Fry's Trip Today - June 23 Thursday...Great Deals-a Few Lessons Learned

Sooo...I made a few mistakes today...still an awesome trip but a few things for y'all and myself to continue to watch out for in the future:

1.  I found some deals too good to pass up and bought some "off my list" items!  This happens and still great sales, however I went over my budget.  I wanted to spend $41 on todays trip with sales and coupons-spent $70.  GREAT stock up but still ..luckily my budget is not super tight!

Mistake#2 - There was only 1 cashier open when I checked out and it was a older female! YIKES!  Of course she scrutinized EVERY coupon, did not double the competitor coupons-most of the cashiers do but since there was a line forming behind me and she seem mad that I was saving so much, I did not make a fuss.
(Always try  to go to the young guy cashiers..they don't give a fig about the coupons)...I should have circled the store until another one opened up because I knew that would happen with her...just an fyi!

So I paid $70.17 and SAVED $99.82  59%....Anything over 50% is good, the higher the better of course!

Got 2 of those (Oreo Mint Icecream-Breyers!) for $1.74 each! A STEAL!  At Fry's they were marked $5.99 but I had a Safeway Coupon for $2.49 each...and I used a Target Coupon for $1.50 of 2 Breyers Icecream!

Got 3 TicTacs FREE...marked $1.00 used $.75/1 from June 12 Redplum Insert.


These are on sale for $2.50 each!  I LOVE THESE!  I got 5 packages $12.50 but also had a Fry's Catalina for $3.00 off any $15 in Frozen Items! (The Breyers counted towards the $15). So for me these were only $1.80 Each!

- 24 Pack of Arrowhead Water Orig $3.49  and a 6 Pack of Arrowhead Water Orig $2.00 - had coupons from May 22nd Redplum - $1.00 off 24/pack when you buy a 6 Pack, and $.75 off a 6 pack so got both for $3.49.

 Got 3 of these on sale $1.00 for son's lunch for summer camp

Also on sale for $1.00 - got 1 Kroger Brand French Onion Dip (Dean's is also on sale for $2.09 which there is a Target Q for $1.00 off so it would be $1.09), and 1 Kroger Fat Free Sour Cream for $1.00.

These are on sale for $1.25 each-bought 4 bags $5.00 used 2x$1.00/2 Nabisco Cookies or Crackers from (I think 6-12 inserts)...= $3.00 or .75 each!

CVS 6-12-11:

A foreword about CVS:  They have the best customer service I have ever experienced..see below:

5) (Here is the customer service part)...I thought the Aquafina waters..big bottles were $5/$5 and get 3 EB..great deal right?  Well that deal was on the SmartWaters which were gone, and the sign was in the wrong place!  So I originally paid $1.99 x 5 = $10.  I went back in because my EB did not print and the mgr told me my mistake.  He then said he would still give me the EB and printed 2 x $2 EB for me so $4.00!

*** Oh and the little Red Coupon Machine gave me $5.00 Extra Bucks!

RECAP:  Paid $21.10 - got $13.99 in EXTRA BUCKS for next trip so Out of Pocket only $7.11>>My sign says paid $11.10 but I meant $7.11...saved $27.25 Saved 56.35%!  But that does not even include the EB so I have almost $14 for next shop trip!

*** Have a great day and watch for more posts! ***

My FAVE Deal week of 6-5 to 6-12-2011

I know this week is almost over but I am excited about this one.  It will be my first "test" deal post anyway!

   My favorite 3 and 4 blade razors on sale at Walgreens $5.99.  There is a $3.00 off coupon from 6-5-11 SmartSource Insert ..making them $2.99 and Walgreens give you a $2.00 Register Reward to use on your next purchase-making these 3 and 4 pk razors just $.99 each! TIME TO STOCK UP!

My first blog ever and I have no idea what I am doing! About: Extreme Couponing..Have I become one of them?

This is the first blog I posted EVER.  The 2nd thing I said I would never do in my life.  The first was create a coupon binder, which I also did today!   I really just wanted to start saving money since I am now working PT and hubby is working much more.  So it started with finding coupons and sales and getting a few free deodorants now and then.  Then some free mouthwash...well now my closet looks like a Target Store and I LOVE getting things from my own store!   So I started sharing my findings on facebook and my friend said I should start a blog.  Great Idea to share or simply "no one on facebook cares"...but either way...I thought I would try it.

Did I mention I have no idea what I am doing (YET) but am determined to do this!  Once I set my mind to something watch out! 

So mostly for my close friends who initially anyway will be the only ones to care about this-I will be posting weekly deals to start and hopefully this thing will grow!  Later!
