I planned to do more grocery shopping this week, but it was just one of those weeks where life trumped the plans and a lot of things went undone. So we revised our menu plan a bit and ate from the freezer and pantry.
I did end up stopping by Dillon’s yesterday to get a few deals in their Mega Event:
Dillon’s Shopping Trip:
2.5 dozen eggs — on Manager’s Special for $1.99, used $0.55/2 dozen eggs coupon (no longer available — “doubled” to $1), $0.99 after coupon
2 cans of Hormel Chili — $0.89 when you purchase 10 participating items, used $0.55/2 coupon (“doubled” to $1), $0.39 each after coupons
2 Reach toothbrushes — $1 when you purchase 10 participating items, used $2/2 coupon (no longer available), free after coupon
4 bags of Garden of Eatin’ Chips — $1.79 when you purchase 10 participating items, used $1/1 peelies on bags, $0.79 each after coupon
3 bottles of Honest Tea — $1.25 (these were supposed to be part of the Buy 10 Mega Event, but they weren’t marked as such at our store), used 3 $0.50/1 coupons (doubled to $1), $0.25 each after coupons
1 Excedrin — used free coupon
2 rolls of Scotch tape — $1 when you purchase 10 participating items, used $0.55/1 coupon (“doubled” to $1), free after coupons!
Total spent: $9.01
Total saved (according to my receipt): $31.29
My mom also gave me some grapefruit and oranges she got this week. And we bought a gallon of milk at Braum’s.

I don’t appreciate that my comment was deleted simply for stating the correct coupon usage. I didn’t think this was something you would do! (Misuse a coupon OR delete a comment that was against you!)
Wow!! Great deal on the Reach toothbrushes!!! Perfect time to use the $2/2 coupon!!!
My local Kroger won’t accept internet printables over $1. I REALLY wanted to use my $2/2 to get a bunch of free toothbrushes. Hoping for a sale somewhere else soon.
I posted my two under $5 deals for the week- a target and bj’s trip!
I’ve pulled together a list which doesn’t require hunting down insert coupons… I think it comes together pretty well, and with $8 RR to keep rolling or save for next week! Thanks for the opportunity Crystal!
Thank you so much for all taht you do to encourage and help others. Your linkys have heled so much.
I’m going to have to head over and score some toothbrushes!
Socal dollar store grocries update!
Ohhh- Braums! We used to get frozen yogurt there & totally loved it. I would go out of my way on a trip for Braums, because there are none near where I live now. I am pregnant with weird tastes and could totally go for some now. You can enjoy some for me. I hope life trumping plans was a result of good things. I prayed you would have a smooth week this week.
Thank you for your prayers; you are so kind!
good price on eggs- we are no longer eating white grocery store eggs- brown farm eggs are $3.50/doz here
Lots of kleenex tissue from the Ralphs Mega deal!
Does Dillon’s double over .55 cent coupons? I thought it was .050 or below?
Dillons doubles up to 1.00. So if you have a coupon for .40, it will double to .80, .50 doubles to 1.00… .55 doubles up to 1.00. Does that make sense? So, the most you can get out of a coupon worth between .50 and 1.00 is 1.00. I hope that wasn’t too confusing! 🙂
We are eating from the freezer and pantry this week but I still had to pick up a few things to do so..We did okay for us of course I didn’t get anywhere near your total 🙂
What were the 10 participating items? Are they the things in the picture? Or were they other things you had to buy?
We don’t have a Dillons.
I included the details on the break-down of the shopping trip in the post. I hope that helps!
How big were the bags of chips?
The largest size that Garden of Eatin’ makes and then medium-sized bags.
Awesome! Love the Mega Sale!!
Thanks for the link up
I got the eggs this week too! Hopefully we’ll see another coupon again soon 🙂
Now, that’s one price on eggs that is hard to beat, I don’t even think Aldi could do it that cheap. I sure miss double coupons, because there are no double coupons in South Florida.
