I have a stack of the $2/2 ritz crackers..they were constantly out of the snack sacks..so got a raincheck..and they still don't have in...boo hoo!

After Soccer we headed to do our Krogers trip I had been waiting for ALL WEEK! How sad is it when getting groceries is the highlight of your week

Won't list everything but we had $165 worth of groceries and only paid $84.89 out of pocket. It was about 11:30 PM, so we had to hurry up and finish our shopping because our store closes at midnight (didn't know that, but I do now). So we go to check out and the only lane open was "self-checkout" I about died.... Worth it though!

Used a combination of cellfire, shortcuts & manufacture coupons....

[mandies2happy]

I just got back from kroger and was soooo happy with the sales.
$50-55 of my purchase was meat and soda (only $10 from soda).

Here is my list of the good deals

2-suave deo.(mark down) .71 ea-$1/2 = .42
6- quaker rice cakes .49 ea - (3) $1 off q's = FREE
6-colgate toothpaste 1.50-(6) .75Q's doubled = FREE
4-Land O lakes tubs .99-.50(doubled)= FREE
Pork loin on sale for 1.99 lb-2.50Q = 19.20
beef ground chuck 1.99 lb =12.48
4- colgate tooth brushes 1.50-.75Q doubled=FREE

Total 150.48
OOP: 69.75
Savings: 80.73

I know i could of done better but i got a bunch of meat and my freezer should be good for awhile now

[shopalgood]

My Mega deal got sweeter today!

I bought 9 boxes of BC potatoes
and 2 boxes of Fiber One Granola Bars
(I know thats 11 not 10 but you will see why)

I also purchased 2 boxes of Quaker Instant Oatmeal

2 mega size Huggies Gentle Care wipes

3 boxes of Hamburger Helper Homestyle skillet meals

I spent ~$9 OOP, ($3 was tax)
Saved ~$44

For Fiber Ones: 2 Shortcuts Qs 1.00 and 0.75 and 2 0.50/1 (which doubled)
For Potatoes: 2 Cell fire 0.40/1 and shortcut 0.35/1 and $1/2 Dinner made easy and 7 0.40/1 IP
For Oatmeal : I couldn't get IP to print (rolling install printer issue at home and at work) just a 0.75/1 Kroger Q but we really needed oatmeal
For wipes: used 2 of the $5 off Gentle Care Product Qs
For Hamburger Helper....Now the kicker (for me) was I found a peelie on the potatoes for FREE Hamburger Helper when you buy 3 Betty Crocker Potatoes! And I had 2 cellfire Qs for 0.50/1 Hamburger Helpers that I didn't even know about!
So basically I paid some tax and $3 for two LARGE packs of wipes and about $2 for oatmeal and $1 for 2 boxes of Granola bars.

I know its not one of those <$2 OOP but I have never had a trip like this before. I could have passed up the wipes a really low OOP but I am running low! Now I won't need any for a few months!

[skbrush]

5- powerades
5-Quaker rice cakes
2-packs of Huggies size 4 on Mgr special(5.49)

total after q's 7.25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[someguy812]

How do you get so many coupons of one kind. Example somepeople are buying 10 BC potatoes but I can only print out 2 coupons. Am i missing something?

Thanks

[hnks]

Some people buy coupons off the internet like ebay and other sites, some people buy several copies of the inserts.
As of the BC coupons, use a different computer and you will print 2 more and so on.
I was able to print 8 coupons of Nature Valley and 8 of fiber ones.

for me, I have to haul in my own trash to a transfer station...and sort my recyclables out...when I bring stuff in I also go through their newspaper bins/size of semi truck trailers (I got permission first)...so every week junk in..and inserts out..I get stacks of them..then I sort by variety/the photos on the front...I cut maybe 10 of each kind and keep in my binder...then if say there is something good..like free quakes..i just go to that stack of inserts and cut the ones I need...

when I cut I take all the first page, align and use industrial scissors and cut up to 15 copies together..very easy to cut a bunch that way...when I get a new insert..I cut out all and file in the binder immediately...

made it easy for the free garnier at Walgreens this week...100s of different bottles/jars/tubs..

I don't usually buy any coupons....figure free is even better!

I usually print at home and at work, and some things like BC potatoes are on more than one site. In this case I had a few coupons that were definitely 'different' (from Betty Crocker site) and from Coupons.com or something and I had something from Dinner Made Easy Coupon book I got in the mail. I think I ended up with 7 0.40 coupons and 1 save $1/2 so I bought 9 boxes.

Hey guys,

Just want to let you know about another deal on Pillsbury Grands, crescent rolls and cinnamon rolls.

Ive bought tons of these and I get overages with them.

Used .35 cent coupon (can be found on many sites coupon.com ect) for each crescent roll. They triple to 1.05 x 3 3.15. Then Krogers has a beepie coupon for .75 off 3 Pillsbury products. so that's 3.90 off for the three. Then you get a Catalina coupon printed when you buy 3 of these for $1.50. Total saving 5.40, and the only cost 1.50 each.

5.40 - 4.50 = .90 earned!!

Also have similar coupons for the cinnamon rolls and grands biscuit, but the saving is less than that.

I went back today and bought loads purex 2.49- .50 MF doubled= 1.49 with my 1.50 Catalina coupons

Happy shopping guys!!
