After taking almost six weeks off from using coupons, I’m excited to be back and at it again! I went to Dillon’s, Target, the health food store, and Bath & Body Works on Saturday and here’s what I ended up getting:
Total spent for all items shown above: $11.35
Here’s the price breakdown:
Bath & Body Works — picked up the free Chiffon lotion
Health Food Store — Bought: 4 grapefruit at $0.25 each — $1, 10 oranges at $0.20 each — $2, 5-lb. bag of organic carrots — $2.49, Organic leaf lettuce — $1.79, Rudi’s Bagel Thins — marked down to $0.99. Total with tax: $8.87
Dillon’s — Bought: 10 LUNA bars priced at $1.09 each. Used 10 $0.50/1 coupons (doubled — my mom had picked these up in some coupon booklets at the health food store). Total with tax: $1.33
Target — Bought: Fantastik — $1.97, used $1/1 coupon (no longer available) = $0.97, Reach Floss — $0.97, used $1/1 coupon (no longer available) = free. Total with tax: $1.15
I was disappointed that Target was out of almost everything I was hoping to buy–including the free KRE-O sets. Oh well! This week, I’ll try to make it there before Saturday so that I can (hopefully!) find more items in stock!
I didn’t get a picture of my Azure Standard order from last week posted on Saturday like I’d planned. Life happened… and the blogging plans went out the window. Oh well!
At any rate, here’s what I got
Azure Standard Order
5 lbs. of Lundberg Short-Grain Rice — $5.75
10 lbs. of organic Unbleached Flour — $11.50
4 lbs. of organic Valencia oranges — $4.50
20 lbs. of organic apples (seconds) — $10
Once again, my friend and I ordered together so that we didn’t have to worry about meeting the $50 minimum required to order for the local drop-off.
I was very pleased with the products I received, though the oranges were not that great, in my opinion. However, I did want to mention that the truck was supposed to come in at 10:30 a.m. and then, the night before, they emailed to say it wasn’t coming until 2 p.m. It didn’t end up coming in until 3 p.m.
My wonderful assistant, Erika, picked up the order for us, so it didn’t completely mess up our homeschool/daily schedule. If I had been trying to pick it up on my own and bringing all three children with me, it would have been quite frustrating to have the time changed the night before and then have to wait for the truck for an extra hour.
Last time around the truck was right on time, so I’m not sure if it being delayed is a common or a rare occurrence, but I wanted to mention it for those of you considering ordering from Azure Standard.
Also pictured is the box of Clif Zbars we got in the mail from Amazon. They were free using Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks.
So this Aldi shopping trip wasn’t as exciting as my Dillon’s shopping trip, but I here are the details:
Artisan Lettuce — $1.99 (I’m so happy to see Aldi carrying this and I hope they continue! It makes my salad-eating habit much more affordable!)
2 cans of diced tomatoes — $0.55 each
2 bags of frozen peas — $0.99 each
2 bags of corn chips — $0.99 each
2 bags of baby carrots — $0.99 each
1 bag of tortillas — $0.99
1 bag of chocolate chips — $1.69
2 8-oz. blocks of cheese — $1.99 each
Butter — $2.79
Feta cheese — $1.99
Dried cranberries — $1.39
Milk — $2.93
Total with tax: $26.60
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a really spectacular coupon-shopping trip. So I was pretty excited about tonight’s trip! Here’s what I bought:
2 boxes of Triscuits — $2.29 each, used $2/1 printable coupons = $0.29 each
2 Yoplait yogurts — $0.70 each, used $0.30/1 printable coupons (doubled) = $0.10 each
2 Schick Quattro razor packages — $3.50 each, used 2 $5/1 Ladies’ Quattro printable coupon = free plus overage
1 Schick Hydro Men’s razor — $6.29, used $5/1 Hydro printable coupon = $1.29 after coupon
2 Schick Quattro & Men’s Schick Xtreme razor — $3.16 & $3.50 each, used $6/2 printable coupon = $0.66 total for both
1 package Skittles — used free coupon
3 DOLE products — used 3 free coupons that Coupon Pro generously mailed me a few weeks ago
2 Clif LUNA bars — $1 each, used 2 $0.50/1 coupons (doubled) = free after coupons
1 Excedrin — $3.13, used $2/1 coupon (this printed at checkout the last time my husband went shopping) = $1.13 after coupon
Beech-Nut product — used free coupon
Before coupons and sales, my total was $58.18. After coupons and sales + a $5 catalina, the store owed me $0.73. I could have added on a small filler item, but I just decided to let the store have the small overage since I’d gotten overage myself already.
I had all three children when I went out shopping today, so I almost didn’t make the extra stop at the health food store. But since I was going to be driving right by it and I’d not been there in a week, I decided to go ahead and stop and unload everyone and see if there were any markdowns or other bargains to be had.
Well, imagine my surprise and excitement when, as soon as I walked in the door, I found 3-lb. bags of apples on sale for $0.99! I had to read the sign three times before I was sure that’s what it said.
I got ready to load up my cart, but then I saw the crate where they put marked down produce. Guess what it was full of? 3-lb. bags of apples marked down to $0.59 per bag!!!!
You can just envision my happy dance, can’t you?! I restrained myself and only bought six bags as I didn’t want to take all of them and I also wanted to make sure I didn’t buy more than I can use.
Without a doubt, this is the best deal I’ve ever scored on apples. I’m having visions of apple butter, Homemade Crockpot Applesauce, Slab Apple Pie, Mini Apple Pies, and so much more!
What are your best suggestions for using up a bunch of apples? I’d love to hear!
