Fry's Mega 10 deal

Well if you haven't noticed, Fry's has been running their Mega 10 promotion again.  They will give you $5 off every 10 items that you purchase from the participating products.  This is a couponers dream come true.  This means an automatic $.50 off each item and then you pair it with a coupon--that equals FREE and almost FREE stuff!!

Here are a couple of trips that I made this week.  I got a whole heck of a lot more but didn't take pictures before my kids got into it :)

First trip, I got 21 items and only paid $.11 cents.  I actually had an overage (credit) of $3.98.  The store cannot pay you in cash, so I just took back some of my coupons.

In the second trip, I brought home 51 items and only paid $13.12!!  That was a savings of 89% (just under $112)!!

If you want to learn how to do this, please contact me.  I would love to tell you about Coupon $ense and teach you how to have shopping trips like mine!!

My Pantry Pics

 

 

 

People who know how much I love coupons, are always asking me about my pantry.  They want to know what I have and how do I store it.  Well, I have to say that I'm blessed to have a good size room WITH shelves.   In these pictures, my shelves look a little bare to me.  With the kids home this summer, we went thru a lot of extra stuff.  Anyway, if you're curious--here it is.

The Cottonelle TP  is what I have left over.  I have not paid one penny for TP since October of last year!!  Right now, I have 18 boxes of cereal and my kids think we're getting low! LOL  You can't see in the 3rd photo, but I have toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and hand soap comin' out my ears!  Great thing is... I got it all FREE!  Take a look at the BBQ sauce!  Geez Louise!  I need some good recipes, so I can start using this stuff :)

So, if you're interested in learning how to stock up--contact me and I'd be glad to share my secrets!

September Totals!

Since tomorrow is the last day of the month and I'm pretty sure that I won't have time to go shopping, I will go ahead and post my totals for the month.


Drum roll please.....

Total grocery value  $422.02
TOTAL PAID- only $133.35!!
Saved $288.68 or 68.40%


I did pretty good this month.  I didn't need a whole lot as I my pantry is well stocked.  I bought mostly produce and other perishables along with the FREE & almost FREE items.  I always shop with a list and a plan--no impulse shopping for me!


If you'd like to learn how to do this too, please contact me for a FREE workshop!

My CVS deals this week!

I love CVS!  These are some of the deals that I'll be picking up with my coupons this week!
 

I'm getting a Reach 2 or 4 pack of toothbrushes, Listerine Total Care mouthwash, and Total Care dental floss for only $3.97!!

Here's the math:

3 x $3.99 = $11.97
Minus a $5 for coupon= $6.97 
Minus $3 I will earn in CVS Extra bucks
Total = $3.97 for all 3 items!!!!!

I'm also getting...

3 Tide 2x laundry soap

1 Bounce dryer bar

3 Dawn dish soap

Here's the math:

Total $25.00 for these 7 items

Minus $4.75 in manufacturer's coupons = $20.25
Then I'll be getting $10 back in CVS Extra bucks, 
so that means that I will only pay $10.25 for all these items!!   
WHOO HOO!

I can teach you how to get great deals like this!  Contact me for a FREE workshop!

My Pantry Racks

So, a few of you have asked about the racks in my pantry that I use to store canned goods. (See my earlier post in Sept titled, My Pantry Pics)  I love my racks!  They help me stay organized and makes my shelves look like a grocery store.  I got them at Costco a few years ago, and see them every once in a while.  If you can't wait, check out their website--   http://www.shelfreliance.com/

I like the small sections because they can be hooked together and you can also change the size for each individual can.  With all the stuff I get when using my coupons, I had to get myself organized.  Now, I can see exactly what I have and how many!

FREE groceries this week!

Thanks to Coupon $ense, I can see at a glance what products I'll get free this week by matching my coupons with sale items.  This is today's list!  Of course, I NEVER just buy one!  I'll be getting 6 of each, because I always collect multiple copies of the same coupons and this allows me to stock up on these amazing deals!! 

So, I can potentially bring home $55.50  worth of product for absolutely FREE!   I am really saving even more than that because the original prices are always much higher.

If you want to learn how to do this to, please contact me at crazy4couponZ@gmail.com.  I'd love to be your instructor!  I have lots of great tips for helping you save big bucks on your grocery bill and the best part is... my help is always FREE!
