HisHersMoney

For those of you who use coupons you can imagine how nice it would be if your grocery store tripled them. Well that’s exactly what our store did this past weekend. Every once in awhile, maybe every two months or so, our grocery store will offer triple coupons for all coupons under $1.00. They limit each customer to 20 coupons so sometimes Him and I have to each go through the line separately. This was the case this past weekend.

Every week when I go through the coupons I cut out those coupons that are for things that we buy all the time but I also snag the ones that are for things that I would buy during triple coupon weekend because I can get the items dirt cheap. The best deal is when we find the $.75 coupons on things like granola bars, salad dressings and condiments, etc.

Things we got:

Chex Granola Bars, on sale 2/$5 with $.75 off coupons on each of them so they were $0.25 each.

Regular mustard and honey mustards for about $0.09 each. We don’t need more than one of these items so we will drop the extras in the next food donation bin that we are asked to donate to.

Barilla pasta and sauce, the pasta was about $0.10 each and the sauce was about $0.75 each and we got three of each.

We also got a couple things of cat litter, dishwasher detergent, Zip Stream Bags, Mayo, salad dressing, Pepperidge Farms snack crackers, deli cheese, snacks, rolls, coffee creamer, beer, four different kinds of rice mixes, and the list goes on. Our pantry is definitely stocked now!

We ended up with receipts that exceeded two and a half feet long! Here’s the break down:

Receipt #1 Total owed: $46.74, coupons savings of $41.94 and sales savings of $16.55

Receipt #2 Total owed: $32.59, coupon savings of $46.18 and sales savings of $22.64

That’s a savings of $127.31!!!
