Deals of the week @ Pats (June 30-July 6)
Pat's has some good deals with in-store coupons this ad cycle.
I have found on ebay (seller is kandjadams) manufacturer's coupons for them that make them even better deals.
So here's how deal deals break down:
Oscar Mayer Weiners are on sale for 2 for $3.
There is an in-store coupon for $1 off of 2, making them $1 each.
The manufacturer's coupon is $1 off of 2, making them $.50 each!
(Note if Pat's were to do double coupons like they show on Extreme Coupon, this product would be FREE!)
Kraft Mayo or Miracle Whip is on sale for $2.99.
There is an in-store coupon for $1 off of 1, making them $1.99 each.
The manufacturer's coupon is $1 off of 1, making them $.99 each!
(Note if Pat's were to do double coupons this product would be more than FREE, you'd get a credit of $.01 towards the rest of your grocery order. At afullcup.com they call this a money maker. Please see note at the end of this post.)
Kraft Singles are on sale 2 for $4.
There is an in-store coupon for $1 off of 2, making them $2 each.
The manufacturer's coupon is for $1 off of 2, making them $1 each!
(Once again, if Pat's were to do double coupons, this items would be FREE!)
Note regarding Money Making Coupons. I don't personally agree with this policy. I think that items should only be free, not make you money. Some where along the line someone is loosing out when a customer makes money on a coupon. I know most die hard couponers depend on money makers to make their total order as low as possible. I know if some extreme couponers were to know how I feel, they would consider me a traitor b/c I'm against this policy.

Deals of the week @ Pat's (June 23-29)
Select GM cereals are 4/$10.
There as an In Store coupon of $4 off the purchase of four boxes that brings the cost down to $6.
Today I used $1 off two boxes manufacture's coupon and ended up paying $10 for 8 boxes!
What a sweet deal, a $20.16 savings!
Pat's also has Arrid and Arm & Hammer deodorant 2 for $3. I don't have any coupons, but that's a good deal too, they're on sale for 1/2 price.
So today I paid $20.79 and saved $29.64.

Okay, it's been almost a month since I've posted anything here.
I've gotten a lot of good savings.
I paid $510.92 for $894.80 worth of merchandise.
That's a 43% savings, or 383.88 worth of savings!
In that $510.92 I've included gas for the truck, ink for the printer, groceries at regular price, the good the bad and the ugly.
My favorite savings include the following:
Walmart had Kool Aid packets for sale at $.20 each. I had two different coupons. One was $.50 off the purchase of 5, the other was buy 10 get 2 free. I was able to combine the coupons and paid $1 for 12 packages off Kool Aid! I only had enough coupons to buy 72 packages, but they will last a good long time. (Jeremy can easily drink 1-2 packages a day, so this was a HUGE deal!)
My others include cereal. I've found multiple deals where I've paid from $1 to $1.75 a box. Not the best for diabetics, but I can eat them, so at least it's feeding one of us.
