Do as I say not as I do shopping 9/3/10
Well… I kind of forgot that the $2.00 off water when you buy Crystal Light coupons say one per transaction cause I got too excited about this idea. So don’t copy me on that part, cause I used two and then remembered when I got home. Sorry!
So the above was a net cost of $2.54, which makes me happy!
Dollar General
Where I ran into Linda (hi Linda!) and we mostly cleaned them out of Gain dish liquid at the Dollar General in Lombard on Roosevelt — there were about 3-4 left on the shelf when I left.
6 Gain dish liquid, $6.00. Used six $1.00/1 from the 8/29 PG.
4 Frank’s Red Hot sauce, $4.00. Used four $1.00/1 from the 7/25 SS. (Thanks for the heads up on this one, Karen!)
Paid $.57 in tax and went on my merry way. This is only the 2nd time I’ve been in this store, and it’s nice — might be shopping there more often if these types of sales keep up.
Jewel
Cool whip, $1.00.
4 Crystal Light on the go, $7.16. Used four $1.00/1 printables.
2 Ice Mountain water, $5.98. Used two $2.00 off water wyb Crystal Light tearpad coupons (<– this is the part you don’t copy!).
Paid with a $5.00 Catalina and $1.39 on gift card. Got back $7.00 — $5.00 from Kraft and $2.00 from Ice Mountain. (<– this is the old Catalina running on cases, the Aquapods one still doesn’t start til the 6th.) Up $.61 this transaction.
Ultra Foods
8-lb potatoes, $2.50.
5 Breakstone sour cream, $4.95. Used $5.00/5 Kraft printable — this did beep, but I’d brought one on a whole sheet to show that the sour cream was included on the list underneath, so she punched it through.
Paid $2.58.
So, my net cost for the day is $2.54. Maybe I’ll go back and buy some cheap chicken wings or leg quarters at Ultra to use up some of this hot sauce on Labor Day… hmm. Oh, and those of you finding the better at home coupon booklets, where’d you spot them? Couldn’t find any today, but they may be gone.
