Shopping Deals- 6/3/11

So I planned on updating more frequently this week and then the week got away from me, its Friday already and I haven't blogged since last Friday so here goes. 
I went to Pathmark, Target, King Kullen and Rite-Aid since my last post and got some great deals! 

This picture includes a few things that I got from Rite-Aid, Target and King Kullen
When I went to Target I got 3 tubes of Crest Toothpast for only $4.24. I was like buying 1 and getting 2 FREE, 1 tube goes for $4.36. SCORE
Then in the dollar section at Target I grabbed the popsicle thing for the kids! and the love it and for $1 we can keep making them all summer!
The Herbal Essence Shampoo was on clearance, not sure why but I'm guessing because off the funky design/advertisement on the bottle is unlike all the other bottles so I grabbed that for only $1!

I went to Rite Aid for Diapers and Gardening gloves, I had $5 off coupon for diapers plus a $3 off $15 purchase or more coupon which was a reward at the bottom of one of my past receipts. I ALWAYS get these and love them so be sure to always check your receipt. I ended up getting the 2 pairs of Gardening gloves for FREE!
I  had planned on purchasing Garnier Fructis Shampoo that was on sale at Rite Aid because I had 2 coupons that were each $1. Then I saw the King Kullen circular and saw it was on sale there too or the same price and KK doubles $1 coupons. So the sale was $2.99 a bottle and I got $2 off each bottle so they came out to 99 cents each!
The Ragu sauce was on sale at KK 2/$4 I had a $1 off coupon which doubles to $2 so got them each for $1. I also got a print out with my receipt, my next purchase of $15 or more will get a FREE gallon of milk. Which is great because with milk being around $4-$5 a gallon and the way we go through milk in this house thats a deal for me!

This is from my trip to Pathmark
I went Friday evening, they were having a special sale that was Friday ONLY.
I misplaced my receipt but off the top of my head due to sale prices and coupons, I got the 3 of the 4 boxes of fruit roll ups FREE. Pringles= FREE, Butter=FREE, Hamburger Helper was only 30 cents a box, the pasta was 77cents a box, the cake mix along with the icing(not pictured) was free, the brownie mix was 25 cents and I forget what the others were but all in all it was a good trip. Total I bought $157 worth of products and only paid $78. Thats almost 50% savings :)

I've got my circulars and coupons ready to begin this weeks shopping trip. But I've got a busy weekend ahead of me so that may wait until Monday, we'll see what I can squeeze in. ;) 

Until next time

Couponing! Pathmark trip 5/15

OK so I officially am crazy obsessed with couponing! I know I 'm not the only one that has seen the new show on TLC because almost everywhere I go I come across people that are talking about it. 
I started watching it the first week that we arrived in NY. It was Wednesday night and there were a bunch on before the new one. I was in our bedroom cleaning, organizing and getting things unpacked and I got glued to the TV. During the commercial I ran out to the den and told Sean about it, he wasn't too impressed but after the second commercial when I came running out telling him that someone got about $1800 worth of groceries for around $100 he had to see for himself and changed the channel :) I then had my MIL watching too and was determined to give it a try! 
Now I don't expect to save hundreds of dollars in one trip, but I have always loved to save, I mean who doesn't, so I have been clipping coupons alot more than I ever have in the past, and following blogs of other extreme couponers! I look forward to Wednesdays when I get a sneak peek at the sales, Thursdays when the weekly circulars come in the paper and Sunday when all the coupons come! It has been a little overwhelming but I've been figuring out a system that works for me! 


With such a huge change in our life, Sean getting out of the Army after 7 years, moving to NY, still owning a home in NC, and trying to raise our family, saving is even bigger on my list of things to do. It's always been a priority but now its an even bigger one. 
This past weekend Pathmark advertised that they would have TRIPLE coupons. BONUS! 
I got all of this for FREE :) 

4 Bottles of Ken's dressing
2 Bags of Lay's Kettle Cooked Chips
2 Bottles of FUZE
1 Herbal Essence Shampoo
1 Herbal Essence Conditioner
1 Country Crock Soft Spread Butter
2 Jars of Tostito Restaurant Style Salsa
1 Jar of Tostito Salsa Con Queso
1 Bag of Werther's Original
1 Lunchable with fruit

On top of getting all of that for FREE I got all of this discounted

Using other coupons, my pathmark card, and adding from zavers I got 2 bottles of apple juice at $2 each, 2 bags of Herr's tortilla chips 89 cents each, 4 boxes of pasta at 88 cents a piece, AIM toothpaste at 88 cents 2 cans of PAM at 74 cents each and 4 cans of tuna at 75 cents each. 

Great deals all around and I've still got a ton more coupons and planning :) 

I am going to try my best to document it all so I can continue to encourage myself and others of all the ways to save! Happy couponing :)
