August 2009

I don’t shop the deals much anymore but decided to make a mini trip today and bring the coupons along. I’ll admit I got that coupon high after hearing my totals so maybe I’ll make an effort to get back into it.

At Ralphs I paid only $3.10 after coupons. Here’s what I got :

- Peaches (.49 a pound)
- 2 Healthy Choice frozen entrees ($2.50 each) I used two $2 coupons
- Honey Bunches Of Oats ($1.99) I used a $2 coupon
- 2 Yoplait Delights ($1.88 each) I used two $1.25 coupons
- Diet Coke ($1.50) I used a free coupon earned at My Coke Rewards

—————————–

Here is what I scored at CVS :

- Herbal Essences shampoo ($2.99) Free after Extra Bucks
- Herbal Essences gel ($2.99) Free when you buy shampoo coupon
- Bic Soleil razor refills ($6.99) $3 Extra Bucks & used a $3 coupon
- Playtex tampons ($4.99) $4 Extra Bucks & used a $1 coupon
- Hershey’s candy ($1.49) Free after Extra Bucks
- Sara Lee bread ($2.00) Free after Extra Bucks
- Swiss milk ($2.29) $1 Extra Bucks

After my coupons my total was around $22. I paid for it with Extra Bucks from the school supply deals last week and a gift card. I received $14.50 in Extra Bucks for later so my grand total was $7.50 (includes tax).

Of course now that I look at my receipt, he didn’t take off the $3 for the gel so my grand total really should have been $4.50. Now I remember all the joys of coupons.. like something generally goes wrong

—————————————

In total I only spent $3.10 (in actual cash) so that makes me happy!

These deals are in San Diego but may carry over to other regions as well. Some of these deals are only good Sunday-Tuesday so will end tomorrow (8/11/09).

One more thing! Check out this new coupon database at Deal Seeking Mom. It’s quite helpful if you save your inserts from the Sunday papers.
