Weekly Coupon Shopping

Pick N Save

I have never lived in a place with a store that does double coupons, so I was super excited to find out that Pick N Save was running a couple double coupon days this week.  I took full advantage!  Since it was double double, you could double 10 coupons per transaction, and your total had to be over $25 after store discounts but before manufacturer coupons.  It took me about an hour to get my coupons ready and my plan all worked out, but I went from a total of $113.22 to $23.30, so I'd say that was an hour well spent!

Transaction #1:
  • 2 Simply Lemonade Juices: $2.99 each.  Used 2 $0.75/1 printables (doubled to $1.50/1) = paid $2.98/2, or $1.49 each.
  • 4 Golden Grahams Cereals: $1.98 each. Used 4 $0.85/1 printables (doubled to $1.70/1) = paid $1.04/4, or $0.28 each.
  • 2 Snickers Ice Cream Bars: $2.50 each. Used $2/1 printable (no longer available; was supposed to use 2, but 1 got missed and I didn't notice) = paid $3/2, or $1.50 each.
  • Snyder's Pretzels: $2.25. Used $1/1 (mailer, doubled to $2/1) = paid $0.25.
  • 6 Jell-O Pudding and Jell-O Mixes: $0.75 each. Used two $1/3 printables (doubled to $2/3) = paid $0.50/6, or $0.08 each.
  • 4 Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream: 4/$12, save $2 instantly when you buy 4. Used $2.50/3 printable and $0.75/1 printable (doubled to $1.50/1) = paid $6/4, or $1.50 each.
  • 2 Packages Chicken Breasts: on sale for $1.78/lb. = paid $2.63 and $2.53
  • Total before store discounts and coupons: $67.47. Total after all discounts and coupons: $18.21!
Transaction #2:
  • 4 Huggies Wipes: $2 each. Used four $1/1 printables (doubled to $2/1) = 4 free!
  • 6 Kraft Fresh Take Mixes: $1.99 each. Used six $1/1 (various magazines, doubled to $2/1) = 6 free!
  • 2 Shredded and 3 Block Kraft Cheeses: $1.99 each. Used $5/5 ad coupon = paid $4.95, or $0.99 each.
  • Total before store discounts and coupons: $45.75. Total after all discounts and coupons: $5.09!
I am debating going back on Saturday for more cereal and chicken, and maybe more ice cream and juice if we have room in our fridge and freezer.  These are awesome deals!  Now to find some recipes to use up all that cheese...
