Call me crazy.............

Call me crazy but I ran to the other Jewel tonight on the search for the All detergent (I was able to print some more coupons from their website) which my Jewel was out of. So, I grabbed my coupons and Alex and I took off. We did 3 transactions and ended up making money again! I LOVE when that happens!


Transaction #1:
8 Pillsbury refrigerated cookie dough - $20.00 (sale price $29.20)
1 Bugles - $1.67 (sale price - $2.57)
1 bag of salad - $2.00
Total was $23.97 less $4.00 in coupons and $15.00 in cats - $4.97 oop (out of pocket) and received $15.00 in cats.

Transaction #2:
4 Chex Mix Selects – $6.67 (sale price $12.67) *Selects have a higher "sale" price than regular*
8 Chex Mix regular - $13.33 (sale price $20.54)
Total was $20.36 less $3.00 in coupons and $15 in cats - $2.36 oop and received $15 in cats.

Transaction #3:
10 yogurts (5 YoPlus & 5 Fiber One) - $20.00 (sale price $32.50)
3 Green Giant frozen corn - $5.00 (sale price $6.80)
8 Knorr Pasta Sides with Veggies - $8.00 (sale price 21.60) *see comment below
1 Knorr Pasta sides - $1.00 (sale price $1.60)
Total was $34.60 less $10.00 in coupons and $20 in cats - $4.60 oop and received $30 in cats.


The third transaction is where I made the money! Even if I would not have used any previous Catalina coupons, I would have paid $24.60 (after tax and coupons) and gotten the $30 in cats! All of the coupons were from inserts (mostly today’s). I 4 bought extra copies today which cost me $4 at Menards but I more than made up for that with just 1 transaction!


*The Knorr Pasta sides with Veggies are a real money maker! The “sale” price for those is $2.70 each (at my store – make sure you scan at your store to check the price!) and the preferred price is $1.00. If you can find 11 of them and have 3 $1/3 coupons from 8/2RP – you will pay $8.00 and get back $15!!!! The problem is finding that many at one time. Even if you will not eat these, buy them - use the overage for your produce, meat, whatever and donate them to the food pantry!


I swear I am done for today – there’s always tomorrow! ;-)


Happy shopping everyone!
