Coupons! Coupons!!

I LOVE couponing.  I always have.  I am all about a good bargain.   I don't have a basement stockpiled over with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.  Really, I don't need one.  I think one closet will be sufficient.  I do have my huge binder with a million tabbys and tons and tons of coupons but rest assured fellow shoppers you will not see me with 6 buggies and every items on the shelves in them.  Today, I had a fabulous shopping trip!

I purchased the following items:

4 bottles of Arm and Hammer laundry detergent;
2 bottles of Downy liquid fabric softener;
2 bottles of Dial hand soap;
2 bottles of Dawn dish soap;
4 boxes of Red Baron breakfast pizzas;
1 gallon of milk;
bakery sub rolls;
6 2liter Pepsi products;
Hormel pork loin;
3 lbs ground beef;
chicken legs;
2 cucumbers;
2 rolls Pilsbury crescent rolls;
2 rolls Pilsbury cinnamon rolls;
2 rolls Pilsbury rustic french bread;
3 boxes of Pasta Roni; and
2 packages Bic Pins.

My grand total for all this today????  About $80.  That's right...EIGHTY DOLLARS!!!

Talk about PUMPED!!! :D  

Whats your best grocery shopping experience??

June in Review

So some GREAT deals I got couponing in June, thought I would share now :)

One week, I got four papers, so I had four and five of quite a few coupons.  It paid off for sure!!

I got 10 bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce.  I don't stockpile, but this was prior to father's day, fourth of july and lake time at my house.  Also, we grill - ALOT - at my house year round.  More so in fall and winter because my husband doesn't like to grill when its super hot outside.  Anyway, the bottles are $1.77 each at my Wal-Mart.   Our Harvest Foods ad had them 5/$5.  Wal-Mart price matches and I had three $1/2 coupons! So....I bought 10 bottles for $10.00 and then used $3.00 in coupons.  10 bottles for $7.00 makes them $0.70 each!! I saved over $10.00 in that one purchase!! Sweet!! :)

I also got my sweet Toby's favorite Milk-Bone biscuits, normally $2.50 a box on sale at Target for $2.29, coupled with my $1.50 coupon making the box $0.79.  I was quite bummed I only had one coupon!

I got a bottle of Up and Up peroxide from target for only $0.30.

I got 2 bottles of Tylenol Precise Pain Cream for FREE ($7.99 reg price each) at Walgreens!! I was pumped!! :)

All in all, my savings from June 18 through July 4th is approximately $90! That is awesome!! I am by no means an extreme couponer, I have no desire to stockpile 3 months worth of groceries at a time.  That is ludicrous.  But if I can get a great deal on things I use reguarly and maybe "stockpile" an extra bottle or two of somethings we use often, then I am all over it! I have no desire to purchase things we won't eat or use.

I will try to do better to keep everyone informed of the awesome deals and savings I get throughout each month!! :)   Happy Couponing!!

Coupons!!

first of the month!!! Which means - coupons are restocked online :) I'm so excited!!! I got the best coupon score the other day!! I got two bottles of Tylenol Precise pain cream for FREE :)

They had them at Walgreen's for $7.99. I printed two $5.00 coupons from here: www.precisepainrelief.com/coupon. Then there is a $3.00 coupon located in the July booklet at Walgreens!!! Due to the "rules" regarding Arkansas sales tax, you can't actually walk out without paying sales tax, etc., so I had to buy a pack of gum to get the deal, but that's fine!! $2.00 and some change for a pack of gum and 2 bottles of cream, sounds like a plan!! I was completed stoked!!

Another huge plus about the beginning of the month: P&G Brandsaver - love it!

I love coupon Sundays! Let me know some of your best coupon experiences!!
