Gabe was so sweet this morning to stay home with the girls and allow me a couple of shopping hours to myself. I asked him because I knew there were some really good deals out there, but I needed to be able to think to make it work the best. And work it did! It was even better because I was able to pray before I left home-- I normally intend to do this, but so often am distracted by the two little voices in the back seat.
My first stop was Albertsons. I knew they had a great deal going on where if you buy 10 GM cereals/products for $20, then you got another $10 off. And I had coupons for all! Total I bought 2 Golden Grahams, 1 Kix, 1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 2 Fruity Cheerios, 2 boxes Nature Valley granola bars, and 2 boxes PopSecret Popcorn for $5.20.
Also, when I walk in the door, I normally scan the papers they post because I do not get them in the mail. I spotted a 3/$9 or B3G1 free for CoffeeMate creamer-- Because I didn't understand it, I asked the cashier to ring up my creamers seperate so I could see what deal it did. Turns out the paper was from last week, but they needed to honor it (their words) so instead of making it work 3/$9, they just gave me 3 for the price of 2, which was $7.58!!! Thank you Lord!
Then I went to Walgreens to try the P&G Register Rewards. (see this weekends ads for Walgreens) I ended up with 2 Magic Erasers, 2 bottles Cascade dishwasher gel (.25/1 cpn), 2 Crest Pro-health toothpastes (using $3/2 ES coupon) and three Charmin Easywipes (cpn $1.99 in -ad) and a box of To-Go ice tea pouches for a total of $20.40-- and I received back $20 in RR! Yeah!
Then I stopped at Fred Meyer because I forgot to grab salsa at Albie's....and remembered they had chicken breasts for $1.79/lb... so I grabbed two bags of that and also a Purex laundry soap because I had one more $1/1 cpn, and they were on sale for $2.50 :-)
Plus! I stopped to get apples from the Stemilt store (because they are the cheapest there!) and they were having a moving sale -- all apples were $.69/lb!
Thank you Lord, for your blessings. You stretched my dollars today farther than I had even hoped.
