So, the week is winding down and I thought that we could post our AWESOME trips that we've all had. It may give someone else a great idea for one last trip of stuff that maybe they didn't get yet!!!

Today I did 2 transactions.
One was just the 9 HC soups with the $1/3 blinkies for a total of $6.00. I used a $5.00 Cat from another deal and paid $1 oop!! Got a $10 Cat back so a profit of $4.00

Second Transaction
9 HC soups @ $1.00 each
1 Purex fabric softener sheets (needed this) 120 count for $3.39
1 choy boy kitchen spunge (on sale 50% off) $.69

I used 3 $1/3 HC soup coupons
1 $10 cat from first transaction
Paid $.36 oop and got another $10 cat back!!!

[stefani1]

I also wanted to add another trip I did the other day. I don't have my receipt, but it was another good one.

I did the 9 HC soups for the ConAgra Deal
I also did the buy 10 get $15 cat back and $4.50 milk.

Let's just say that the soup is $6.00 with a $10 cat back
and the deal I did with mostly the Fiber One Toaster Pastries or the BC fruit snacks with the $1/2 coupon made me break even. I got back $10 cat for the ConAgra deal, $15 Cat and a $4.50 cat for milk. I used some prior cats from the Conagra deal and got all my money back. It was free food!!! If I find my receipt then I'll post the details of it, but I wanted to add it in case anyone wanted to do both. i think I may have also gotten a Holiday buck out of the deal too if i remember correctly. throw some muir Glen in there with the $.75/1 for free tomato paste, or the $1.00/1 for $.09 tomato paste and the idahoan potatoes free coupons that just came out and you can get your total to over $25 or $50 for more holiday bucks!!!

Winding down! I just finally made it to Shaws this morning. I made two trips on my way to work.

Trip one
15 cans Chef Boyardee, used 5 35cent/3
used 2 $5 cats from the $15/$30 deal
Final totoal 1.50

Trip two
15 cans Chef boyardee (used 5 35 cent/3)
6 cans Muir glen paste (used 6 75Q but only 4 were scanned need to return to the service desk)
6 Cut rite waxed paper (finally used my raincheck to get them for $1 and had accumulated 6 50 cent coupons from All You)
Used $10 Conagra cat

Total should have been 1.50 but she missed some coupons so it was 4.50. I was busy trying to resolve my cat that didn't print and didn't immediately figure out why my total was off.

I posted in one of the other threads but turns out their Cats were down so she gave me $10 in holiday bucks.

I'll go tonight and do a bigger shop. These were ment to be quick in and out shops on the way to work.

[stefani1]

Went again tonight and have decided to just roll them until this promo is over. I did 2 transactions and got....

8 soups (just didn't get 9 because i have so many already and have donated TONS)
package of sweet italian sausage
1 package of 6 bulkie rolls

used 2- $1/3 soups
$1.00 manager special coupon on sausage
$10 cat from previous ConAgra transaction
Paid $.44 oop and got back another $10 cat

2nd transaction:
8 HC soups
1 Giant Loaf of shaws white bread
1 package of Bugles (DH always begs me for these and I won't buy them for him)

Used 2 - $1/3 soup
$10 cat from previous transaction

Paid $.08 oop and got another $10 cat!!!

So total of $.52 cents oop and I got the 2 breads, the bugles and the sausage - not to mention 16 soups (which I donated a bunch before I left the store)!!

Gosh I wish this one would go longer. I'm hoping to get some coupons in the mail tomorrow or Thursday (fingers crossed that they come before the sales over with the holiday today) and I'll do the Conagra and the buy 10 get $15 and free milk. I'll get the $15, the $10 the free milk and hopefully at least 1 more holiday buck!!!

[jessl]

I didn't make it to Shaws last night. I had to stop at Target (for bras and brake fluid of all things ) and didn't feel like making another stop.

I did go this morning and did the Conagra deal again and the General Mills

15 Chef Boyardee (3 $1/5 Q)
10 fruit rollups ( 5 50 cent/2 Q)

Used $25 in cats from previous deals

$7.00 oop

Got back
$15 for GM
$4.50 off milk for GM
$10 for Conagra
$1 Holiday buck

The checkout lady had a good laugh at all the cats (the GM one spits out 3 $5 cats like the deal last week)

[Ibis]

I didn't do Conagra yesterday. DH and I wanted to do the Wild Harvest deals, so we each got a PB and 5 other WH items. We also each used the Equaline $1/1 Q and got that deal.

ETA: Oh, and I also got a Reynolds heavy duty foil. After the $1/1 IP Q, it was only $1!!

[stefani1]

What deal are you getting with the Equaline Q?? I'm hearing you can get peroxide and alcohol for free.... anything else you know of that is a good deal??

[Ibis]

Butterfly closures, bandages, lip balm, generic advil, cough drops, nail clippers, anti-bacterial hand gel, generic tylenol, and other stuff I can't think of just now.

Most are 99 cents or $1.29-ish

Hurry because this Q expires 11/30.

[stefani1]

OK - I want to LIVE at Shaws for the next couple days!!!
I went and got alcohol, poroxide, chapstick and bandaids. I'm looking at my receipt and even though the peroxide was only $.69 the coupon took off the full $1.00!!! I went to the self check. I've never gotten overage at shaws so this was exciting. Looks like I'm going to have a lot of first aid in my house.

[jessl]

Tonight I did pretty good!

3.24 lb Bananas
1 lb Wilson honey ham (used $1 Q)
2 Pam butter spray (these were 2.50 even though the flyer said 2.99)
10 Chef boyardee (Used 2 $1/5)
3 Daisy sour cream (Used 3 35 cent Q)
1 Gal milk (I never buy it at shaws but had the coupon from this morning. 3.99 a gallon here!!!)
1 Equaline Hydrogen peroxide (Used $1 Q)
3 Equaline alcohol (Used 3 $1 Q)
1 Equaline floss (Used $1 Q)
3 Huggies wipes (Used 1 75cent DND but it did and two 50 cent Q)

Used $10 Conagra cat
Used $15 GM cats
Used $1 Holiday buck

Total....2 cents!!!!! I couldn't have done that if I planned it. I got overage on the Equaline Qs and the milk and I never get overage. There was actually 44 cents tax or I would have gone negative.

Got another $10 Conagra cat and $1 Holiday buck.

I think I'll do one more trip on the way to work tomorrow.

[Ibis]

Did you use multiples of the Equaline Q in one transaction? I might try that if it worked for you. TIA.

[stefani1]

Yes! I did go to self checkout so I'm not sure if that's why. I don't think it says anything about only using 1 on it!! I got 4 or 5 things and used 1 for each.

Oh! I never checked it, you're right. It doesn't say "one per customer"! Yay!

[jessl]

I used five in one transaction. I could have used more but I wasn't sure if they would give me a problem. I had a high school boy check me out and he didn't question it but I don't think I'll try it with the older ladies that are there in the morning. They question everything. It doesn't say limit 1 but since most Shaws coupons do I was a little nervous.

[Katlady]

I find the older cashiers to be less agreeable too-There's one in particular that I avoid like the plague. She's one of the ones that undoubles my coupons (which I don't have a problem with), but also seemed to enjoy finding reasons not to let me use Q's. I'm sure she wouldn't allow me to combine a Shaws Q w/a manufacturer Q. Did anyone else get lots of free Coffee-Mate this week? We have 10 bottles in the fridge-Love the Hazelnut Biscotti.

[Lestagirl]

I have started to use the self check out and really feel a lot less pressure, ours lets you do as many items as you want, so today I did the conagra deal again and used my $5 and $10 coupons and lots of others, I saved $40 and had $21 worth of manufacturers Qs!
I printed out several Kellogs $1 off Qs but it seems that because they had same number I could only use one, that lady was scrutinizing them! But i have found the high school boys and girls just scan away.

Oh I missed the coffee mate deal, didnt even know it was going on, oh well I have enough Swiss Miss and Soup for my street! My children are in heaven, they think we are "rich" all of a sudden. No Market Basket own brand for now!

How did you get free coffee-mate? I did get coffee-mate in the matchups but the best I came up with was 50 cents. Was there a store coupon I missed?

[stefani1]

I don't drink coffee, but yes there was a $1 off store coupon in last weeks email for coffeemate. Not sure if that's what you are wanting to know though.

I know exactly what you mean. Why do they have to act like they're taking it personally, as if we're trying to cheat them, and we're not even doing anything wrong?! Ugh.
:-/

[Katlady]

Stefani is right-I combined the Coffee-Mate Q from the insert w/the Shaws email Q-Free Coffee-Mate.

Why do they have to act like they're taking it personally

That's exactly what some of them act like. I really can't complain though-That's one or two out of many great cashiers for the most part. I find the cashiers at Hannaford to be much more disagreeable than Shaws for the most part.

[stefani1]

I just had to add that I had an AWESOME last run tonight!!! I went to CS first thing and got my $3 back from a coupon I forgot to use the other day. Then I did 7 transactions in 3 different stores. I got Fruit snacks, Fiber One Toaster Pastries, HC soup, HC mixers, Hunts sauce, Reynolds wrap, WH pasta, WH tortilla chips, WH salsa, Equiline Peroxide, WH mac n cheese, Sarah Lee Pie, Breyers snickers ice cream, and I know there is more, but I got it all for FREE!!!! With the $3 I got back and the $3 holiday bucks I found at the register, I think they actually paid me!!! I donated some soup and all my stuff (except the pie and ice cream) are outside in our mudroom because I couldn't bring it all in. I'll do it tomorrow. I kept rolling the $10 and $15 deals. This was a crazy week and I hope we have another one like this soon!!! I'll have to order coupons for the next great sale so I can do better!!! Not sure I'm seeing anything that great for next week, so i'll have to listen to you guys if you get anything great!!!

The Green Giant Steamfresh vegetables are a super deal at $1 package and there are $1/1 coupons, so FREE.

[stefani1]

I still have a freezer full from last time. Maybe I'll get one or 2 more things as I think we only have Broccoli left. I don't have an extra freezer so it makes it hard to store it all!! Thanks though.
