Nestle Pure Life Water $1.54/case at Smith's!

Water is an essential for life and a good thing to store in case of any type of emergency. There is a good deal on water going on right now at Smith's.

The 24-count Nestle Pure Life water bottles are included in the Buy 10 Save $5 promo. at $2.79. (See other items included in this sale HERE. Thanks, Centsible Sisters!) You will need to throw in 6 other items included in the buy 10 save $5 promo. to get the $2.79 sale price on the water. Think of using 6 free pasta or $0.39 Powerade...

There is also a Catalina Promo. running on this water until 4/3/11. When you buy:

2 cases - $1.00 back on your next order

3 cases - $2.00 back on your next order

4 cases - $5.00 back on your next order.

So basically when you combine the sale with the Catalina, you end up paying $1.54 per case (about 6 cents per bottle)!

Here's the breakdown:

Buy 4 cases of Nestle Pure Life (24 ct.) at $2.79 each - $11.16

+ price of 6 other participating products

Total price: $11.16 + price of other items, Get $5.00 back

You can then use this $5.00 Catalina to buy four more cases of water (and 6 other promo. items) to pay $6.16 out of pocket on the water and get another $5.00 Catalina back.

If you happened to print the coupons availabe last month for this water (no longer available) your deal will be even sweeter!

WATER STORAGE

Want to know how much water your family will need? HERE is great booklet from FEMA. They suggest storing at least one gallon of water per person, per day, for two weeks. (Each person needs 14 gallons of water.)

14 gallons of water = 106 bottles

(Thanks, Prepared LDS Family and Centsible Sisters!)

My Shopping

I was welcomed home from our family vacation by a fridge full of moldy left-overs. We had no milk, eggs, bread, or bananas. I figured since I had to go buy some essentials anyway I might as well try to do some couponing too.

My Smith's Trip - I was paid $6.00 cash!

My trip to Smith's today was unbelievable...in a very good way.

I had read in the ad last week that if you transfer a prescription (ends 7/31) you get $25.00 store credit. I asked at the pharmacy yesterday if that was still going on and yes, indeed, it was. I had brought a prescription to refill just in case, so I dropped it off.

When I went to do my $1.00 coupon deals today, I checked to see if my prescription was ready. It was and the grand total for the prescription was $2.36, and the $25.00 credit loaded right onto my Smith's card. Woo-hoo!

I wasn't sure if the $25.00 would come off all at once or if the balance would carry over if I spent under $25.00. I decided to spend right around $25.00 after coupons just to be safe. (FYI, it all comes off.)

When I checked out, my balance was in the negative and the cashier actually handed me $6.00 cash back! I have never in my life had that happen before. I was in such a tizzy of excitment that I left my $0.41 in the change dispenser.

Here's what I got:

3 Weber marinade packets - FREE
1 Dawn dish detergent - FREE
2 Bounty paper towels - $0.09 each
3 Frigo string cheese - $1.97 each
1 Kraft sliced cheese - $0.79
1 Safeguard hand soap - $0.50 overage
3 Ivory bar soap 3-pks - FREE
2 Gillette body wash - FREE
2 Old Spice body wash - overage
8 Crest toothpastes - FREE
1 Lady Speed Stick deodorant - $0.12 overage
2 Trident gums - FREE
2 Gallons of milk - $2.29 each
1 dozen eggs - $0.79
4+ pounds of ground beef - $8.80
2 bags Kroger frozen veggies - $0.75 each
1 Ritz crackers - $2.50 (our splurge)
1 Colosomo sausages - FREE (free item coupon)



After all sales, coupons, and my $25.00 credit from the pharmacy my total was NEGATIVE $6.41...and she handed me cash back. UNREAL.

I saved 107%. WHAT? I have never been PAID to buy meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and toothpaste before! Do you hear my smile?

The Smith's deals are HERE if you're interested in doing some of this for yourself.

*I also noticed that the American Beauty Quick Cook pasta is $1.00 with a $0.50 printable coupon HERE...FREE pasta!
