UPDATE:  I just found the $4/4 Boxes coupon is still available HERE under zip code 30303!  GRAB IT IN A HURRY!!!

I have been in the middle of a home improvement project for the last two weeks but I wanted to stop and tell you about several great deals that started today at Marsh!

Hopefully you grabbed those $5/5 & $4/4 Kellogg’s coupons that have been around the last week!  Marsh has several of their Kellogg’s cereals 1/2 price this week.

Apple Jacks $1.79
Froot Loops $1.79
Cocoa Krispies $1.99
Frosted Flakes $1.69

Use the $5/5 & $4/4 coupon to score these at $.69 – $.99/box!  SUPER STOCK UP PRICES!!!

There are two deals that “stack” with these prices:

Look for the peelie coupons on the boxes of cereal for FREE M & Ms 9 – 12.6 oz wyb 2 Cocoa Krispies.  I bought 8 boxes of Cocoa Krispies and walked out with 4 FREE 12.6 oz bags of M & Ms!

There is also a peelie coupon for $1/1 gallon of milk wyb 3 Kellogg’s cereals.  Marsh milk is reg. priced this week at $3.05/gallon.  I used 4 coupons and got 4 gallons of milk for $2.05/gallon.  Not too shabby!

Finally:

There is a deal on Fruit Roll-ups!  Buy 4 get $4 off instantly!  They are $1.49/ea wyb 4 and I used 2 GM Insert coupons for $.50/2 that doubled to $1!  Final price was $.99/ea for 4 boxes! I got the 18 ct smaller roll-ups because they are bigger boxes when you look at the amount of ounces in each box!

TOTAL:  $46.44 for $190.14…That is a 76% savings!!!

**On a side note…the $5/5 coupon did give me a few fits and the cashier was a bit snippy with it.  She said that the coupon policy is that they will not take $5 coupons from the internet.  She checked with a manager and he took it with no problem.  I told her that not ONLY did the coupon policy on the companies corporate site say nothing about that (http://www.marsh.net/save/coupon-policy) but the coupon policy that they have posted in the store by the self check outs say nothing about that either.  In the end…it is GOOD to know your store’s policy and you should have no problems with the coupon!

Could not help myself!  Trip two turned out as good as trip one!

Got $182.04 worth of items for $39.16 oop!  Another 80% savings! Taking a break now!  Been at this since 5am!  Let me know what your savings have been!!

This is the good sale at Marsh and it is going on through the end of the day Saturday!  I am not going to break down my transaction but I will share my grand total!  I got all the things pictured in the four pictures above..all in ONE TRANSACTION!  The total before coupons was $580.57 (I will admit I was a bit shocked when I saw that number).  After coupons and Marsh card I paid ONLY $119.65! That was an 80% savings!

2 funny things about this transaction…my receipt was 8 feet long.  I have NEVER had a receipt that long before.  And…I had too many transactions for the register.  They had to finish my coupons at the service desk.  I was a bit embarrassed and giddy all in one.

**On top of all the instore savings…I earned another $1.90 in my SavingStar acct.  This is just extra money!!  If you don’t have your acct yet…GET IT HERE!

I headed out to Meijer and I found some super fantastic deals that I wanted to share with you!  We all know (hopefully) about the Turkey deal.  Spend $20 and get $16 off a big turkey (16lbs+) or $9 off a smaller turkey (10 – 15lbs).

I just got back from a VERY quick trip into Marsh to grab this deal!!!

Then, I used $.50/2 Fruit Roll-Ups coupons from the GM inserts.

I wanted to run to CVS to grab the Dove shampoo/conditioner deal (HERE) and I found so many other great deals!!!

Grand Total: I spent $4.87 for $66.43 worth of items!!  That is a savings of right at 93%!!!

My hubby is sick and refuses to use any other cough drop other than Ricola.  He is a TOTAL brand snob!  So I headed out to Walgreens to take advantage of the sale they have going on and found a great surprise!

Walgreens has an IVC for $.50/1 Ricola.  So…here is how my deal went:

Bought 3 Ricola Natural Herb $1.29, w/in-ad coupon

Grand Total: I spent $3.62 for $20.22 worth of items!!  These are items that I needed and will use in the next week or two.  That is a savings of 82%!!

I decided to run to Kroger because I was on a roll!  There I found some pretty good deals that are still available (until Wednesday evening in my area).

I did 2 of the Buy 10 items save $5 instantly deals:

I got 9 bottles of Simply Juices $.99/ea after instant savings and used 9 $1/1 printable coupons (no longer avail).  Those were FREE!

I got 1 box of Texas Toast $2.19 after instant savings and used a SS insert coupon for $.40/1 which doubled!

I got 2 bags of Solo Cups $1.49 after instant savings and used 2 $.75/1 printables.  Final Price: $.74/ea!

I got 5 Nestle Refridg. Cookies $1.99/ea after instant savings .  I used 3 $.75/1 SS insert coupons and 2 $.55/1 peelies.  Final Price: $1.32/ea!

I got 3 DiGiorno Large Pizzas $4.49/ea after instant savings and used 3 $1/1 SS insert coupons.  Final Price: $3.49/ea!

I got some things that were not included in the sale:

2 boxes of Trix Cereal on sale for $1.88 and I used 2 $1/1 coupons making each box only $.88!

I got 2 gallons of milk at $2.49/ea and used 2 $1/1 coupons from the giveaway a while back!

And then came the meat. I am asked CONSTANTLY how to save money on meat.  One of the ways that I do it is get it on the last “Sell By” date.  You either eat in within a couple of day or you freeze it.  Either way you are saving cash!!!

I was able to get 3 whole chickens for $2.33, $3.02 & $2.70.  The smallest one was over 4 lbs which is easily enough for a meal for my family of five.

I got a 4 pack of Ang Steak on sale for only $12.49.  The reg price was over $30 and we will have left over there was so much in the pack.

My GRAND TOTAL was $44.25 oop for $92.40 worth of food.  Which is only a savings of 52% but when almost half was meat that is a pretty good deal!!  So, I saved over 50% on my meat and over 50% on my total!

So I headed out to Marsh today to get the cereal deal for this week and I uncovered a couple of other things that were pretty good deals!

I did two of the GM Cereal deals (buy 4 save $4 instantly)…

I got 4 Chex Cereals $2.49/ea
I got 3  Cinnamon Toast Crunch $2.49/ea
I got 1 Fiber One 90 Cal Brownies $2.49

I used 2 Chex printables for $1.10/2 boxes
I used 1 GM printable for $1/3 boxes
I used 1 GM Insert for $.40/1 Fiber One (doubled to $.80)

Final Price for all 8 items after instant savings was $7.92 or $.99/ea!

While I was there I also got a few of the B1G1 FREE deals.  At my Marsh you can use a coupon on each item of a B1G1 FREE set so this worked out pretty nicely.

I got 2 Keebler Mutil Pack B1G1 FREE at $6.89 which is high for sure, but I used a $1/2 SS insert coupon and got each box for $2.95.  Not TOO bad.

I got 2 sets of Orville Redenbacher Popcorn B1G1 FREE at $3.49/set.  I used 2 $1/2 coupons and got each box for $1.25.

I got 2 sets of Hostess items B1G1 FREE at $4.29/set.  I used 4 $.50/1 coupons (which doubled to $1.00) and spent $1.15/ea box.  That was pretty good!

Finally I got a few single items.

Homemade Ice Cream on sale for $4.99 and I used a $.50/1 coupon that doubled.  Final Price: $3.99

Cheerios are on sale for $1.99 and I used a $.50/1 coupon that doubled.  Final Price: $.99

I got two boxes of Milk & Cereal Bars on sale for $1.99/ea and used 2 $.50/1 coupons that each doubled.  Final Price $.99/box!

So…My GRAND TOTAL for my trip to Marsh was $30.33 oop for $90.58 worth of food.  That was a 67% savings. All things considered that is not bad for the super expensive Marsh!

Well…I headed to Marsh.  There was NO ONE there hardly at all!  Which I love because I want to be able to take my time and not get in anyone’s way!  I took my hubby because I am still pretty sick and I wanted some help!  But…IT IS TRIPLE COUPONS!!!

So…I spent a total oop of $78.46 on $224.56 worth of items.  That is a savings of over 66%, which at Marsh is pretty good.  But…I got 5 lbs of ground beef, 1 lb of strawberries and a bag of salad…all without coupons which sort of killed my percentage!

Again…there are too many deals to list, but I do want to point out a couple of things that are not to miss…

The Kraft Salad Dressing is on sale for $2.00 and the bottles at my store all have a $.50/1 peelie on them.  Final price was only $.50/bottle!

Ball Park Hot Dogs are on sale B1G1 FREE at $3.69.  If you have the $.75/2 coupon from the SS Insert a few weeks back, you can get both packs for $1.44 or $.72/ea!

Quaker Chewy Granola Bars are on sale for $1.88/ea.  I used a $.75/2 coupon getting two boxes for $1.51 or $.76/ea!

Tutoso Pasta Sauce is on sale for $1.49.  There are $.75/2 coupons right in front of it on the shelf.  Final price for two was $.73 or $.37/ea!

Era Detergent is on sale for $2.99.  I used the $.50 SS Insert coupon from a few weeks ago and paid only $1.49/ea!

Degree Deodorant is reg price at $2.55.  I used the $.75/1 Red Plum coupon and paid only $.30/ea!

There were obviously more things that I got, but these were the highlights.  I would say that I am pretty happy with the deals that I got, but I am hoping they will include the $1 coupons again sometime soon!!

Good luck!!!  Let me know how you did!!!

My hubby and I headed out to CVS today to use my P&G coupons from last month…they expire today!  We ended up getting some REALLY good deals and my hubby was smiling pretty big when we left!!

We each got 2 of the Oral-B Spin Brushes that are on sale for $5.99 + $1 ECB.  Used a $3/1 coupon for each of them.  Final Price for all 4 was $9.64 (including tax)!

This week CVS has a deal if you buy an 8 pack+ of Duracell batteries you get a 10 pack of CVS batteries FREE!  So, we got an 8 pack and we got the CVS batteries but instead of getting a 10 pack of CVS batteries we got a pack that had 2 FREE batteries in it.  Making a total of 20 batteries.  The Duracells were $8.99 and I used the $.75/1 from this month’s P&G insert.  We used one of the $2 ECBs from the toothbrushes as well.  Making the Final Price for 20 batteries only $6.24!

Finally, I had gathered 3 Magic Coupon Machine printouts for $1/1 Orbit single pack (3 prints on 3 different days).  I got the clearanced ones that were only $1.17 so each pack was $.17!  I had two more FREE Pantene Product coupons from the give-a-way a while back.  I got two of those and actually earned a $1 ECB from the sale this week.  I got one gallon of milk for $3.19 and earned a $1 ECB.  I got 1 gallon of Swiss Sweet Tea on sale for $1.99.  I had a $.75 SS Insert coupon that I used.  I had the Magic Coupon Machine coupon for B1G1 FREE Starburst and used 2 $1/1 printables.  Both bags were $.50/ea.  And the LARGE jug of Cascade was on sale for $3.99.  I used LAST MONTH’S P&G coupon for $1/1.  I used $7 worth of ECBs for this transaction!  Final Price after all coupons and ECBs was ONLY $.23!

My GRAND TOTAL for my trip to CVS with my hubby was $17.61 for over $102 worth of products!  That is an 83% savings!!!  Not too shabby!!!

I headed out to CVS a little while ago to use my $5/2 Advil coupon!  They have Advil on sale this week, B1G1 50% off!  Here is the deal that I got:

Buy 2 Advil 24ct $3.99 & $1.99
Total = $5.98
Use the $5/2 coupon  here
Final Price: $.98 for BOTH!

Most of the time I try to ONLY post deals that you can get right as I am getting them.  This is NOT one of those deals.  I am posting this, however, to encourage you to keep at couponing when you want to quit!  Because, in reality, ANYONE could have done this deal you just needed to have collected the coupons that I had and had them organized to find them!  YIKES…that is the key!

I had a $5/$25 purchase coupon from last week’s Magic Coupon Machine scan as well as some ECBs from last week’s deals.  When I got to the store I scanned my card and got ANOTHER $5/$25 purchase coupon and several others that included a $1 off any Trident, Stride or Dentyne Multipack gum.

The biggest reason I was able to get this deal is because I signed up for the FREE product coupons that P&G gave away on their Facebook pages back at the end of June.

The coupons I got were:
2 FREE Herbal Essences product (up to $3.99)
1 FREE Aussie Product (up to $3.99)
2 FREE Pantene Product (up to $4.99)

Plus, I had a FREE Suave Body Wash coupon from a give-a-way they had about two months ago.  In addition to those…I had 6 FREE Seattle’s Best Coffee coupons from the SS Insert a while back, and a rain check for the Soft Soap deal from two weeks ago.  Put all of that together into two transactions and this is how it all went down:

Transaction #1:

My GRAND TOTAL oop was $8.44 but I earned $7 in ECBs for a net total of $1.44 for $76.72 worth of items!  That is a savings of over 98%!  LOVE IT!!!

**One thing to note…had I split up my Aussie and Herbal Essences purchases I would have earned an additional $1 ECB, but I simply was not paying attention!  Oh Well!

I ran to Walgreens a little while ago to get two of the deals for this week!  I did three separate transactions so that I could get the Listerine RR for each bottle I purchased!

Final OOP after all RR…$.95 (I used $4 worth of RR from last week and earned $6 in RR for the Smart Rinse)

I ran into Kroger today to grab the FREE milk deal and I noticed that the prices at my Kroger are exceptionally high right now.  I am hoping that this is not the trend for Kroger.  Anyway…I did find some good deals while I was there!  Are you noticing that your Kroger prices are increasing too?

My GRAND TOTAL was $39.03 oop for $92.90 worth of items!  There are still many deals that I did not get at Target that I will probably venture back for later in the week!  Like the FREE photos and $.50 pillows!

So…yesterday I ran to CVS to grab the $.10 folders that are on sale this week and got two GREAT deals from the Magic Coupon Machine!  The first was for a FREE Divine Belgian Chocolate Bar up to $2.29.  That made for a totally FREE candy bar that was big enough for two boys to eat!  Kept them happy!

The second was just a normal $5/$25 purchase coupon.  We have all seen these and probably all used these from time to time.  Here is how I used mine!

I purchased 10 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal on sale this week for $2.50/ea.  I used my $5/$25 purchase coupon PLUS I used 2 of the $5/5 boxes Kellogg’s coupons that were available last week!  I paid a total of $10 oop for 10 boxes of cereal.  That is GREAT…because $1/box is my limit for cereal.  BUT…CVS has an ECB deal this week…Buy 2 boxes of Kellogg’s Cereal and get $1 ECB back.  Because you can only do this deal once this week I only got back $1…but that made the final price for my cereal $.90/ea!  WOOHOO!!!

As if that was not good enough…One of the boxes had a code for the Cars2 promo going on right now and I needed one more code to get my $5 Concession Cash bonus.  So…I was able to get that deal as well!  All in all I was stoked with my trip to CVS.  But now I have a funny looking box of cereal in my pantry!  I told the kids they had to eat that one first!

I headed out to CVS this afternoon because I wanted to stock up on the $.69 Coke 2-liters!  That is just a great deal!!!  While I was there I visited the Magic Coupon Machine!  I was a lucky recipient of the FREE Hershey Air Delight coupon AND the $2/1 Skittles coupon…so I decided to grab a few other deals while I was there!  Here is how my trip went:

Got 5 (that is the limit) 2-liters – $.69/ea

Got 2 Joy Ice Cream Cups – $1.00/ea (which was the sale price at Walmart)
Used 2 $.55/1 printables (no longer available)
Final Price: $.45/ea

Got 1 Hershey Air Delight Candy Bar
Used the FREE coupon from the Magic Coupon Machine (got today)
Final Price: FREE

Then I decided that I would do the Gas Card deal for this week because I had some great coupons to go with it!  When you buy $30 worth of specific items you get a $10 gas card IMMEDIATELY!  This is how I got mine:

Got 2 8-pack Bounty Basics on sale for $5.99
Used 2 $1.00/1 manu coupons from the SS insert a few weeks ago
Final Price: $4.99/ea

Got 2 Pantene Products on sale for 2/$6.97

My Gas Card total came to $18.44 and then I earn a $10 BP Gas Card!  I could have chosen a Shell card or another one (I wasn’t paying attention very well)!

So…My GRAND TOTAL for this stop was $24.68 OOP for $64.36 worth of items.  After you factor in the $10 Gas Card…that is a savings of almost 78%!  Not too shabby!!!

**One thing to note about this trip…ALL of my printables that I used to get the GREAT deals are no longer available!  If you see a printable that comes across for something that your family would use…GRAB IT!  Chances are it will no longer be available when the GREAT deals come around!  Keep it in your binder and wait to use it on a sale!

I love late night shopping!  It is a much more peaceful event for me!  Last night I headed out to CVS to get some of the deals from this week.  I did three transactions so that I could use all the ECBs that I was going to earn!  This is how it worked:
