Our first stop was Wags:
- 2-6 packs Scott Naturals Paper Towels. Used 2 Wags q's $1/1 and 2 Manufacturer q's $1.50/1 = $5.00
- 3 rolls Scotch Tape. Used Wags Q B1G2 and 2 Manufacturer q's $1/1 = FREE
Wags allows you to use a coupon on a free item, as does Jewel...more on that in a few:) I am not a huge fan of Scott products, but I have to choose my battles...so I give a little on brand loyalty with my paper towels so I can maintain other loyalties to my favorites like Peter Pan peanut butter, Angel Soft toilet paper, Degree Deoderant and Tide. In order for me to keep within a budget, I found I need to sway on some things to hit the mark and paper towels was just one of those things. Total OOP was $5.89 with tax and total coupon savings was $10.98.
Next stop, Meijer. I know I have said it before, but if you haven't signed up for Meijer's mPerks....you should! Right now they are giving you a $5 off a $5 purchase q just for signing up...what are you waiting for? I was also lucky enough to find one of those little gems waiting to be claimed under my mPerks offers...and it was perfect timing.
Meijer had Angel Soft on sale for $4.99 for 12 double rolls. I had two $0.50/1 q's and used my mPerks q for $5/$5...I brought home 24 double rolls for only $4.38....A STEAL!
We hit up Target for some Close-To-Free Goodies.
- 6 Bottles Nivea Body Wash $3.04. Used 6 $3/1 q's = $0.24
- 2 Bottles Nivea Body Wash $3.99. Used 2 $3/1 q's =$1.98
- 1 Connect 4 Travel Game $4.99. Used $3/1 q =$1.99
- 3 Pampers Kandoo Toddler Wipes $1.42. Used 3 $1/1 = $1.26
Total OOP was only $8.20 with tax....I love Target:)
Last stop...Jewel. It was like Christmas over at my Batavia Jewel. All sorts of goodies for low, low prices. I have some shopper loyalty to my Batavia Jewel ladies. They are awesome, friendly, funny women who are always willing to help and never get annoyed at my stacks of q's....thanks Ladies for your patience:)
I had to do two transactions at Jewel so I could take home two insanely cheap hams.
Transaction 1:
- 3 boxes Nestle Snack Size Drumsticks $4.00 each. Used 3 $1/1 q's = $ 9.00
- 2 boxes Mrs. T's Pierogies $3.49 B1G1. Used 2 $1/1 q's = $1.49
- 2 boxes Jif Corn muffin mix. 2/$1
- 1 Lawry's Marinades $1. Used 2 .50/1 q's = $0.50
- 1 64 oz. Minute Maid OJ $2.5. Used 1 $1/1 q's = $1.50
- 1 8.5lb Shank Ham $12.29. Used $9/1 ham with $20 purchase Jewel Q = $3.29
I also had a $2 off a $25 or more purchase Jewel q that I threw into the mix. My OOP was $15.15 and I got back a $4 ONYO Cat for the ice cream purchase to roll into my next transaction.
Transaction 2:
- 3 boxes Haagen-Dazs Drumsticks $4.00 each. Used 3 $1/1 q's = $ 9.00
- 2 boxes Mrs. T's Pierogies $3.49 B1G1. Used 2 $1/1 q's = $1.49
- 1 Lawry's Marinades $1. Used 2 .50/1 q's = $0.50
- 1 64 oz. Minute Maid OJ $2.5. Used 1 $1/1 q's = $1.50
- 1 8.5lb Shank Ham $12.56. Used $10/1 ham (Dominick's Store Q) with $20 purchase = $2.56
I also had another one of those handy dandy $2/$25 to bring down the cost as well as my $4 Cat. My OOP was $9.39 and I got back another $4 OYNO Cat and a surprise Cat for a $20 gift certificate to Red Envelope compliments of Haagen-Dazs. Check it out...
I spent a total of $24.54 OOP at Jewel and left with $4 for my next trip and a $20 gift certificate (almost broke even)...not too shabby for a whole lotta ham, ice cream and a small gift.
Believe it or not, it was easier to plan out those savings than to come home and try to cram anything else into our already bulging freezers (We have a small chest freezer and two standard refrigerators with freezers). If I blog about anymore frozen goodies, please call me out on my insanity. I am going to have to start stashing my groceries at the neighbors...
P.S. I made a quick drive-by at another Wags and picked up more free tape and $0.50 bribes for the kiddos....total OOP $1.40 with tax.
