Tuesday 10/2/12

My shop from Monday, 10/1 is as follows.  Not everything that I listed on the previous blog worked out....I forgot that it was October, so my September P & G coupons were gonners....oh well, I did okay anyway.

First stop, CVS, first off, when I ran my card through the machine, I got a ton of coupons and one for $3.50 off anything.    Deal 1 They had Soft soap body washes $3.50 each, we had coupons from this past Sunday for .50/1, making those $6.00, I had an ECB left from the other week for $4, making my oop $2, and got back $4 ECB.  I had to include a filler item to make the coupons come out right.  Deal 2, I needed a personal care item that was $12.79, used my $3.50 coupon and my $4 ECB from the previous deal used a filler item and spent $6.38.  Total spent was $9.27 for $24.75 in products.

Next stop was Walmart.  I bought the campbells good for cookin soups were $1 each, had coupons for .40/4 coupons from SS 9/16 making those .90 each.  Don't know about you, but I use those in everything and .90 isn't half bad for them.  They had Heinz Homestyle beans for $1 each, we had coupons for .50/2 from SS 9/23, making those .75 each.  Carnation canned milk (for our holiday baking) was .98 each, we had coups for .50/2 from RP 9/30 making those .73 each.  The Orange Crush and Sierra mist was supposed to be $1, I found that it was NOT.  I'll check back later on that.  Estracell Sponges were 2 in a package for .97, we have coups for .50/2 package making those .72 for 2 sponges.  Stayfree Pads....2 different types 14-24 count were $2.86, we have coups for $2/1 from SS 8/26 making those .86 each.  Cover Girl powder puffs/sponge puffs were $2.94, we have coups for $3/2 from P & G  Oct, making those $1.44 each.  Dove mens body wash was $3.47, we have coupons for $2/1 from RP 9/30 (I think) making those $1.47.  Total before coupons was $84.46, after coupons was $57.26, not too bad.  Was able to get some things for Food Pantry.

Publix next.....Uncle Bens 5 pound bags of rice was bogo at $7.79 for 10 pounds!  I printed a coupon from coupons.com for $1/3 Uncle Bens Products, so I bought 6 bags of rice 30 pounds for $21.37 and was able to use my $5/30 WD coupon when all was said and done, so the rice cost me about .55 per pound.  2 bags for us, 2 bags for Ashley and 2 bags for Food Pantry.  The other thing I went for was the Swanson Flavor Boosts, Publix had them 2/$3 (each package holds 4 of them), there was a Coupon in the Yellow flyer for $2 off 4 of the items and we have coupons for .50 off each....bottom line is they costs us .50 for 4 in the package and they had several different flavors.  Bought a couple of other things I needed, but only spent $31.61 for $73.90 in food.

I felt the day went pretty well.  I still haven't been over to Wags to sign up for my new card or to shop, they just really haven't had anything on sale to temp me!  Maybe next week.  Okay, have a great week, the Publix rice deal I think ends tomorrow and the Swanson stuff goes through 10/12 I think.  Check it out.

God Bless...............Rhonda Goff
