Some of our deals from the last week





We had so many groceries in the house, that all I had to do as far as REAL grocery shopping goes, was a quick trip to Kroger where I picked up markdown produce, milk, bread, and a few organics. Total $9.




So then we did a lot of "freebie" shopping for the week and are we ever stocked up on breakfast and snack foods now!

Freebies from Publix


Thanks to BOGO sales combined with some great coupons!
These are the freebies from the trip:

  • 12 boxes of Pop-Tarts
  • 8 boxes Eggo Waffles
  • 4 boxes of pasta
  • 2 bags of chicken sandwiches (these were BOGO, but both ended up being free thanks to a TMF peelie!)
  • 1 skillet meal
Total for everything we were buying would have been around $83, but after coupons and sales and rebates it was about $10 including tax!



CVS Runs






This was a couple different runs to CVS (Matt did most of it this week!)...thanks to coupons (and overage), ECBs, and other deals the only things that we actually had to pay for here were two of the dish soaps--for .38 cents each!

Walgreens Freebies

Walgreens had some GREAT deals this week on Kellogg's items that also had some great coupons in the paper! We could have gotten a lot more but there's only so much store credit you can use. :-)



  • yup, 10 boxes of Nutri-Grain bars
  • four boxes of Special K bars
  • four boxes of cereal
  • two boxes of Rice Krispie Treats
  • one Glade candle

I also took MIL to WAGS this week and showed her how to do the deal--she made $3+ by buying 10 free Kellogg's items!

I still need to figure out how much all this stuff would have cost regularly, but I know it would have been a LOT more than $0! :-)



Rite Aid FAR Stuff

Matt did the Rite-Aid run this week, too. ALL of this was free after coupons and rebates!

Okay...

...so I've fallen so far behind in so little time that it's obvious to me I'm not going to be able to keep up this blog along with the other ones and my DT work. So...I'm going to make a new goal of posting here twice a week. One post with my deals from the week and one post with a WW-friendly deal. :-) Yes, you can coupon and lose weight--or at least I'm going to try!!!
