I might try and post these weekly, or whenever I have a good shopping trip to share. Last week the kiddos and I made four trips to the store, three trips I focused on building the stockpile. By the fourth stop the kiddos were really tired of grocery shopping. We stayed locally, and I learned a good couponing tip too.

I had spotted a great pizza deal at Gene’s Heartland Foods, and I had 2 coupons too. The pizzas were selling for $.97 ea, and they make a fantastic fast lunch for all my boys. My coupons only saved me $1.00 on the transaction, but I learned that they will double coupons up to $.50 as long as the item is not on sale. Nice tip, and I can’t complain about a super easy lunch to make.

Then it was off to Walgreens. I shopped this sale late in the week, and I was worried that everything on my list was going to be sold out. I’ve run into a local extreme couponer at Walgreens before, and I know their great deals tend to sell out fast. I had 6 coupons for the transaction, and saved 47% after all the coupons rang up. I also earned $2.00 in register rewards thanks to the toothbrushes. I’ll probably put the register rewards coupon towards diapers.

Lastly it was an awesome BOGO Shopping Trip at Woods.

This little trip helped out with the stockpile, and I saved 47% again! The kiddos were really excited to pick out  their favorite fruit snacks. The fruit snacks regularly cost $2.99 but, after the BOGO discount and my coupons doubling they were only $.99 each. You just can’t beat that deal.

I didn’t have any freebies this week, but one of my favorite deals was the deodorant deal at Walgreens. They were down to $.74 with the help of coupons. Also the Fruit Snacks for just $.99! The kiddos liked the fruit snacks deal too.

I’m anxious to see what coupons are in this Sunday’s papers, and I hope to find some good deals this next week too. Happy couponing everyone!
