Shopping with Coupons

May 13th, 2012 at 02:25 am

I went out to do my shopping today. I went to Walgreens, Safeway, Raleys and CVS. It actually didn't take that long. Just over an hour... I had lists and coupons ready for each place.

Total without discounts and coupons: $195.62

What I paid: $108.79

This included $31 worth of allergy meds and $24 worth of other meds/vitamins.... plus 12 boxes of cereal... and a long list of other things. Mostly stock-up kinds of things. I'll still need to make a run for produce once I make up the week's menu.

The little bonus of the day was that as I was getting into my car, I saw a little pile of receipts and paperson the ground in the parking lot. It looked like someone had just emptied their car trash bin. I happened to see in the pile that there was a $10 off next purchase coupon to Raley's. It doesn't expire until June! I squealed!

Hot here... time to make a cold drink!

    Wow, that is an impressive effort when your coupons lead to almost 50% off the original price! We are living overseas and there just aren't many coupons to be had, and even if there are, there is no insurance that they will even be honored by the stores. It's kind of ridiculous. Just another thing to miss about the States, I guess!
