what I do know) 4 cans of chili for FREE!

6 boxes for Ritz $1.99 used 6 1/$1 inserts and printables spent $5.94

4 cans of planters nuts $2.49 used 4 1/$1 peelies (had planned on using 2/$1 inserts but what luck!) spent $5.96

I will be filling out this rebate to get $10 back, making it $1.90 for it all.

Deli Cuts were a surprise too, not a great sale but a needed item we enjoy and it was on sale and I had coupons in my binder.

So because I dragged my binder I was able to get 4 cans of chili for FREE, GREAT deal on Can't Believe it's Not Butter, and a good deal on pickles and sandwich meats.

Shelf Price $213.67 spent $60.87, $50.87 after MIR!

Super Saturday Saving$

King Soopers is having their Mega 10 Sale Event this week. I wanted to share some successes with you.

This blog shows my co-addict's success and struggles, we'll call her Destiny. The picture to the left shows all her items purchased today. Personally I think she did really good and I'm proud of her success.

She got $217.85 items for only $94.17, which comes to $79.17 after she does her MIR.s

Here are some of the super savings Destiny was able to get...

4 Ziploc containers - $1.99 used insert 2/$1.50 spent $4.96 on 4, she will fill out this rebate and make .04!

10 boxes of Nabisco crackers - $1.70 used insert and printable 1/$1 spent $7.00 Destiny will spend her Sunday filling out this rebate making her a profit of $3!

Frank's Red Hot Sauce - $1.49 used insert 1/.50 spent .49

Here is one thing to keep in mind when doing the 10 sales, if 10 items are required for the best savings, make sure items are placed in the right place on the shelves. Sometimes people pick up items that aren't part of the sale and place them on the sale shelf. Being unaware of this can cost you $$$ just ask Destiny.

How did your King Soopers shopping turn out?

Cheerios Recipe Idea

Did you pick up as many boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios as I did last week?

I'm going to try this recipe for breakfast this weekend.  I wonder if I can get the husband to eat it.

What recipes do you have in mind for all your Cheerios?

How to double your savings!

Have you checked out Shortcuts.com and Cellfire.com for ecoupons yet?  I love these sites, they allow for me to double up coupons and save sorting time all at once. 

Here is an example of how you can use these free services to your benefit.

This is only an example these items are NOT on sale this week.

Toll House Dough is $5.00 at Safeway.  You have a 1/.50 insert or printable coupon.  After Safeway doubles your coupon the cookie dough is now $4.00, not bad, a dollar saved is a dollar earned.  However if you add the cellfire 1/.50 coupon to your member card the dough is now $3.50.  Check out this blog for real life examples.

Here are some things to keep in mind when using your ecoupons...

• Ecoupons are not doubled like other printed or insert coupons.
• If they run a special where you have to buy X dollar amount to get X back.  Pay attention to your ecoupons because they are taken off in the beginning as items are scanned and throw off the dollar spent.  Insert and printable coupons are taken off at the end, which allows you to hit your dollar amount before coupons.  The benefit to this is less out of pocket.
• There is a limit of the number of coupons your card will hold, I find it best to load it with coupons that match your insert coupons.

Shopping 1/21 Safeway

I went shopping this evening and wanted to share my adventure.
Update -
Sargento Cheese does not allow for coupon use.
Blueberries sold out, will return and possibly get rain check.
Shortcuts didn't work for Rosarita beans making them .65 wyb 3
But many things turned out better than I thought see below...



Purchased 11 boxes of honey nut cheerios and 1 box Cinnamon Toast Crunch - $12.00 used, 1/.55 shortcuts, 6/$1 (forced to use as .99) PAID .45 each box.

4 Boxes Betty Crocker Potatoes - 2.97 1/.40 x 3 shortcuts, 1/.35 insert x 4 x multiplied = PAID -.25 a box.

2 Progressive Soups - 2.22 2/.50 shortcuts x 4, 2/.50 insert x multiplied = PAID -.39 a can

3 Rosarita Beans - 2.97 3/.50 insert x multiplied = PAID .65 not sure why shortcuts didn't work.

3 Lean Pockets - 4.50 1/.55 shortcuts x 2, 3/$1 printable = PAID .80 way cheaper than McDonalds for breakfast.

Advil 40 count - 4.99 1/$2 insert = 2.99 I will be doing a MIR for $5.00 so that will be a money maker of $2.01. Also there was a peeling for 1/$2 that's good until 2012. Did you see the MIR in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago?

Shelf price $74.95, spent $11.37 after MIR. 85% saving!!

For work I did some things to get the kiddos some treats...

I bought 8 boxes of fruit by the foot in 2 transactions, they were thrilled. One was .50 and I got 2.50 Catalina, and the other was 2.00 and I got 2.50 Catalina. So for 8 boxes we spent nothing and made $2.50.

So grand total was shelf price $97.27, spent 11.37
88% savings.

Share your adventures!

Football Party Food 1/17 - 1/23

My husband dropped it on me last minute that we were having guests over for the game today. I do not stockpile junk food because well I eat it. But I was happy to see Walgreens was having a spend $20 on Tostitos and Pepsi products get $10 RR.

$1 Gatorade (32 oz.)

$2.50 Doritos, Tostitos, or Lays chips (12 oz. or larger), Stacy’s Pita Chips (6 oz. or larger)

$2.50 Tostitos Salsa or Queso (15 oz.)

$3.00 Pepsi Fridgemate (12 ct.)

$1.25 Pepsi 2-Liters , note I only saw signs on the Diet, Regular, and Mountain Dew bottles.

Here is my scenario:

$5.00 5 Gatorades

$2.50 1 Bag of Tostitos

$2.50 1 Tostitos Queso

$5.00 2 Tositios Salsa

$2.50 2 2-liters of Pepsi

$2.50 1 Stacy's Pita (not by chips, it was stored by the nuts and 2 liters)

Coupons I used:

1 $1/1 Stacy’s Pita Printable (ALL YOU)

$1 off Tostitos Chips AND Tostitos Dip (ALL YOU Jan ‘10)

2-$1.00/2 Gatorade G2 (RP 01/10/10)

Paid 16.00

Got $10 RR

True cost $6.00

I will be submitting Coors Light Rebate after we pick up a 12-pack as we live in CO and we have to purchase the beer to get the rebate. However this is my husband's beer of choice so it's worth it. Personally I like to think this makes me the world's greatest wife!

The rebate will be for $10.00, so that's a $4.00 profit before the beer is purchased. I realize that I will not make a profit in the end after the beer purchase but it was an adventure and as I said world's greatest wife.

(Thanks couponingtodisney for rebate info)
