So, Amanda is gone overnight on a Student Council field trip and I didn't feel like cooking after cooking all day at work - yay - my month of cooking is over for the school year! Actually, it went very, very well - by far the least stressful time cooking since I started 4 years ago. It's not easy making sure you have enough food to feed 1050 teenage kids each day! Anyway, Alex, Doug and I went to Skippy's for some much needed greasy comfort food! After dinner, we went to Target and I cleaned up!
They have a good deal on Glade Holiday candles right now - $2.50 each but you get a $5 Target gift card when you buy 5. So, $10 less 2 $1.50/2 coupons from 11/1SS and I had a $2 coupon that I clipped from somewhere but have no idea where so now it's $5.00 after coupons. Well, after the gift card - FREE!
I also had received a Target booklet full of Target coupons in the mail a month or so ago. If you also received this, the coupons expire 12/7 so you need to use them in the next few days! Here is what I got using those and stacking with some manufacturer's coupons:
1 Febreze Luminary Starter - $13.09 & 1 Febreze refills - $4.99 -- I used a $1/2 Target coupon and $3.50 off the starter and $1 off refill mfg. coupons from 11/29P&G - $12.58
Scrubbing Bubbles mega shower foaming cleaner - $4.14 (yikes! but I needed it - it's the best!) - used $1/1 Target and $1/1 mfg. -11/1SS - coupons - $2.14
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner - $1.89 - used $1 Target coupon and $.40 mfg. coupon - 11/8SS - $.49
Stacy's Pita chips (yum!) - $3.00 - used $1 Target & $1 mfg -11/15SS - coupons - $1.00
True North snacks - $2.54 - used $1 Target and $1 mfg - 11/22SS - coupons - $.54
Uncle Ben's chicken rice - $1.92 - used $.50 Target & $1 mfg - 11/8RP - coupons - $.42
2 Sobe Lifewaters - $2.00 - used $.25 coupon - I had 2 but for some reason the cash register did not want to take the second one - ????? -$1.75
Dannon Activia drinkable yogurt - $1.99 - used $1 Target & $1 mfg - 11/1SS -coupons - $.01MM
2 Clean & Clear products (with free small sample bottles attached) - $7.40 - used 2 $2 IP coupons I told you about earlier - $5.40
2 Softsoap hand soap - $1 - used $1 Target coupon - Free
Then we stopped at Jewel on the way home to get some more meat. I picked up:
4 packages of Perdue Boneless Chicken Tenders - 3.28 lbs - $9.19
1 package of 2 pack Pub burgers - .65 lb - $1.95
3 packages of Perdue boneless skinless breasts - 3.61 lbs.- $10.10.
7.54 pounds of meat - $21.24 but after the $8.20 instant discount, I paid $13.14 - that comes out to $1.74 per lb of meat! Great price!
Back in February, I bought a small upright freezer at Jewel for $149.99 that had $150.00 worth of coupons that came with it. I didn't need the freezer so I gave it to my brother and his family and they were very thankful! :-) I have used several of the coupons at a BOGO sale to maximize the amount I get for each coupon but the end of the year is rapidly approaching and I figured since I will be busy for the next few weeks, I would just cash in the rest of them because the chances of those items going on a BOGO sale in the next 3 weeks is not great - maybe a couple of items but I don't want to let them expire! I have been able to get $86.42 worth of groceries with the coupons that I have used before. Tonight, I used 16 coupons and only 1 item was BOGO. I got $94.65 worth of groceries using those coupons tonight. So, all in all, I have gotten $181.07 worth of groceries for $150 and was able to make my brother happy too by giving them the freezer! :-) Jewel does this every year around February so keep an eye out if you need a freezer - you just have to be patient and save those coupons for a BOGO sale! I may do this again next year - hmmmm.........who needs a freezer?????????? Maybe I could donate it to one of the schools or the food pantry (then I could use it as a tax deduction too) - I guess we shall see.
Final stop - Walgreen's. Picked up 2 more Complete saline solutions - these NEVER are super cheap so I am stocking up! With all four of us in contacts, we go through it like crazy. We got 4 2 ltr. bottles of Diet Coke for work and also got a couple of the Goody ponytail holders as part of my nieces (I have a lot of them!) Christmas gifts. Shhhhh..... don't tell them if you know them! :-) Used our last 2 Complete solution $1 coupons. We did 2 separate transactions - we paid $24.86 after sales tax ($15.12 and $9.74) and got back $22.00 in RR's! Next week's Wags deals are going to be really good! Especially the 4 day one - they will have the double pack of Renu Saline solution for free - well it will be a MM with coupons! I will write the post up this weekend. CVS looks pretty good too.
So, again it's been a good shopping day! I hope you have a great weekend - try to keep warm!
Happy Shopping!
