Week of 4/5 - The Big Plan

I don't have kids at home this week and did a LOT of stocking up last week, so I don't plan to do a whole lot of shopping this week. I do have a gift to buy and some odds and ends to pick up. There are some good deals that I want to take advantage of (stocking up for Thing1 and Thing2), but nothing like last week.

Here's the plan... (all ideas from Jenny's site www.southernsavers.com)

Kroger - just a quick stop. Luckily it's right across the street from Publix and Wallgreens!

2 - Capri Sun 10 packs ($1.79)
1 - Gallon of Kroger Milk (free - see below)
3 - Boxes of General Mills Cereal $2.49 each (Milk is free w/ 3 General Mills cereal purchases)

Cinnamon Toast Crunch - 55 cents off - printable coupon for Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Cocoa Puffs - 75 cents off - printable coupon for Cocoa Puffs
Honey Nut Cheerios - 55 cents off - printable coupon for Honey Nut Cheerios
- 55 cents off - cellfire e-coupon (see their site for explanation)

As of the Saturday, the e-coupons AND the paper coupon both work on the same item (so in the above example I'll save $1.10), but I've heard that might be changing and you don't get the e-coupon if you use a paper one as well.

If all those above work then I'll have 3 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk for $5.07 AND I'll have a box of cereal for each of us! Thing1 loves Cheerios, Thing2 likes stuff like Cocoa Puffs and I'm a Cinnamon Toast Crunch girl.


If there are any other 25 cent pasta deals, I'll add a couple of bags for Thing1 and Thing2 who would eat chicken and noodles every day if I'd let them! (I've got a 50 cent coupon, so when it's doubled to $1.00, as long as the pasta is still marked around $1.25ish, that's a GREAT deal worth stocking up on)


Publix

----Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) deals-----

1 - Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix (BOGO of 1.63 makes one box 82 cents less 35 cent coupon doubled = 12 cent cake!!!) Too bad I only have one coupon!

2 - Kraft Miracle Whip Dressing, 32 oz jar, at $ 3.99
-$1/2 Kraft or Miracle Whip Mayo coupon from 3/29 paper makes it $3 for 2

4 - Kraft or Seven Seas Dressing 16 oz bottle, or Good Seasons, 14 oz bottle, at $ 2.75
-$1.50 off any Kraft Dressing 3/29 (makes it FREE plus .13¢ overage)

1 - Breyers Ice Cream, 48 oz carton, at $4.99 (BOGO makes price for one $2.50)

--- other good deals----

1 - Loaf White Bread (.01 deal of the week)

6 - Ziploc Freezer Bags $1.25 ea
- .40 off ziploc bags 3/15 (makes it 45 cents each)

3 - Kellogg’s Cereal (Rice Krispies) at $ 3.99
-$1 off any Kellogg’s Cereal 4/05 paper (makes it .99¢ ea)
This will be the end of my cereal purchases for a while!!! (or until Thing1 turns 14 in a couple of months)

Kraft Chunk Cheese 8oz $1.66 ea - may or may not purchase... not sure if I need this.
-.55/1 any Kraft Cheese, Cheese booklet at Publix (found near Spray can cheese)
-$1/3 Kraft Cheese products printable (Food Lion Printable coupon) (use 3 manuf and 1 Competitor makes it .78¢ ea)

Breakstones Sour Cream 16oz .99¢ ea
-$1/2 Breakstones Sour Cream 3/29

Philadelphia Cream cheese $1 ea
-.55/1 off any Philadelphia product, Cheese booklet at Publix (supposedly found near Spray can cheese.... hope so!)

4 - Nestle Refrigerated Cookie Dough $2.50 ea
-$1 off Nestle Cookie Dough 3/29 or printable


Rite Aid

Pepcid 25 count - $9.99 (need 4)
-$3 off in-ad Rite-Aid coupon
-$2 off manufacturer's coupon 4/05 (use both store and manufacturer coupon for $4.99 pepcid)

Wonka Jelly Beans 2/$3.00
-$1/2 manufacturer coupon (not sure where I got it!)


Wallgreens

Hershey’s Candy 8-10oz 4 for $10 (for easter baskets)
-$5 Easy Saver Rebate with (4) Hershey’s Bagged Candies (a rebate mailed at the end of the month by Wallgreens - enter receipts online. Accept a gift card and get additional 10%)

-$1.50/3 Hershey’s Candy 3/15
(Buy 4, use coupon, makes it .87¢ ea after rebate) - There is a Cadbury candy on sale that makes it even less.... just depends if it's something that looks good for Easter eggs.

Coca Cola 12 packs - 5/$13.00 ($2.60 each) - should keep us from having to drink Big K cola!



CVS

Transaction 1
3/$30 Huggies Diapers -
(PLEASE NOTE: diapers are for baby shower gifts!!!)
- $5 manufacturer coupon (use 3)
- $4 off of $20 coupon

$11 out of pocket (OOP)
get $10 extra care bucks (ECB) coupon for future purchase

Transaction 2
3/$11 Coke 12 packs (bought these before I knew about the Wallgreens sale)
Use $10 ECB from transaction #1
$1 out of pocket -
get $3 extra care bucks rebate after purchase

Transaction 3
88 cents Pringles (have $1/2 coupon) - buy 8
use 4= $1 off coupons and $3 ECB
$.04 OOP

(spent $12 at CVS and got all of the above!!!)


Total For the Week (if I don't buy anything else... like Oreos... which I guess I'll go ahead and figure in at $3)

$86.00 with a rebate coming of $5.50... AND I got shower gift included!!!


It's kind of funny to see that, aside from the $5 shower gift (that would have cost me over $40 if I got it regular price and would have been my normal amount spent on a gift), my big money purchases are the Pepcid, Oreos and Cookie Dough!! :)
