Using Up End Of Month Coupons!

With this being the last day of the month, many of my coupons expire today.  I am not going to buy something just because the coupon expires today, but items I do buy...well, I'd hate for that coupon to expire before I can use it.

So here's how I used a few of my end of month coupons.


Kroger
(3) boxes of Skinny Cow Dark Chocolate Dreamy Clusters - $1.89 each (The boxes were damaged, so the price was reduced - yeah for me!)
(2) Bumble Bee Premium Light Tuna Pouches - $1.33 each

Used these coupons:
(2) -$1 Skinny Cow boxed candy, RP 7/31
(1) -$1 Skinny Cow boxed candy, All You Magazine, June 2011 (exp. 8/31)
(2) -$.50 Bumble Bee Premium Light Tuna Pouches (Catalina coupons)

After coupons, paid:
$.89 for each box of Skinny Cow - regular price is $2.99
$.33 for each pouch of Bumble Bee tuna because the $.50 coupon doubled to $1 since I was at Kroger!


CVS
Dawn dish detergent - $.99
(2) Oral-B Satin Floss - $1.99 each
Always Pantiliners, 20 ct. - $1.57

subtotal = $6.54

Used these coupons:
-$.50 off Dawn detergent, PG 7/31 (exp. 8/31)
(2) -$.75 off Oral-B Floss, PG 7/31 (exp. 8/31)
-$1.57 FREE Always Pantiliners, 20 ct. (up to $1.77 value) CVS store coupon from the magic coupon machine
-$3 ECB from previous week

Total out of pocket was -$.03 + tax AND I got $2 ECB from the two packs of Oral-B floss to use next time!  Year to date savings at CVS = $764.99!!

Walmart
Domino Organic Agave Nectar, 23.5 oz - $5.94

Used this coupon:
-$1 off Domino Organic Agave Nectar, All You Magazine, July 2011 (exp. 8/31)

High Value Old Orchard Naturals Coupon on Facebook!

Head on over to the Hy-Vee, Inc Facebook page and "like" them.  Then you can print a $2 off Old Orchard Naturals Juice Drink coupon!  Don't forget to hit your "back" button to print two!

This is a manufacturer's coupon and should be accepted anywhere.  On the coupon it does say "Redeem at Hy-Vee" but don't let that throw you off!

Maxing Out Office Max!

Today I ran into an Office Max store and grabbed their sales flyer.  Deeply discounted merchandise on the front of any sales flyer is considered a "loss leader" meaning these items are used to "lead" you in to the store and they are willing to take a "loss" on the items just to get you in the door!

Their hope is while you're in the store you'll buy something else in addition to the loss leaders to make up for the lost profit.  I don't play like that.  I just go in, purchase the loss leaders and quickly get out!  So here's what I got with regular prices in parenthesis:

• (2) SCHOOLIO Colored Pencils, 12-pack $.01each ($1.99) = $.02
• (3) Office Max Clear Zippered Binder Pockets $.25 each ($.59) = $.75
• (3) Sharpie Singles $.25 each ($1.79) = $.75

Out of pocket = $1.52 + tax
Merchandise value = $11.12
That's an 86% savings!

FREE Chick-fil-A Breakfast!

Chick-fil-A is giving away FREE breakfast September 6-10 (next Tuesday-Saturday).  You're probably thinking "free food = a madhouse at Chick-fil-A and NO THANK YOU!" 

The last time they ran this promotion we participated and it went VERY SMOOTHLY!  Here's why: 

• The event is spread out over 5 days, instead of one crazy day
• Its your choice which location you want to go to
• You have to "reserve" your time slot of when you are coming for breakfast, so not everyone ends up there at the same time (for example: 8:30am - 9:30am)
• During your "reservation", you indicate the breakfast item you want, so the restaurant knows how to plan and properly stock so they don't run out

They began taking online reservations yesterday Monday, August 29 but it's not too late!  After you make your "reservation" online, they'll email your confirmation to you.  Print the confirmation and bring it with you  the day you signed up for.  They also want you to bring picture ID, but I wasn't asked for mine last time.  YMMV!

Office Depot Deals!

Ok, so I've admitted to LOVING the office supply stores, especially during the "back to school" time of year!  Great sales!

Yesterday I spent $1.05 at Office Depot and here's what I walked out of the store with:

• 5 pencil boxes (item #100325) at $.01 each, normally $.79 each

• 1 pair of Fiskars student 7" scissors (item #502351) for $1, normally $4.69

They also had Papermate Sharp Writer mechanical pencils (12 pack) for $1, which is also a GREAT DEAL!

Stock up now before these "back to school" sales are gone!
