I bought a Keurig at Albertsons on Black Friday. I got a coupon book with it that promised $70 worth of free stuff. I put the coupon book away and didn't look at it for a while.
Thank goodness I got it out yesterday, because the coupons expired today! I cut out all the ones I wanted, and I really decided to get everything I could. They were all coupons for one free Essentials brand item.....pretzel bars, Dixie coffee cups, Keurig coffee cups, a can opener, oatmeal, and more. I didn't get the socks (although I probably should have) and that's about it.
Thanks to those coupons, and the round up coupons that Albertsons is doing right now, I spent a grand total of $29.77 and saved $88.49, for 76%. Awesome! I'm excited!
At Albertsons, I also got Cheerios (usually $3.69, on sale for $2.50, and if you bought 5 the price dropped to $1.88, and I had three coupons for 50 cents off which rounded up to $1). I got Wishbone dressing for 50 cents, our butter spread for $1.99, Orville Redenbacher popup bowls, buy one get one free AND get 2 free 2 liter bottles of soda (we're having root beer floats tomorrow).
I got items for my girl's next care package (in blogs, I call my daughter the Ninja). I am aiming to send one out by Monday.
I am so excited! Now I need to go clean out the fridge, and then go get my Bountiful Basket (which has an item that is getting sent to the Ninja). Then I may go to Costco if my nerve doesn't fail...
So far this month, I have spent $95 (Albertsons, Amazon, and Bountiful Baskets) and have an adequate supply of paper towels (subscribe and save from Amazon), Food saver quart bags (ditto), vitamins for the Man, and am getting fruits and veggies here in an hour. I have a longer list for Winco later on today.
Spent: $95.
Saved: $123 for 56%.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
