Free Through This Wednesday at Kroger or Tom Thumb/Safeway/Randall’s

10. March 2008 by Lisa.

If you clipped coupons this past Sunday, you can get the following items free:

French’s Classic Yellow Mustard (8oz.)
Reynolds Baking Cups (50ct.)

Kroger also has Hungry Jack Easy Mash’d Potatoes (3.5oz.) for free with this week’s coupon.

Only purchase one of each per transaction. This way all your coupons will be doubled. These stores only double the first of like coupons. So if you try to buy 10 mustards with 10 coupons in one transaction, only the first mustard will actually be free. Same with the baking cups. I made 10 separate transactions and only went through the line once. I had a very understanding and patient cashier. However, I still break out into a sweat each time I hold up the line like that.

I should tell you the stores won’t allow you to have a negative or $0.00 total, you will have to buy something else with each transaction.

Isn’t coupon shopping great?

My Trip to Walgreens

10. March 2008 by Lisa.

Hope you saved the Walgreens inserts from your Sunday papers. They contain store coupons which you can stack with manufacturer coupons for even greater savings. Here is what I purchased in one transaction:

20 packs of trident gum (Walgreen’s coupon was buy one, get one. I also had a manufacturer buy one, get one coupon. So each time I bought two packs they were free. I purchased 10 Sunday papers, so I had 10 inserts and 10 manufacturer coupons in total.)
2 tubes of Aquafresh toothpaste (I stacked store and mfr. coupons so both were free)
3 boxes of Puffs facial tissues (stacked store and mfr. coupons and this was my only out of pocket expense - they won’t let me have a negative or $0.00 total.)
Total out of pocket: $2.31

Walgreens also has an excellent rebate program. Many of those deals you can actually make money from (you receive an overage when combining a coupon with a rebate deal). I don’t do the rebate program because I don’t like the paperwork - too detailed and time consuming - but I know several who do and love it.
