1-1-12 Walgreens Couponing Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on January 1, 2012 None comments

I did really well at Walgreens this morning. I spent $6.45 and saved $44.57. We needed toilet paper and when I have to buy it I like to see how much I can get for the $5 I already plan on spending on a needed item. However, this wasn’t one of those easy savings days, this morning I really had to work for it. I’m a little bit sick which probably really slowed me down. I did 5 transactions one or two at a time then reevaluated the coupons I had for the next transaction so that I could save the most. We all know Walgreens limits the number of manufacture coupons (including their register rewards) to one per item in your transaction so you usually need a filler item such as the candle .20¢, hand cream .49¢, or candy .25¢. I also used the dawn .49¢ after coupons and Canned oranges .69¢ after coupons as filler items because I wanted to buy them anyway.

(2) Buy 2 Triaminic Kids Pain Reliever, on sale 2/$10
Use two $3/1 Triaminic Fever Reducer Pain Reliever manufacturer coupon, 12/4 SS
and use the $1/1 Triaminic coupon in the Walgreens January coupon book (Note- I was able to use this coupon for $1 off but it is really for the 2 pack Triaminic so it will beep and will not subtract the $2 off that a lot of couponing sites are claiming it will)
Price after coupons- $3 and receive $5 RR

(2) Madam Mandarin Orange, 11 oz, 59¢ w/in-ad coupon
Price after coupons- $.59 each

(2) Real Soft Bathroom Tissue, 12 double rolls, or Tuf Paper Towels, 8 rolls, 2 for $8 w/in-ad coupon
Price after coupons- $4 each

(2) $2 RR WYB Muscletech Smart Protein Bar, 2.2 oz, at $1.99
Price- $1.99 each and receive $2 RR each

(2) Dawn Dish Soap .99 w/ in ad coupon
– Used .50 off Dawn coupon from the 1/1 PG
Price after coupons- $.49 each

(1) $4 RR WYB Gillette Venus or Fusion ProGlide Razor System at $9.99
-$5 off Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor, PG 1/01
Price after coupons- $5 and receive $4 RR
Note- This came with a free shave gel

Filler items-
Candle .20¢
Hand cream .49¢
Candy .25¢

The reason I did 5 transactions was because I continued to use the register rewards from each transaction towards my next transaction to keep my price as low as possible. This is time consuming because you have to do the math and use filler items.

Spent $6.45

Saved $44.57

12-30-11 Publix Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on January 1, 2012 None comments

I got some really great deals at Publix during this trip. I spent around $6 and saved around $56. I almost never buy paper products; however these cups were so cheap I couldn’t resist. I’m thinking they will be nice to have the next time we have a party or get together. Right after the shopping trip, we went out of town for a few days which is why I wasn’t able to post it sooner. I’m going to go ahead and refer to another blogger who has listed the deals because they end 1/3 or 1/4 depending on where you live. Couponaholic.net has a full listing of deals for this week HERE.

Edit- The KY will still be free with the $3 off coupon but the overage should not have worked because as several readers have now pointed out, the KY coupon in the Publix flyer is also a manufacture coupon. I wouldn’t have used it but I didn’t notice and no one said anything.

Total After Coupons-$4.78
Tax- $1.78
Grand Total- $6.56
Saved- $67.57

Note- My mother needed toilet paper so we added it to the transaction so that we wouldn’t go into the negative at the register (I try never to do that because it makes stores mad and I can always use the overage on something else I need) but the overages basically paid for everything beside that. My mother gave me $6 for the Tp so really all I was out was .56 cents!

What I Got With My Free $10 at Victoria Secret

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on December 19, 2011 None comments

There are some companies that it can be beneficial to be on their mailing list. One of them is Victoria Secret. I was recently mailed a coupon for $10 off a purchase at their store which to me equals A FREE TEN DOLLAR GIFT CERTIFICATE! I picked out 3 for $5 hand sanitizer and 2 for $5 mints which is more than I would ever pay otherwise. My total was exactly $10 and after the coupon I didn’t even have to pay a cent. They handed me my receipt and I left the store with more stocking stuffers!

We went to CVS last night to use our mars candy coupons and some ECBs. We ended up paying about $1 for all of this stuff which would have been almost free but I bought the Slim Jim pack as a stocking stuff for $1 because I thought I needed a filler item. The M&Ms were B2G1 and we used-

12-13-11 Current Free and Moneymaker / Overage Deals at Publix

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on December 13, 2011 None comments

With Christmas approaching, all of us are looking for ways to save a little extra money. Here is a list of Free and Moneymaker/Overage items at Publix. Moneymaker/Overage is when the value of the coupon(s) is higher than the value of the item you are buying and the store allows you to use the extra balance towards the rest of your purchase. Publix allows customers to do this as stated in their coupon policy. It can really help you save money on items that don’t often have coupons like milk.

Note- The $10 off coupons create the highest overage but are the hardest to acquire. This is such a great deal because each pack you buy comes with another $7 off coupon so you can use it to get another pack of trial size whitestrips for free with an overage.
