My Shopping

In preparation for a coupon class I was teaching I went shopping yesterday. There really are some great deals this week and I thought I'd share.

First up was Safeway. (Find details of Safeway deals HERE. Beauty and the Beast deals HERE or HERE.)I got -
8 pounds of strawberries - $1.00/lb. (Stock-up price for me. More strawberry freezer jam!)
2 Barilla pasta sauces - $2.00 each
2 Barilla pastas - Free WYB 2 Barilla sauces
Beauty and the Beast DVD - $15.00 (plus $10.00 coming back in rebates)
Jolly Time Popcorn - Free with DVD
Princess water bottle - Free with DVD
Pumpkin - Free with DVD (should have been a medium pumpkin but I couldn't find them)
TOTAL - $27.59 (will receive $10.00 back in rebates)

Next stop was Smith's. (Details on Smith's sales HERE.)
I got -
5 Philidelphia cream cheese - FREE
4 Soda - $0.54 each
1 DiGiorno pizza - $2.99
1 loaf of bread - $0.99 (because we needed it)
Total - $5.98

Last stop of the day (because I had four wonderful helper boys with me) was Kohl's. I got-
#1, 1 little boy tie - FREE
#2, 2 women's T-shirts - $0.85 for both!
#3, 1 woman's shirt and one Melissa and Doug lacing shoe - $1.28 for both!
Total - $2.13

The deal here was I used my $10.00 Kohl's coupons and bought things on clearance that were just over $10.00.

I had received one coupon in the mail and purchased two newspapers ($0.75 each) when I heard the was a coupon/sticker on the front page for $10.00 off a $10.00 purchase at Kohl's. I figured paying $0.75 for $10.00 was a good deal.

Since I had three separate coupons I had to do three separate transactions. (The coupons can't be used together to get $30.00 off.) The cashier didn't mind one bit and rung my groups up separately without a problem.

GRAND TOTAL - $37.93 (plus $10.00 back in rebates)
If I hadn't purchased things that were (1) on sale and (2) used coupons, my total for everything would have been $208.45, which I never would have paid for those things!
