Got FREE milk?
Yes, I got free milk today! I’m also excited to share my shopping trip with you.
*Lucky Charms -had a 50 cent coupon
*Lucky Charms-had a 50 cent coupon
*Honey Nut Cheerios had a 50 cent coupon
*Trix-had a $1.00/2 coupon
Cereal was on sale and you got a free gallon of *milk if you bought 4 boxes.
*Chicken-was on sale 2$/8.00 and I used a 75 cent coupon on each package bringing the price to $6.50 for 2 family packs of chicken.
*Crest toothpaste was on sale this week for 78 cents and I had a 75 cent coupon so I paid 3 cents for it. I really don’t need any toothpaste, but for 3 cents I couldn’t let it go by and it’s a great food shelf donation.
The *Poptarts were free with a $25.00 purchase and I reached that dollar limit before my coupons were deducted.
The “Crystal Lite was on sale this week also and I had 2/$1.00 coupons that I used on each one of those.
My total bill paying full price would have been $32.40. But, since I don’t pay full price for anything, I ended up with $13.23 in savings and saved a total of 41% on my total bill. Plus, I got a catalina (the extra cash register slip that prints out to use on your next purchase) for $2.00 off General Mills cereal, which is NOT added into the total saved.
If you’re interested in learning how to coupon…………without clipping, filing and taking a shoe box with you to the store, to sift through, let me know. A class is coming soon to Hutchinson.
The total amount I paid for the above items was $19.17.
Jeanna: You did really good too…..what database are you using for coupons? You’re lucky to have access to a Cub foods….they are very accommodating with the expired coupons. You can send expired coupons, past the 3 months to the troops and apparently they can use them, which would be really nice too. I am checking into an address or where to send them.
