Cheap Soda and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

In a recent Sunday insert there was a coupon for .55/1 Reese's peanut butter cup coupons-my Gerbes(Dillons) store had the king size on sale for $10/10 this week. I also had a coupon that stated when I purchased a King Size Reese's Peanut Butter Cup you got a $1 off a 20 oz Coke product.

Here is my scenario:

10 King Size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups = $10
10 20 oz Coke @ $1.49 each = $14.90
Total = $24.90

I used the following coupons:

10 .55 off any Reese's Peanut Butter Cups(these coupons double up to a $1 off) = -$10
10 $1 off 20 oz Coke Product= -$10

Total out of pocket $4.90

Not too bad for DH to throw in his lunch box and to have on hand. I also plan to accumulate a few more of these and donate to the concession stands at the sports events that my kids will be playing at this fall.

Free Cereal at Target

Late yesterday I figured out that by combining coupons and price matching at Target I could get free General Mills cereals.

Here is the scenario:

Walgreens had General Mills cereals for $1.99 a box this week. I grabbed my Walgreens ad and headed to Target-they currently have a $1 off any General Mills cereal Target and I had some $3 off of 3 boxes of General Mills cereal manufacturer coupons-so by combining the Target q and Manufacturer's coupon-it made them free. The Walgreens ad did state a limit of 4-and my Target was sticking by that.

I did 5 different transactions like this:

3 boxes of cereal @ $1.99= $5.97
3 Target $1 off any General Mills cereal= -$3.00
1 $3 off of 3 boxes of General Mills cereals= -$2.97*
Total=$0

* My Target actually adjusted this coupon down to $2.97-or else they would have owed me $.03 on each transaction.

You have to be quick with this deal-both the coupon and sale end on Saturday.

We are stocked for a while which is a good thing-we eat cereal at our house like crazy.

Big Plans for the Weekend!

I am so glad it is Friday-it has been a crazy week in our household-extreme heat plus 7 ballgames in 4 nights-but we are finished with that now and off to grab some bargains.

I am headed to the city tomorrow-planning on hitting up Gerbes(Dillons/Kroger) and taking advantage of the Daytona Deals-I see really cheap Breyer's ice cream 2.19-1.50 coupon=.69 and Klondike bars 2.69-1.25=1.44 in our future. There are some other deals that I plan to take advantage of also-.69 Kraft BBQ sauce minus .50 coupon doubled to $1.00= .31 overage.

Schucks also has a deal that if you purchase 10 GM items you get $5 movie e-cash. I have several different scenarios I am trying to work out-utilizing $3/3 GM cereal coupons, FREE wyb 3 cereals and others to get the lowest out of pocket cash. I will report back on how I end up doing.

Maiden Voyage

After much encouragement from my wonderful sister in law Kim-I have decided to go forward with posting about my coupon deals. I have been "extreme couponing" for about 18 months now and love it.
