HT Triples trip #2 only $2.42 OOP!!

I am so happy that i realized the McCormick pure vanilla extracts were on sale. I bought 4 so that should last me quite a while. So, this trip was great. I got to use the KMart $10/$20 q - YAY, and I utilized the Kellog and McCormick catalina promotions. When all was said and done I had only spent $2.42 and I walked out of there with all those items AND a $1.50 OYNO, AND a Free Gallon of Milk catalina. I was so happy! Thanks, HT, for the coupon promotion!!

HarrisTeeter TRIPLES trip #1 . . .$0.59 OOP

I can't even believe how awesome triples are - I heard a rumor that HT will be doing it once a once a month . . .hope hope! Anyway, this HT triples is all about the McCormick catalinas. $2.50 OYNO wyb 3. And they're free :-) So I began w/2 transactions, buying 3 McCormicks each time, $0.06 OOP, and recieving $5 OYNO total. Then I went back with my cart and bought the rest of the items. I wish I would have had more time to prepare for triples but we really didn't need a whole lot so I didn't get as organized as I usually would. Plus, the deals have been so awesome at Publix that we are compltely stocked on essentials.

Publix 3/24/2009 $6.93 saved over 80%!!!

I loved this scenario because I had my Kmart $10/$20 - yahoo- and my other overage providers were the Sundown viatmins, and the J&J kits. I was so happy that the Marie Callenders were on BOGO, priced at $1.75 because I had 4 $1.50/1 mq's and there is also a $1/4 ConAgra q that I was able to use in conjunction, making the dinners FREE, and that is a total score. Maybe I will get a raincheck on those and order some more q's. This trip was on a Wednesday, and the Penny Item was peanut M & M's, so I got a bag of those as well. My cashier was Michael, and he was GREAT. He is from NYC and is very fast, nice, and smart w/coupons. I will have to be on the lookout for him again :-)

3/23/09 Publix $8.09

Well, I bought my final 3 FREE All detergents this trip. What an awesome deal. Thanks, Chandler, for the commisary q's! The overage providers in this transaction were the J&J 1stAid Kits, the Oikos,and the wonderful Kmart $10/$20 q. I used over $72 in coupons, making my subtotal only $4.39!!! This shopping trip was especially fun because I was out of my CG makeup, and I had some really good CG q's to score these 2 foundations which are priced @$14/pc. So, for 2 CG makeups I used 1 $2.00 mq, 1 B1G1 q $13.99, and 2 Publix $1 off any CG q's. I was also excited to see there is a new Hallmark tearpad for Expressions cards, $2 off 3 cards. This makes them 0.33/pc.

Publix 3/18 $0.97 OOP awesome

This Publix trip was a few days back - I was so proud of it! And the cashier was really nice so that made it fun, too. For only $0.97 I bought
1 Arrugula greens
2 McCormick Grinders
2 Greek Yogurt
1 All Laundry detergent
1 Arnold bread
1 Fast Fixin's chicken nuggets
1 Digiorno 200 cal pizza
2 J&J First Aid kits
1 Lender's bagels

PUBLIX $2 MONEY MAKER yahoo!!!!!

Last night I hurried to Publix to use the Publix store q's that were expiring 3/20. I bought the following and was handed $2 cash:

2 McCormick spice grinders (garlic sea salt & montreal steak)
1 Gallon Publix skim milk
3 Jumbo boxes Kelloggs Rice Krispies cereals (original, cocoa, & whole grain)
1 All laundry detergent (will buy 3 more for $0 before Wed)
3 120z packs Buddig lunch meat (2 honey ham, 1 turkey)
2 bags Fast Fixins frozen chicken fingers

John put away all the groceries before I could get a picture but that's fine -
Anyway, it was a great feeling to use the McCormick, Kellogs, Fast Fixins, and Buddig store q's before they expired. I hate to waste a "hot" Publix q b/c they are in such high demand, and also b/c I would be kicking myself if I didn't buy those free lunch meats and chicken fingers. I really only bought the Rice Krispies to get the milk for free, but John will certainly eat the cereal.

Target MM Gillette BONANZA ;-)

This was so awesome! I had coupons for all of these items, but the gillette q's were the overage-providers. Here's what I bought:
1 Tampax 36 ct
1 Always 38 ct
1 Rimmel mascara (hope it's good?!)
6 Gillette body wash
10 Gillette clinical deoderant
$5 giftcard
($4.31) paid with another gift card
TOTAL $0.69 MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 1st Millitary Commisary Trip!! $20 OOP

Thank you, Chandler, for letting me tag-a-long on base for this shopping spree! Sorry about the MP on our ass - i had no idea cell phones weren't allowed!! Over $160 in groceries for only $20 . . .The 42 Rolaids and 7 KY's provided the overage. The prices at the commisary are really low to begin with so the overage, combined with MORE coupons (of course!)went a long way. I was able to buy the large bags of Iams for $9.99, over 50% less than usual. And the puppy pads were only $7.99 for 100. (The best deal I had found until the commisary was 50 pads for $10.) Such a great store with so many nice people, PLUS soooooo many awesome new coupons from the commissary. I was fortunate to get the invite!

FINAL KNOX PURCHASE :-)

This is the best deal of my couponing "career!" 37 Knox, 3 bottles of wine and $80 in Publix giftcards - for $2.14 OOP. (I actually had a negative $0.20 balance, but the taxes brought the total up.)Buying the giftcards was a great way to insure my Knox overage didn't get wasted on items that were over-priced. And now I have time to pick/choose great deals, too. Also, we don't really need anything at the moment and are busting at the seams! I wonder if there will ever be a coupon overage deal as SWEET as the Knox?!?!

FREE Revlon shadow singles at Walgreens

Saturday I scored some Revlon eyeshadows - they are on (unmarked) sale for $1.99. I had $2/1 qs and the cashier was so nice. Too bad theywere out of the Purex for the free detergent deal, but I knew I was probably too late to get it. And at least i got the eyeshadow!

Only $0.85 for 5 Buddig lunch meat & 2 Kraft dressing

I am so glad the Buddig sale lasted through this week - they are ringing up $2.50. I had $1/1 man q and $1/1 Publix q for each. The Kraft dressings are BOGO at $3.19, so with my $1/2 man q and $1/2 Target q they were $1.19. My subtotal was $3.69, minus the $3/$15 RiteAid q, brought my subtotal down to $0.69 - with tax was $0.85. awesome!

More Knox overage . . . $2.71 OOP

I think I am starting to get a Knox hangover . . .only 22 more to use. So that is $57.42 in overage to use up. And I paid $15 for this last set of Knox q's, so it really is like I paid $15 for a $57.42 Publix card. So I am up $42.42. Anyway, this trip, I paid $2.71 OOP. I used $31.62 in Knox overage and $56.44 in other q's. I purchased $90 in groceries (granted $16.68 of that was Knox, which I wouldn't have bought otherwise - so, really more like $74 in groceries). So happy with it!

TRNS #3 - DRUMROLL, PLEASE . . . $0.12 OOP!!!!!!!!!

OK, so this is by far my best Publix trip - (or at least right up there with the Kimberly Clark MM on Superbowl Sunday) - $146 of groceries for $0.12!!! Transaction Three - took some time, but well worth it. Publix, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And Knox q's, I love you, too!!!)And I would be wrong not to thank CHANDLER for all her help/coupons/wine - I could not have done any of this without you, girl! (I feel like I am accepting an award or something - LOL)!!!!!!!

PUBLIX 03/02/10 Transanction Two $1.45 OOP

This was such a sweet deal - the Ultra Pearls are $8 or $9/pc usually, so to get 2 bags PLUS all the Hunt's tomoatoes was awesome!

PUBLIX 03/02/10 Transanction One $9.21 OOP

Loved this General Mills promotion - got so mcuh overage for buying the 24 canned veggies and Progresso beans. If I hadn't made a coupon mistake my total would have been under $2 - oh well, I was still really happy with the $9 OOP because I got an incredible discount and I had two more transactions to go . . .

CHANDLER's 1st Publix transaction 2/28/10 $100 of groceries for $5.06!!!!

Go, Chandler! you did a great job - i still have so much to learn! And PS I LOVE how you used some of your overage to buy the flowers - good for you :-)
