First Trip Couponing

It is a small trip because I do not have lots of money, but I had $28.00 and I was going to try to get all the stuff on my list that I need. This is what I did before hand:

  • I went through all the ads of grocery stores and pharmacies that I want to go to and compared to coupons. (Took me FOREVER, lucky for you I will post everything that I found for you guys to make it easier!)
  • I made a list of the coupons I had and where they could be used.
  • Made a list of what I NEEDED right now and the cost after coupon.
  • Got together all the coupons that I NEED for this trip, my shopping list and my money and put in an envelope.
Well I fell like I did pretty well. Here are the deals that I got.

CVS
B1G1 Gatorade and they are 10/$10 so I got 2/$1
Herbashine is on sale for $5.99 and I had a $2.00 off q

Kroger
SunnyD is 10/$10, I had .25 q they tripled, so I paid $.25
Digorno Pizza is $4.99 I had $4 q, paid $.99
Bread w/ Cheese from Bakery, $1.29 instead of $3.50

Tom Thumb
Jose Ole $3.99 had $1 q, paid $2.99 for 20 oz
Reduced Jimmy Dean was .99/1, $2/2 q, FREE!
Reduced Deli Creations were $.99 each
18 ct eggs were on overstock clearance for $1.49

I got other items as well, but these are the deals that I got. My sister went with me and she banked on the 10/10 at CVS and Kroger! She got me some stuff as well, because the deals were just too good. But with the $28.00 I took with me to go shopping I managed to get all the things on my list!

I feel like I did really well. I calculated that I had got 17 items, including what was bought for me, and nothing was more than $2.41/ item, and I got ground beef and frozen chicken breasts! This is the best that I have done grocery shopping.

  1. Tom Thumb is the best for finding dairy cheap... we used to go a lot. Kroger on sunday EARLY morning always has reduced meat as well.

  2. Well I really was in there for the few things that I got, and since there is no A/C in the car that I was in, I was in a hurry! LOL!

  3. I just might have to remain anonymous. Here is what I have found....1)Tom Thumb has reduced dairy (I buy on Tuesdays)
    2) 99cent Store has produce truck every Monday night. Tuesdays are stocked with FABULOUS vegetables, bagged salads, fruits. Yesterday, I bought 1 Gal. of Minute Maid OJ, Lean Cuisine frozen dinners, strawberries, red peppers and broccoli...all for 99 cents. If you eBay or resell...check them out for other items-I bought L'eggs shapers there and sold all 35, with people emailing me for more. Come with me this next Tuesday!
