Total Win at Target

Yesterday was pretty much the perfect summer day. We floated, we ate pizza, and oh yeah, when we stopped at Target to buy whiffle ball stuff, I got all this with some change I had in the bottom of my purse. I'd had the $1 off any coupons to pick up 10 Cascade items for a while now, but my goal was to purchase these trial-size action packs at Walmart, where they were not only under $1, but they will actually give you cash back if you have an overage. But after three trips and none in stock, I finally said screw it, I'll pay 9 cents each at Target,…

Couponing Confessions (plus 91% Savings)

I have a confession to make. Yesterday was 8/16, and also the expiration date on the Safeway $5/15 Frozen Food coupon. This is the coupon that made my 100% savings shopping trip possible, and I actually had enough ice cream coupons to do it again. So after resisting for a solid 6 days, I said screw it and went to Safeway to pick up 10 more ice cream bars for free. Unfortunately, or luckily, depending on how you look at it, the Magnum Ice Cream bars were no longer on sale. I probably could have swung a good deal still by purchasing fewer and getting some other sale items, but…

Clean Dishes at a Discount!

Cruised by Safeway on my way home from work and took advantage of this deal on Gain. I could have saved another $1 if I wasn't short one coupon, but still managed to get a good deal on some dish soap and laundry detergent. For $4.47 out of pocket and a total savings of 68% I got: 2 Bottles of Gain Dishsoap (Regular price 2.99- on sale $1.99, save $1 instantly when you buy three Gain products - (1) .50 off coupon - 1 safeway doubler = $.49 each) 1 Box Gain Laundry Detergent (Regular price $7.99, on sale $5.99 - $2 off coupon - safeway doubler = $3.49) But…

100% Free

I did Target "free," but only because I had a $5 gift card to use. Today at Safeway though, I finally did it for real. My total was $0 and Bob was as excited as I was. He even yelled to next cashier over about it. Here's what I got: 10 Magnum Ice Cream Single Packs (On sale 2/$3 - 10 $1 off coupons = $.50 each) 1 Sunday Newspaper ($2) Then I added two more safeway coupons, on for $5 off a frozen food purchase of $15 and a safeway doubler, $2 more off, bringing my grand total to zero. Extra bonus, Magnum Ice Cream Bars are amazing and…

Nature Valley Granola Thins: My Official Review

Nature Valley (ahem, General Mills) has been desperately trying to get people addicted to these granola thins. I know because I had tons of coupons for them that have been accumulating almost every week. They were finally cheap enough at Safeway that I decided I would pick some up. They are regularly $3.99 and on sale for $2.99. If you bought four you saved an extra $1 per box, plus I had 4 $.75 coupon, which Safeway doubled all four of, saving me another $2. Total I paid $.74 cents a box. Now the real question: was it worth it? I was kind of excited that they were only 80…

But it Was Free!!

Two-packs of Dry Erase markers are on sale for $.99 each at Walgreens right now. A few days ago, a $2/2 packs of said markers appeared on Coupons.com (it looks like it's already be gone). Now I don't even own a dry erase board and have no plans to purchase one, but I'm sure you can do the math here. I only printed out one coupon, but I figured if I happened to be at Walgreens and they happened to be in stock, well, why not? Today I had to pick up a prescription and sure enough, there were plenty of markers. So I got some. And technically, I saved…
