Showing off my big Walmart haul

You know I don't go to Walmart unless I can help it. But, now that they are price matching Piggly Wiggly AND Target I have been there a little more frequently. I made such a trip to price match and get a few things that I had coupons for and I managed to save quite a bit and I wanted to share.

• 4 Oscar Mayer hot dogs ad match Pig $0.99 each, used $1/2 MQ = $0.49 each
• 3 Kraft ranch dressing ad match $0.99, used $0.55 MQ =0.44 each
• 2 Kraft american cheese slices ad match $0.99
• 3 Caprisun ad match $1.49
• 5 Wheat thins ad match $1.49, used $1 MQ/IP to get for $0.49 each
• 4 12pk Mt dew ad match 4/$9.96, used $2 MQ from Pierce's ad = $2 each 12 pk
• 6 8th continent soy milk $2.46, used $2 IP on each = $0.46 each
• 2 Hidden Valley ranch dressing $1.86, used $1 IP = $0.86 each
• 1 Sunbelt granola bars $1.86, used $0.55 IP = $1.31
• 4 Kraft 100 calorie pack cookies/snacks $2.50, used BOGO IP= all 4 for $5
• 3 Frigo string cheese $2.98, used $1 IP = $1.98 each
• 1 Angel soft toilet paper roll $2, used $1 MQ = $1
• 2 Pull ups flushable wipes $1.64, used $1 MQ = $0.64 each
• 3 Kraft 100 calorie cheese packs $2.16, used $1 MQ = $1.16 each
• 4 Tic Tacs $1.04, used 2 BOGO IP  = $2.08  for all 4 packs

My before coupon total was $86.01, but I was able to reduce it to $46.05!!!

I was able to use my normal budgeted grocery amount to pay for this and it left enough to pick up a few sale items at the store as well.

Share your good deals with me here and I will feature them on the blog! Hope you are having a happy holiday.

Another way to use that $2 MQ for Pepsi 12 packs!

In addition to using it at Piggly Wiggly (check out the previous post) you can also use it at Kmart this week to get cheap soda.

Kmart has 12 packs on sale for $3 each. When you buy four you also get a coupon for a free 12 pack on a future visit.

Scenario
buy (4) 12 packs for $12
use $2 MQ to = $10 plus tax
get coupon for a free 12 pack on future visit (my receipt said on June 1st )

Net is $2 each 12-pack after coupon and future free 12 packs!

Essentially the same price as Piggly Wiggly when you use the coupon,

NOTE: The coupon expires quickly so be sure to use it before it expires!

Happy shopping

Walgreens deal this week

I made a run to Walgreens (since a register reward was expiring) but didn't find too much that interested me in their ad this week. Maybe because my home stockpile is quite large!

Anyway, I did partake in one deal as follows:

Buy 1 Hershey 6 pk $3

Buy 1 Honey Maid Graham $3

Get 1 free Marshmallows (store deal)

Subtotal is $6, but use the $1 MQ from this past weekends paper to get all the makings for S'Mores for only $5! Sounded good to me!

Pierce's and internet coupons

I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet....

Pierce's now accepts internet coupons up to a $2 value! This is major since so many coupons are available over $1!!!

They still will not take any internet coupons that are for a free item, or a buy one/get one free item.

At least this is an improvement!
