SUNDAY SAVINGS!!!!

so today we got up and had a couple of errands to run. we needed to stop at walmart and i knew that i had some awesome coupons to use up and get some great deals!

and indeed i did!!!

wanna guess how much i got all this for???? (exclude the pepcid ac)

Photobucket

c'mon guess!


still guessing??

i got it all for......$4.09

here's how its broken down:

2 boxes of malt-o-meal cereal on sale 2/$2 i used 2/$1 coupons so they were FREE

2 boxes of honey bunches of oats with chocolate on sale for $1.98 i used 2/$2 off coupons so they were FREE

2 boxes of kashi cereal were 2/$5 i used 2/$2 coupons so they were $0.50 a box

3 cans of sizzlin' style baked beans were $1.25 each, i used 3/$1 off coupons so they were $0.25 a can

1 box of scotch brite toilet scrubber kit was originally $4.29 and i had a coupon that made it FREE

2 packages of tea were $1.50 each. the package came with a $0.55 off coupon therefore they were $0.95 each.

2 packages of huggies clean team wipes were $1.72 each. i had a coupon for $3.00 off two making them $0.22 each.


great deals huh????

cereal is a big thing in our house and i have a freezer full of it. i usually get it for next to nothing so i stock up on it when i can.

i had included the pepcid in the picture b/c i had a coupon and will get a rebate on it but it rang up the wrong price so i'm going to have to give them a call or go in next time with my receipt.

most of the coupons that i had used were from the net which is a great source of freebies and coupons.

if anyone is interested on where to go or how i work my magic {wink}, lemme know and i'll do a whole post on it.

if any of you have had any great deals lately i'd love to hear it.

Wowza girl that is some pretty awesome shopping, no wonder you love to grocery shop. I would LOVE to know how you do it cuz I'm all for the coupons for crafty stuff but never really got into the grocery thing. Please help me and be my mentor.
I did have an awesome savings at Michael's yesterday. I had a 25% off EVERYTHING (even sale items) for yesterday between 4pm & 8pm. Once in the store I got another coupon for 50% off one non sale item. I got a rubber stamp that was $12.99 for 1/2 off and then 25% off of of my entire purchase. My over $60 purchase was less that $40 bucks.
