A good week indeed!

FREE!
This was a GREAT week in grocery shopping - I got everything in the picture above for Free!  You read it right, FREE!  The grocery sales and coupons all synced up for some amazing freebies, here's how it worked.
  • Lawry's Taco Seasoning: On sale for $.50 - $.50 coupon for 2 packets = Free. I had 4 coupons because I get 4 Sunday Papers so I got 8 packets for Free.
  • Nivea Body Wash: On sale for $3.99 - $4 off coupon = Free. I had 4 of these coupons so I got 4 bottles for Free.
  • Bugles Chips: On sale for a $1 - $.50 coupon which is multiplied to a $1 off b/c the store is multiplying coupons = Free.  I had 4 coupons so I got 4 bags for Free.
  • Chex Mix: On sale for $1 - $.50 coupon multiplied to a $1 off = Free.  I had 8 of these coupons so I got 8 bags for Free.
  • Valley Fresh Steamers: On sale for a $1 - $.40 coupon which was multipied to a $1 = Free.  I had 4 coupons so I got 4 bags for Free.  Only 2 bags are pictured b/c we already ate 2 bags!
  • Suddenly Pasta Salad: On sale for a $1 - $.40 coupon multiplied to a $1 off = Free.  I only 1 coupon printed from the internet.
  • Cover Girl Eye Liner & Eye Shadow: 
    • Eye Liner: On sale for $1.09
    • Eye Shadow: On sale for $1.24
    • I had a $2.50 coupon for 2 Cover Girl products. ($1.09 + $1.24) - $2.50 = $.17 credit
    • I had 4 of these coupons so it was a $.17 credit x 4 = .68 credit
    • There was also a store promotion, get $4 off your final bill if you buy any 4 Cover Girl products
    • The total taken from my final bill was $4.68.

I also got these 3 cake mixes for free b/c one of the grocery stores ran this promotion: Buy 2 Betty Crocker Cake mixes and get 3 cake mixes for Free!  I used a $1 off  (1) Betty Crocker cake mix + (1) frosting coupon and got these 3 cake mixes for Free.

As I stated this was a good week!

This was last week's freebies...
  • Snuggle Dryer Sheets: On sale for $2.99 - $3 off coupon = Free.
  • Flipz Pretzels: On sale for $ 1.00 - $.50 coupon, multiplied to a $1 = Free.
That was it for last week, not the quantity of items as this week.  This week was like hitting the mother load!
