This is going to be another busy weekend for the boys and I. My youngest son's Middle School Football Team is being honored at the High School Football Game tonight during halftime, so, of course we have to go to that. There is also a Tailgate Party in their honor before the game, so...and that is AFTER both of their basketball practices!!! Whew - I know..but, I'm not done yet! Tomorrow is a High School Basketball Parent Meeting/Cook -Out/Baby Shower (oh golly I forgot to make the scrapbook!!! HOLY COW!!!), then right after that is a cook-out for the older youth group at church!!! But...I'm giving it ALL to God, and whatever happens will be HIS will.
So, if I do get to make it to Kroger and Wal-Mart this weekend, this is my plan:
Kroger
(5) Bumblee Bee Tuna Pouches - $1.00 (I have 0.55/1 coupon, after doubling, that makes them a $0.10 money maker each)
(10) Cans of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup - $1.00 (I have $0.40/2 coupons, after doubling that makes each can $0.60, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, so, that would be a great way to get your casserole supplies cheap!)
(8) Crest Toothpaste, 4 oz - $1.00 (I have $1.00 off coupons, along with $0.50 off coupons, after doubling, this toothpaste will be free, and NO, I don't NEED 8 tubes of toothpaste, but, I will donate some to my sons Middle School Resource Center for children in need)
(7) Dawn Dish Detergent (only if Dawn Hand Renewal with Aloe is Included) - $1.00 (I have $1.00 off coupons along with $0.50 off coupons, making this free)
(14) Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls - $1.00 (I have $0.40/2 coupons, after doubling this make them $0.60 per can, and since both my boys can eat a can each at a time, these don't last long at my house!!!)
(4) Knorr Pasta or Rice Sides - $1.00 (no coupons for these, my boys just love them!)
(4) Little Debbie Snack Cakes - $1.00 (no coupons for these, they will be devoured by the end of the day with two teenage boys)
(14) Totino's Pizza Rolls, 15 ct - $1.00 (I have $0.40/2 coupons for these, after doubling, makes these $0.60 a box, that is a great price to me)
(13) Healthy Choice Cafe' Steamers - $1.78 (I have B5G1 FREE coupons, along with $1/2 coupons, so, after all coupons, it should make these $0.70 each, AWESOME!!!)
(5) Healthy Choice Steam Fresh Entree - $1.39 (I have $1.00 off coupons, making these $0.39 each, CHEAP LUNCH!!!)
(2) Hungry Man Entree' - $1.78 (I have $2.00 off coupons, makes these a $0.22 money maker each)
(5) Idahoan Mashed Potato Pouches - $1.00 (I'm not sure if these are on sale at my local Kroger, if they are, I have (2) $1.00 off coupons, and a $1/3 coupon, making them $0.40 each)
IF all prices are correct, and they have all the items in stock that I want, and all coupons work correctly, this should only cost $42.95 plus tax...however, I'm sure I will find some other great items on sale that I will just have to have....
Wal-Mart
(5) Trial Sized Pert Plus 3 in 1 or 2 in 1 - $0.97 (I have (3) $1.00 off coupons, giving me $0.03 in overage for each coupon, for a total of $.09 in overage)
(5) Trial Sized Febreeze to Go with Gain - $0.97 (I have (3) $1.00 off coupons, giving me $0.03 in overage for each coupon, for a total of $.09 in overage)
(5) Small Sized Gain Dish Detergent - $0.97 (I have (3) $1.00 off coupons, giving me $0.03 in overage for each coupon, for a total of $.09 in overage)
That makes a total of $.27 in overage for this trip, I know this does not sound like much, however, that's $.27 you can use on something you need.
My overages used to be much greater for Wal-Mart, and what I normally did was purchase my All You Magazines with my overage, but, recently on the Proctor and Gamble coupons, they added a disclaimer that you could only use 4 Like Coupons, of their coupons. I have read where others have used more than four at one time, however; I want to be completely legit when I use my coupons, so, I am limiting my Proctor and Gamble coupons to four at a time.
I actually have (6) of the Febreeze and Gain coupons, so, I will use (3) at a time, and check out twice, or go to two different stores, in order to make my coupon usage legit, according to the wording on the coupons.
If I happen to find any other neat deals at Wal-Mart or Kroger (if I get to go), I will share them with you!!!
Happy Shopping!!!
