My first Fry’s trip!
Posted in: Kroger, The Brag Lounge // Comments (1)
I didn’t know who else to share this with. My boyfriend is “supportive” of my couponing, but is still adjusting. I’ve been couponing for almost 2 weeks now. My trips so far: 1 Safeway, 1 Basha’s. 1 Albertson’s, and 1 Fry’s trip. I can’t get over the deal I worked at Fry’s…it’s the best one yet.
Each trip I get a better deal and have saved for than I’ve spent on my last 2 trips. Today was my first Free product and Money Maker.
I bought:
5 bags Goldfish 10 for $10
1 loaf Sara Lee Honey Wheat bread $1.99 + $0.55/1 = $1.44
1 – 5lb bag Gala apples $3.99
3 boxes Hamburger Helper 10 for $10 + $1/3 = 3 boxes for $2
1 gallon milk $2. (normally I never buy milk unless it’s under $1.75, but we needed it)
6 twins packs of GUM toothbrushes (12 brushes total) 10 for $10 + $1/2 x3 = 12 toother brushes for $3
1 Jenni-O turkey 14.5lbs > $0.59/lb with $25 minimum purchase = $8.49
Crest Toothpaste 10 for $10 + $0.75/1 x2 + $2/1 = -$0.50 (my first moneymaker coupon use!)
**Buy 10 Save $5**
3 – 128ct boxes of Kleenex $0.99/ea + $0.25/3 > doubled to $1 = 3 boxes for $2
1 box Capri Sun $1.49
5 can Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup $0.49/ea + $0.40/2 > doubled to $1 + $0.40/3 > doubled to $1 = 5 cans for $0.50!!
1 tub Cool Whip $1.49 + $0.75/1 Season Delights (FB) = $0.74
Total before store discounts and coupons $98. I saved $68 and only paid $30 for everything!!
I’m so excited! Thanks to The Kraz Coupon Lady for your coupon binder organizer and step by step start couponing info.
