Caselot Happiness

I ran to Macey's last night to snag a few lunchmeat specials since I landed 7 coupons (Q's) for $1 off Buddig lunchmeat and it was on sale for $1.47 until 10/5 - so I had to go and buy 7 packages (or 3.5 lbs) and spend less than $3.50 total :) That was the first happy!

Then, I counted up my soup coupons because it seems like we've been getting a lot. I am never too crazy about the $.40 off 4 cans of soup, but it adds up. I bought 19 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup (because that is the number that came up when I added all the coupons together AND Macey's doesn't make you buy the whole case and you can still get the same good deal) and 45 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup and walla! I saved $14.60 just in coupons for these items. So, where you can spend over $1 per Cream Soup (Campbell's, especially), I got a total of 64 cans of soup for $.45 a piece - which is $.03 less than the Western Family brand. So, if I had just bought the Western Family brand, I would have spent $2 more than what I spent on the top brand :) Yes, I am still happy and my DH is happier because he's not a Western Family fan when it comes to his soups! :)

The Buddig Lunch Meat deal is over, but Macey's still has soups on sale for another few weeks. You can find the soup printables at Coupons.com (I think), I also think I got onto Campbell's website - I didn't track these as well. These are Great coupons - you can get $1.50 off 3 with them, but can only print 2 times a piece. But with these combined with 8+ $.40/2 or $.40/4, it adds up. These can be found in the last month of the Smart Source coupons. I have started going through my coupon books and cutting out the Q's that I think I will use or are GREAT deals and keeping them in my binder with my printables and leftovers that I didn't use in the store. That way, if I am at a store and see a deal, I don't have to wish I had my whole Q File Cabinet with me. Try it, maybe you'll like it too :)

Walgreens 101

I have learned one thing about couponing - START SMALL because your first purchase at a new store will inevitably cost more than you planned and will not work out perfectly as planned. My usual phrase continues to apply: Expect the Best, Prepare for the Worst, and Take What Comes (but not without checking carefully and defending what you know is right!)

I went to Walgreens today and did my first really "big" buy. I have been hesitant to try out Walgreens because I have heard their rules are a bit strict and by the time I get up to go, I have spent my money for the week. So, this week, I allotted $10 to Walgreens to try it out. Here's some lessons I learned:

1- Check your RR. If there's more than 1 product listed in the same RR grouping, you can only get 1 at a time and that RR cannot be applied to a purchase of that product again.
For Example: I wanted to buy 2 Tilex and 2 Clorox Wipes, but they were in the same "RR Grouping" that said if you bought 2 of these items, you'd get $2 RR. So, since they were in the same transaction I only got $2 back and not $4 because they were in the same transaction. Resolution: Only buy 1 set of each RR grouping in a transaction.
Second Example: I tried to then by some Clorox Toilet Cleaner (also in the same group) and couldn't get another RR because I used the RR to pay for it - luckily the manager was very nice and reversed that order for me. Resolution: Watch your RR rewards and use a different grouping of RR to pay for this (I used the RR from Cloros to pay for Vicks, then used Vicks' RR to pay for Clorox) More transactions, but you save more.

2- Each coupon must attach to its own item (and RR's count as a coupon).
For example: I tried to buy Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray that was priced at $6 and wanted to use both a $4 coupon and $2 in RR, but I could not do this because there was only 1 item and 2 coupons. Resolution: Buy an extra 50 cent item, or an item that you had to buy anyway (as long as the cost would be the same or nearly the same in a different store - like milk, eggs, etc.) or another item that would be free with the RR you receive back.
Second Example: I tried to buy 2 Clorox Toilet Cleaners with a $1/2 coupon (so it attaches to 2 items) and use a $2 RR, but could not because that would be 3 coupons for 2 items. Resolution: Buy an extra 50 cent item, or an item that you had to buy anyway (as long as the cost would be the same or nearly the same in a different store - like milk, eggs, etc.) or another item that would be free with the RR you receive back.

3. Your purchase has to exceed the coupon price and cannot cover taxes.
For example: If I had an item that I wanted to buy that cost $1.99, but had a coupon for $2 off that item, I could not buy it until I found something else that cost at least $.01 PLUS TAX (so another $.14 in Utah) in order to use the coupon. Resolution: I found some lipstick or treats to buy for about 50 cents to be able to use the coupons and get the savings (I figure I'll use them as stocking stuffers in a few months)

So, here's my final take-home purchase report from Walgreens. Hopefully it helps someone else learn and save.

Transaction #1 (They wouldn't let me take this one back so I lost $2 of my dollars I planned on using)

2 Clorox Wipes ($5/2 Sale)
2 Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner ($5/2 Sale)
2 Clorox Wipes Coupons ($1 off each Printable)
1 Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner Coupon ($1 off Printable)

OOP = 7.68, PLUS $2 in RR (should be $4, but in the same grouping as explained above)

Transaction #2 (Really it was my 3rd or 4th Transaction but the others were voided after me asking why it didn't work the way I planned)

1 Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray ($6 sale)
1 Lipstick (50% off $1 = $.49)
-$4/1 Sinex from newspaper Q's
-$2 RR from above transaction

OOP = $.93 Plus $2 in RR

Transaction #3
2 Tilex Mold & Mildew Cleaner ($5/2)
1 Lip Balm (50% off $1 = $.49)
-($1/2 Q from newspaper)
-$2 RR from above transaction

OOP = $2.87 Plus $2 in RR

TOTAL OOP = $11.48
Before Coupons, RRs & Sales = $35.78
Savings = $24.30 or 66% If I had been able to do it my way, I would have spent the same, but saved $30.97 & 73% and received 2 more Toilet Bowl Cleaners! but oh well, still a great deal!)
9 items averaging $1.28 each (would have been $1.04 if I had been able to follow the rules a bit better).

Sometimes a little hard luck helps us learn well!

Don't Buy Stuff You Can't Afford

My church showed this video at a weekly activity a month or so ago. It was hilarious, but I find myself having to remind myself about it all the time.

I hope you enjoy it!
