The Help Meet Wife

Did a quick trip to Albertsons tonight! They are running one of my favorite sales, buy 10 selected items, get $5 off. Of course I always pick items I have coupons for! :) Today I bought: -4 jars Ragu pasta sauce @ 49¢ ea. -2 jars Skippy peanut butter @ 99¢ ea. -2 Wishbone salad dressings @ 49¢ ea. -2 bottles Kraft BBQ sauce @ 79¢ ea. There was a $2 off any one canister of kool-aid coupon stuck to the BBQ sauce so I threw in one of those @ $1.69. :) Altogether my bill totalled up to $37.69 and with the sales and my coupons I paid just $8.09 for a total savings of $29.60, or 79%! Coupons I used: -2 $1/2 Ragu -1 $1/2 Skippy -2 50¢/1 Wishbone dressing -1 $2/1 kool-aid

I will be posting a few recent couponing trips I've made over the next few days! This one is from this past Saturday. This was just a small grocery trip with two transactions at Albertsons and one at Ralph's. Let's start with Albertsons! Albertsons I had a two-transaction trip planned here. For my first transaction I purchased 4 boxes of cereal (Reese's Puffs, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and Cocoa Puffs). They were on sale 4/$6.46 and I had 2 $1/2 coupons so I paid 4/$4.46 or $1.11/each. They also had a special where if you buy any 4 boxes, a Catalina coupon for $2 off your next purchase would print, AND a Catalina for a free gallon of milk up to $4.50. Next, I picked up 3 boxes of Pop Tarts, on sale 3/$4. I had a $1 off coupon so that brought it down to 3/$3, or $1 each. They were running a special - buy 3, and a $1 off your next trip Catalina prints. So we checked out and paid $12 for $25.43 worth of food, a savings of 53% . Transaction #2 we purchase...
