This
week I had my coupons ready to use at Walgreens. It was a deal I found at momsbyheart.net:
Kotex Pantiliners 64 ct. $3.79, B1G1 50% off
= 2/$5.69
Earn $2 RR
-$2/2 Kotex printable
Final Price: $0.85 each

My Walgreens ended up being out of them but today I was in
Kroger (not my usual grocery store) getting some milk and saw a container with
Kotex liners on sale for $1. I grab 2
boxes so I could use the coupon I had in my purse—thinking they would be
free. Well, it ended up Kroger had the
same catalina deal (like Walgreens RR) and I made $2 on the 2 boxes. I ended up going back home and printing some
more coupons and also finding some $1/1 coupons, too. Due to this unexpected deal, by the end of the
day this is what I bought:
2 Containers of Milk (Reg.$3.99, Sale $2.97)
1 Wheat French Loaf (Reg. $1.99, Sale $.99)
2 Loaves of Wheat Sandwich Bread (Reg. $3.99, Sale $2.99)
28 Boxes of Kotex Liners 22 ct (Reg. $1.49, Sale $1)
16 Boxes of Kotex Liners 14 ct (Reg. $1.49, Sale $1)
1 Bag of Flour ($1.77)
1 Pkg of Chicken Thighs (Reg. $7.62, Sale $5.43)
1 Oikos Greek Yogurt (Reg. $1.29, Sale $1)
I ended up spending $1.15
(pre-tax) but with an additional 13 $2 catalinas off your next purchases, so
bottom line I walked out after paying the little I did with $26. This means minus my payment I ended up making
$24.85 (pre-tax). There was a little
work—I had to do a lot of separate orders to earn the catalinas and use them on
my other items. It was the time of day
there weren’t many customers and it only took 30 minutes so I think it was
worth it. The total cost of these items
purchased at regular price with no coupons would have been $91.21 (pre-tax) and
I ended up making $24.85 instead paying.
WOW!!!
With
all I got I made some homemade mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, yogurt and a
delish simple dinner. The yogurt will
last the family for at least a week for breakfasts and frozen yogurt pops. We had a delish free dinner tonight and I will
figure out something to make using the fresh ricotta cheese. Below is my FREE dinner:
Caprese
Salad (homegrown tomatoes & basil, homemade mozzarella cheese from milk)
Green
Beans—homegrown
Chicken
Thighs-free from deal
Hope
you accidentally (or on purpose) find some great deals this week.
