A better coupon day

So today was a much better coupon day!! I decided to go to Bi-Lo to pick up some BOGOF Dixie plates. I had 4 coupons for $0.50 off one and Bi-Lo doubles coupons so I would be getting them rather cheap. They had peelies on the plates for free Dixie napkins if you bought 2 Dixie plates. Awesome right? So I go to get my free napkins and guess what?...the napkins were BOGOF too!! The coupon was for $3.50 off one and I bought 4 plates so I had 2 coupons for $3.50 off. I had overage!! So I bought 4 Dixie plates and 4 Dixie napkins for $3.20 and saved $24.48!!! So awesome!!!

I decided to try my luck at the other Target in my area. And let me say, they are much better trained for customer service!! The cashier was soooo polite. I DID NOT have to do individual transactions. I had so many coupons that when she was almost done scanning them all, it wouldn't let her scan anymore because I would be in the negative. She scanned as many and as much as she could to get the maximum savings for me. I bought 3 Earths Best Graham crackers, 10 buddies soap, and 9 single serving cereals. I spent $0.36 and saved $24.05!!! She has renewed my faith in Target! LOL

Target again

I decided to stop by Target again after I dropped Michael off at pre-k. Michael, my husband was pretty excited with all the free cereals I picked up yesterday and wanted me to get a few more. I bought (2) 12 packs of poptarts, 10 single serving cereals, 5 Buddies soap, and 1 gallon of milk. I seemed to have upset the manager today. I guess we're not suppose to use more than one coupon per transaction. She told me that I shouldn't shop there if I'm only intending to get free items. This really hurt my feeling because I love shopping at Target and I feel like she told me I can't shop there. She said that she's calling corporate to complain about the coupons so I hope that I haven't made it where Target gets rid of coupons all together. I apologized to her and told her that I didn't know that I couldn't use more than one on a transaction. She tells me that I should read the coupon..."It plainly states..Limit one offer per transaction!" I once again apologize and she tells me that she will allow it today but don't expect it to happen again and that she will be calling corporate office to complain and get this fixed. *SIGH* So I spent $4.92 and saved $18.84. Target was doing a special where if you buy (2) 12 pack poptarts, you get a free gallon of milk, so the only thing I paid for was the poptarts...I don't feel very good about this shopping trip though

Kroger savings

So I decided that I needed to take advantage of the 10 for 10 sale Kroger was having. I bought 2 Dial soaps, 2 Bounty paper towels, 2 ballpark hotdogs, 2 Kroger hotdog buns, 2 Hefty storage zipper bags, and 2 Armour lunchables. I spent $10.59 and saved $15.02!! I also went and filled my tank today and used my fuel points and received my gas for $2.21 a gallon while everyone else was charging $2.34 a gallon. I love saving money but as you can see, I love shopping too.

More Target savings

I decided to stop at the other Target on the way to pick up Michael from Pre-K. I have been looking for the Buddies soap and YAH, they had them in. So I bought 10 Buddies soap, (1) 6 pack of Kid Essentials, and 10 single serving cereals. I spent $2.23 and saved $26.70. The cashier was being a little difficult...she wouldn't give me the $1 off each soap, so she manually discounted each of the soaps for $0.97. It would have been nice to get the $0.30 overage but it's ok...I did get 30 items free from them today. So I won't complain...much LOL

So because I was bored and had nothing really to do, I decided to go back to Target to see if I could get my free Buddies soap but they were still out. So I bought 10 single servings of cereal and spent $0 and saved $10. No, that's not a typo, I spent nothing and received 10 free cereals...gotta love coupons

Food Lion savings

I bought 12, 1 inch thick ribeye steaks($4.88lb), 30lbs of chicken leg quarters($0.39lb), and 10.5lbs of crab legs($3.99lb). I spent $107.68 and saved $93.72!!! No coupons, just a great sale!! ** I forgot to look up Food Lion coupons before I went, and low and behold, the one time I forget, they had an awesome coupon for $5 off a $20 purchase of meat. I actually could have spent $102.68 and saved $98.73..oh well :( **

Target savings

Today, I went to Target to get a few of the "free" items. Of course, they were out of the ones I really wanted, like the Buddies soap and the Kid Essentials. But I did get a few things. I bought 2 Johnson&Johnson Baby wash, 4 single servings cereals, 2 Gerber snacks, 2 jars of Ragu, and 1 Johnson&Johnson to go kit. I spent $5.49 and saved $13.35!!!

April, the Johnson&Johnson Baby wash printable coupon is for 15oz or larger, the one that is on sale at Target for $2.19 is the 8oz., so you can't use the coupon. I ended up getting the 20oz. they had on sale for $2.99 and using the printable and target coupon getting it for $0.99. Still not too bad but I was really looking forward to getting it for $0.19.
