Good Morning! We have the lovely Mega Event back again. Looks like it's gonna be fun! Will post the link when I'm done squinting.


Shopping List & Matchups W/E 3/17

A few things to remember:

The prices listed are after the $5

Limit of 3 $5 rewards per transaction

The database does not calculate the coupons correctly. Prices will generally be lower.

Always remember to check coupons.com, smartsource.com, bettycrocker.com, pillsbury.com, eatbetteramerica.com to see if they've listed new coupons. Sometimes they change daily and it's hard to keep up with what's current.

and finally

Can you believe there isn't a current Betty Crocker Potato Q from an insert?

Happy Shopping!

Did pretty good tonight!

Lots of free butter, free deoderant, free rice snacks (oh I envy you folks who had more than one q for those!)
I'm totally stocking up on advil, tylenol, kotex, purex, oh I LOVE YOU FRY'S!

I noticed lots of things that were part of the 10 mega event but were not listed on the ads. Is there any place we can find out about these? Like a list somewhere?
I am a plan ahead kind of girl, not a go and see!

I have not seen a list. Sometimes during these events they have a checklist in the store that will have everything, but I did not see it at the store I popped into yesterday.

I have not shopped this sale yet and am not sure when I'm going to be able to. Maybe if everyone lists what else they see included here, that would help some.

I'm going late tonight, I'll make sure to look around...

I still consider myself to be quite the newbie (I discovered couponing around the 18th of Jan. this year), so I think that I did pretty good tonight, but I am not 100% sure what I should consider good. I got:

2 Cheerios snack mixes
3 Quakes rice snacks
2 Betty Crocker Homestyle potatoes
1 Country Crock butter +Calcium
1 Country Crock butter regular
1 Kroger Deluxe Ice cream

I used:
2 IP for .60 0ff cheerio mix (doubled to $1)
1 MQ for 1.00 off 2 Betty Crocker potatoes
1 MQ for .50 off Country Crock butter +Calcium (doubled to $1)
1 MQ for .35 off Country Crock butter regular (doubled to .70)
And got -$5 for the Mix and Match 10 items deal

Total came to: $4.30
With a savings total of: $19.10 (81%)

So I think I am pretty happy.

Oh yes, does anyone know if butter freezes well and for how long? I did another Frys trip early this week and got 2 free butters... so now I have four tubs of butter sitting in my fridge for just me and the husband. Its good to be stocked up, but I don't want it to go bad!

Thanks!

Join the frozen butter club! I have about a year's worth in my freezer right now.
I don't know how long it lasts but I remember my mom when I was a kid froze EVERYTHING! I would guess as long as its used within a year it should be okay.
But then.....what do I know!

Awesome trip and so glad to have you posting here!

Butter can be frozen for six months. I have frozen it longer, but sometimes it just isn't the same after that. Make sure you allow it plenty of time to defrost in the fridge before using it though.

Thank you so much, this is good to know! I'll date them and make sure to use them in a year!

okay... so I guess I'll change that to using it in six months. I have started making more homemade dishes now that I have been able to get things so cheap, and at least a little bit of butter is required for most things, so I am sure I can use it up in time! Thanks!
