So… I am BACCCCCCCCCCCK on the coupons.  It takes a lot of energy and most weeks I have barely enough to get my normal life in plus couponing let alone blogging about it but I have been “doing the deals” but I have heard from enough people that they miss seeing the deals listed on here so I thought that could be my new year’s blogging resolution!!!!  To post deals every single week!!  Even if its just the ones I am getting or the frees!  So we will start today with some good stock up sales.  This week I will be making runs to Kroger, Meijer, Walmart and Target.  I will list the deals each in their own post so that I can categorize them!!!  YAY for free and cheap stuff!!!!!

A few runs that I have achieved in the past months while I have been on hiatus…

Huggies Diaper Deal- last month at Walgreens

$8.99 / pack

- (1) RR $2 = $6.99 pack

- ($1) WAGS Coupon (from activity book)= $5.99

- ($2) Huggies IP = $3.99 or ($3) MFR Q from Huggies Mailer = $2.99 / pack.

$108.50 total- I ended up with 25 packs.  I will also submit this for Caregiver’s Marketplace Rebate and get an extra $18.75 back so  $89.75 TOTAL for that entire wall of diapers!!!!  Not bad eh?  The total without discounts or coupons would have been $312.25 so I saved $222.50!!!!!!

I also hit a major money maker at Meijer in the past few weeks.  Jello!!! Who knew?

Buy 6 Jello at $0.55 each= $3.30

- (2) $1.25 /3 Jello = $0.80 OOP

Receive back $2 CATALINA ONYO = $1.20 money maker… so I turned this around to my soups!

Each set of 4 Campbells Soups came out to $1.20 EXACTLY after my $0.40/4 Q!!!!

So each transaction looked like this:

6 Jello + 4 Campbells Soups

- (2) $1.25/3 Jello MFR Q

- (1) $0.40 / 4 Campbells (doubles to $0.80/4)

- (1) $2 Catalina from previous transaction = FREE – yes the transactions physically came out to ZERO!!!  because the items were NON-taxable grocery!!!  I walked out with everything you see in the photo for $0.80….!!!!!!

THEN I had another first!!!  I actually came up with OVERAGE at Kroger!!!

35 McCormick Gravy packets – 2/$1- had $0.50/2 (doubled to $1 so free!)

30 McCormick Spice Grinders- 10/$10 (had $1/1 ANY McCormick spice so FREE)

Now somehow it came up with $1.49 in overage… meaning my Total was NEGATIVE $1.49 after coupons… I think I had a cellfire Q that I did not account for.  So I literally had to get 2 candy bars or take the CASH back.  They PAID me $1.49 to take this photo worth of stuff home!  (also missing is 16 additional grinders and 10 other packets from a previous trip!) Sweet huh?
