Anyone have any starkist gourmet seas Qs they don't want?

[jamel]

where do they stock the wholly guac? I can never find it!

I got a bunch of the popcorn since its free - I'll keep some but I'm trying to find some boys and girls club or afterschool program I can donate to.

[lovelyscraps]

I couldn't find the wholly guac either - anybody have ideas where they hide it?
Some frees I got...
2 free Jolly Popcorn, 2 pairs free socks, Free Dole Fruit cup, free Annie Chungs noodle bowl, free quacker rice snacks, cheap pineapple, OJ for 1.25, Eggos for .28, free Starkist gormet seas, .20 barilla pasta, .50 Newmans own Sp. Sauce, .25 Barilla Sp. Sauce, & FREE POST cereal - they did take both coupons (the one from the add for $1off 2 ($2)and I had a Man. coupon for $1of 2 ($2) so the cereal was free....I'll be going back without the 2 little ones in tow for all the frozen cheap goodies later
I saved $57.45 using coupons!! - the lady behind me asked (after seeing all my coupons and the piles of stuff in my cart) if I was one of those women that were on the news the other day who get all there groceries for little to nothing...I laughed and said no ---but it is a secret dream of mine LOL....a $30 bill for a cart PILED with groc. with 2 kids in tow to boot...even the cashier was impressed.

It is in the produce section near the Bagged lettuce, hth I only found the three pack, but still a great savings. I paid $45.76 and saved $89.49 w/coupons - the total was something like $135.25. I am so Excited I could pop

[ValuedCustomer]

The Wholly Guac is hiding low - near your knees, laying on it's 'back' - by the Marzetti dips and other refrig. produce dressings.

I spent $25.91 on $130-some dollars worth of groceries. Lots of freebies, including Huggies Baby Shampoos, No Nonsense socks, Jiffy Pop, Johnson's Buddies Soaps, Mentos Gum, and Quaker Snacks.

Also got cheap Dannon, Swanson broth, Pillsbury brownie mixes, Post cereal (4), Frosted Flakes, Wholly Guac, Dole canned pineapple, Steamfresh Veggies, and Rubbermaid Premier containers.

[Mavourneen]

I just got back: $120 worth for $33.

I haven't broken down my receipt yet - but I got 7 of the McCormick's grinders for free, and enough Meow Mix wet cat food to last for a while ( they are 2 for $1 at SFW. I had a fistful of $1 off 3 coupons. I bought 30 containers - $15 - minus 10 $1 coupons doubled - they paid me $5 to buy the cat food! )

Also stocked up on Kraft Parm cheese at 1.99 each after q.

My cashier Wanda was so nice and happy to see me, she was not upset about the amount of coupons and when she had to call over John the Manager he was just as happy. I went around 12 and was there till around 2 so the employees should have had there fill of us couponer , but not my cashier and manager they were all smiles. It doesn't hurt that I was happy and smiling the whole time to, I also bagged while my cashier rang me up.

For someone new at this, that's a great savings! Congratulations!!! I may go back tomorrow - I was rushed, as Mr Mav had a softball tournament I was trying to get to - I didn't get 10-15 items I was wanting to look at...

[frugal2]

I got most of the free items already listed (socks, air freshner, tea, popcorn, cereal) plus I got lucky and spotted three Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizers on clearance for $1.99...I used 3 - $1/1 coupons and got them free as well!...I also got $3 OYNO and .75 OYNO from the free Post cereal I "bought" and the Dole can goods.

[momofmany]

Went to another SFW today - was $172 before Qs, $25 after! And most of that was the marked down Wild Harvest natural chicken I bought (used Wild Harvest IP Qs $1/1 - which doubled, so my chicken was almost free!)

Jolly Time popcorn - FREE after $1/1
lipton tea bags FREE after .50/1
barilla tortellini $1.19 after $1/1 Q

[ajot]

oh my, i had forgotten that we still have tomorrow until i read Mavourneen's comment... hmmm.. i'm worried they have my mugshot on the door coz i keep hauling out cartloads for almost nothing... made 4 trips already.

coupons are so good that i can't stop...
24 free cereals-
18 free bounty-
and on and on and on...

[ajot]

valuedcustomer- what are these buddies soaps i keep reading about? seems like they're always a good deal...

[lovelyscraps]

I'm going again later for some of the organic stuff (muir glen and Cascadian Farm) the SFW closest to me doesn't have so I'm headed to White Flint.
The Johnson's Buddies soaps are great and most places have them for close to $1 so if you use a .50 or $1 coupon they are free.
Ajot - 18 Free rolls of Bounty!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock!!!! Where did you get all those coupons - I don't have any!!

[ajot]

lovelyscraps-

the coupons were soooo good this weekend (many to get free, nearly free items at shoppers this weekend and then lots of good ones to save in hopes of a triple even at HT) that i bought 7 papers. the bounty coupon is in this weeks P&G. it says $1/2 any size rolls. Shoppers has some single rolls $10/10. then i had a couple of coupons from before.
thanks for the tip on the buddies soaps, but where do you get those $.50 coupons, home mailers? which ones are they? i have a 5 month old and i don't get that many coupons for her even though i signed up at gerber, pampers, etc online.

have fun!!!
