Extreme Couponing – My Journey Begins

Written by

So last night after we battled the cold and ice to get Jeremiah his next RSV shot my husband helped me get to a couple stores to snag their weekly deals. I still need to get to Walgreens but we’ll see if I can make that happen this week. My van still won’t make it out of our hill.

Anyway, I am very proud of how it turned out this week. I saved more than I spent on most items. So, here is a break down of what I paid for each item.

Schnucks –

Frozen Appetizer – $1.49
100% real Apple Juice – $.50
French’s Spicy Mustard – $1.00
French’s Spicy Mustard – $1.00
Frank’s Red Hot Sauce – $1.00
2 bags Malt-O-Meal cearal – $.50 each
Johnson and Johnson dental floss – free
Heluva sour cream dips (2) – $.25 each

With tax I paid $6.80 for all of these items. My origanl bill (with sale prices) would have been $14.80. But my receipt shows that with sales and coupons combined I saved $16.43!! I saved more than my bill was!!

Here is Wal-Mart’s break down –
Cinnamon Burst Cheerios (new product) – $.50
Kashi Organic cereal – $.28
Snickers’ Peanut Butter (new product) – $.25 (got four with bogo coupon)
Dove deodorant – $.47

So, I spent about $2.25 for all these products which is less than the deodorant alone!

    Well now I know who got the last of Wal-Marts BOGO free Snickers peanut butter bars! I had that coupon too but every isle was out of them = )

    Heres my great buy last week… my family likes those super pretzels and they’re normally $2.58 a box for 6 (expensive!) Well Alps had them on sale for $1.56 and I had .50 cent coupons so I got a case of them for a dollar a box!!!
