Shopping Trip - October 8th

Today, I used some of those Glade catalinas that I earned to pay for a few things that I needed:



Total Spent: .17 cents
Total before coupons: $32.67
View receipt


I got:

Half a pound of organic, fair trade coffee
1 can of black olives
1 bag of chow mein noodles
3 bags of Wacky Mac
- on sale for .99 cents, used three .50/1 coupons from the 6/22 newspaper inserts, free after doubles
1 bag of organic tortilla chips
4 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
- on sale for $2 each, and Safeway is running a promotion where you instantly save $4 off your transaction for purchasing 4 Philadelphia Cream Cheeses. I then used a coupon for $1 off 4 Philadelphia Cream Cheese packages to sweeten the deal further. I got this coupon in a trade a few months ago, looks like it came from an in-store tearpad.
1 8 ounce bag of shredded cheese
1 bottle of International Delight coffee creamer
1 pound of roma tomatoes
1 pound of onion
A 10 pound bag of potatoes

Hello! I have been looking over your blog and I just want to know, how do you do it? Where do you find all these great coupons, what are catalinas? I would love to figure out how to do this, but I'm so confused :P I'm looking into buying a house, so I would love to save as much money as possible, here's my email if you ever have the time to explain it all to me :)

You are absolutely amazing... good job girl!

you are my hero! I love savings and deals and actually am thinking about starting a blog about it. My deals tend to be more clothing deals and less coupons, thats more of my husband's deal. He always impresses the cashiers and often pays less then half of the actual cost. Not nearly as amazing as you, but still much better then most can do. I'm so excited I found your blog, definitely want to learn all I can!

Shannon: Hi there, Thanks for stopping by! :)

Rossy: Thanks for the comment! I'm all about the clothing deals, so you are a woman after my own heart. It sounds like you and your husband get some great deals!

If I lived near you, I'd probably stalk you...like sit outside the store with my coupon binder waiting for you to show up so I could follow you with my cart and copy your every move...wow that sounded more than creepy didn't it? I can't help it I just want to copy your deals lol! We don't have the same stores though :o(

Beeb said...

Jess, I'm totally laughing over the mental image of being stalked by another coupon-er throughout the store! Too funny. Thanks for the compliment!

What stores do you have? A lot of the catalina deals are nationwide, so some of the deals I do may still apply to your stores. :)
