I had an exciting morning today that began at 3:00am. After staying up until 11:30pm downloading and printing off coupons, I slept briefly and picked up my sister-in-law Adrienne at 3:45am and we headed to the "big" sale at Albertsons. This weeks ad was buy 10 items of specific products and get a $10.00 off coupon afterward. So, there was a lot of counting and a lot of individual transactions because you had to buy in increments of 10 in order to use the $10.00 off coupon for your next transaction. I'm not sure if all Albertsons are this way, but the one in Idaho Falls is and we love it. The store opened at 4:00am and when we arrived at 3:58am, there was already a line. There were so many people and the transactions took so long that I ended up giving my other sister-in-law Steph and her friend a ride home so she could leave her car with two other ladies she came with because they were going to be another 2 hours. I made it home by 6:30am, just in time for Joe to run out the door for work. Just call us the crazy coupon ladies.
So here is the extent of my savings.
I bought:100 cans of Progresso Soup, 79 boxes of cereal (1 lb ea), 22 bags of 8.75 oz Chex Mix, 12 tubes of Pillsbury grand biscuits (8 ea), 38 boxes of Pillsbury Toaster Streudal (6 ea), 3 tubes Pillsbury crescent rolls (8 ea), 7 ready to bake Pillsbury Cookie tubes (16.5oz), 40 boxes of fruit snacks (6 ea), 39 boxes of cereal bars (6 ea).
I spent $353.95, plus I still have 6 $10.00 off coupons that I can still use at the store, and I earned 60 cents off each gallon of gas I buy from there up to 20 gallons which totals $12.00. And according to Albertsons I saved $780.50 off their regular prices.
I am so grateful to my sister-in-law Stephanie for introducing me to this great method of saving money. It takes very little effort and the savings are enormous. Just remember, you buy the items before you need them in order to save money. Its a great way to build up your food storage.
