Cheap, Healthy and on the way Home!
Originally this blog was called “Couponing is making me fat” because I definitely am more likely to buy things such as chips and cookies when they are free/cheap and then eat them all! But it is possible to get good deals on so-called healthy food too, which is what I did on my way home from the office.
Admitedly, this took two stops, but neither is out of the way, so therefore, not totally insane, right? A little insane, but not TOTALLY.
At Fred Meyer:
2 packages of Tillamook Sliced Cheese (On sale $3, 3/$7 with “extra savings” coupon – $1 MFG coupon = $1.34 each)
At Safeway:
2 bottles V8 V fusion (Buy one, get one free – $1 MFG coupon – $.50 Safeway double = $2.49 for both)
Now this would have seemed even healthier if I included the Fresh Express Salad I bought, but the cashier didn’t think either the $2 or $.75 off coupon I had applied, so I’m not including it. Note to self: do not get in Christine’s line ever again.
Walgreens 8/7/2011
One of the many things I’ve learned is that if you want the “money maker” items, you can’t slack. And this week Keri lotion (regularly $8.29) at Walgreens was one of those coveted items so I got my ass over there Sunday morning. Allow me to explain: The lotion was on sale for $5.99, and […]
Ten Dollars at Target
There is some concern at that I am just “hoarding” at this point, but you say hoarding, I say stocking up. The truth is, I am buying things for the game of couponing, but I make it a point to ask myself with every purchase: is this something I will actually use. One thing I’ve […]
Redemption at Walgreens
What’s that saying? If at first you fail, try, try again? I took it to heart and went back to Walgreens yesterday after my defeat there last weekend. Actually, it had nothing to do with proverbial wisdom, but more the fact I had $5 worth of register rewards I would be stupid not to cash […]
Coupon Cook Off!
This is the third cook off we’ve done for Yobeat and the 5th one ever, and this time, I was able to take advantage of my couponing to pull it off cheap! I dipped into my mini stockpile and here’s the break down on the ingredient cost: Two boxes of Kellogs Cornflakes $3.98 total (plus […]
$100 Worth of Groceries for $45 at Safeway
While there are no incredibly amazing individual deals at Safeway this week, there are a couple store coupons for $10 off a $50 purchase and $5 off $15 worth of frozen items, which means it’s a good chance to get stuff that never really goes on sale, or you know, you actually need. But I […]
Thai Kitchen Bowls $.89 Each
Albertson’s put out some twice the value coupons last week, which is generally a pretty good reason for me to drive to Milwaukee. Unfortunately, there were only two (usually it’s three) and the match ups were not that exciting, so it actually took me needing to make a trip to get some stuff for dinner […]
Lunch Deal — $9.99 For 2 at Quiznos
I feel like I should preface this with the fact that Jared and I are terrible at choosing a lunch destination. So bad, in fact, there was another blog about that. So when a Quiznos coupon arrived in my inbox, the same day I managed to spill coffee on my wireless keyboard, it was sort […]
Defeated at Walgreens
Sometimes the coupons win, and on my trip to Walgreens, I’d say that happened. Planning is key with this stuff, and I tend to just sort of wing it. I check the blogs, see what the good deals are, check for what coupons I have and then head out. I don’t estimate what I’m going […]
Saucy Deal at Safeway!
Not too long ago I bought a bunch of Classico at Target because it was on sale for $1.88 and I had a bunch of $1/2 coupons. Imagine my embarrassment when this week’s Safeway ad came out and with in ad coupon, jars were a mere $1.49 each! You might think I’d be out of […]
