Decided to have a look at the list over at Hot Coupon World and noticed I missed a great deal:

Nestle Toll House Morsels, 12 oz, 2.79, there’s a coupon at the Nestle site for 75¢ off one, making them only 54¢. http://www.verybestbaking.com/promotions/free/coupon/morsels_print.2009.12.aspx

I also noticed last night (in the wee hours) that there were plenty of coupons for Texas Toast croutons in my files, checked the price and those are a good deal too, at only 35¢ a package if you have the 50¢ off Q from 3/21 SS.

I’m planning on heading to Harris Teeter first thing (Hanbury Rd.). There are a few items that usually sell out and I’m bound and determined to get some this time.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Lori (the coupon consultant) has on her list for Farm Fresh in the morning. Last year they had nearly as many good deals at HT did for the same week. Of course, last year Bloom was also tripling in March. (so sad that went away!) Lots of competition, and it was doing great things for shoppers.

I spent $2.97 today, $10.83 yesterday, and $4.43 on Wednesday. My receipt from Thursday is around somewhere…

Here’s what I got today for under $3:

In the foreground I even got a catalina for 50 cents off my next purchase (which will be tomorrow).

In all honesty, this trip’s total should have been a bit higher (by about a buck). Not sure why it wasn’t, but it makes up for the errors on the previous 3 trips, each one had coupons that didn’t triple correctly, which tends to happen when the coupon is for a purchase of more than one item, the first trip was several dollars higher than it should have been. I figure it balances out.

Deals for this week

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Lori over at thecouponconsultant.com has published her weekly list of Farm Fresh match-ups. It it a lot of work, and I’m just thrilled that she does all that work for us.

There are a lot of great deals at Walgreens this week as well. Lori’s got the details on her couponing blog as well.

All You Grocery Challenge (AYGC)

Monday, July 13th, 2009

All You magazine is holding a grocery challenge starting today.

The challenge is to spend $25 or less per week per family member. This includes restaurant meals, but not toiletries and household goods.

Even though we’re going out of town for a few days during the challenge, I decided it would be fun to participate. Since I have ample stockpiles, it won’t be all that much of a stretch for us. Check out what I have on hand already… (forgot to take a picture of what’s in the freezer…)

Next to the workbench, I appropriated some more shelf space for my haul at a few triple-coupon events.
