So i have decided to start blogging how i coupon as some of my friends keep asking me how i do it.
I am a stay at home mom and my goal is to spend $100 or less a week on groceries and maximize it as much as possible. This includes everything, diapers, personal needs ( shampoo, conditioner, female products, razors ect),laundry detergent, meats, anything we need eggs, milk, ect not just couponing stuff.I mainly shop between Stop & Shop, Market Basket and CVS. I will try to post my coupon finds as much as possible.
Last Month I spent $374 and saved $220.
Todays run was to stop and shop ... They double coupons that are under $.99...
So first off a few clarifications, the coupons on the circular can be stacked with manufacturers coupons and the same goes for the register printed coupons (catalina coupins) can also be stacked with manufacturers coupons too....
So i get one boston globes delivered a week and then my mother in law gives me hers so essentially 2 sets a coupins a week... I dont buy coupons either... I check coupons.com a few times a week to see what they are offering. I recommend 2 sets of coupons a week that way you have 2 for like buy one get one free deals..
So this week here is the deals i took part in!
Oreos were 2/$6 .. If you buy 4 stop & shop gives $4 off instantly.. So bought 4 got $4 off instantly so making them $8 then i had 2 $1 off 2 coupons making them 4 for $6...
Poptarts were $2 each had a coupon for $1 off 3 making them $5 for 3.
Thomas english muffins were bogofree.... Then I had $1 off 2 making it $3.19 for 2!
Sour cream was $1.67 then had $.55 coupon which doubles to $1.10 making each one $.57 so had 2 coupons so got 2!!!
Coupon.com had a $.75 off nature valley breakfast biscuit which is usually $3.19 on sale for $2.88 but the coupon doubled to $1.50 so making it only $1.38!!
The peanut butter poptarts on sale $2.50 each and coupon for $1 off 2 making them $4
Coffee mate creamer 2/$5 i had a register coupon for $1 off 2 and then manufacture coupon for $1.50/2 making it final price $2.50 for both !
Milk was onsale for $2.69 then got $.75 back on ibotta....
So on the circulars are store coupons, this week was a free 6 pack of coke if you spend $25.. I also had a coupon for $1 off one 6 pack so i got the sprite for $1.50 and the coke free... Also had a bounty coupon that is usually $8.99 on sale for $5.99 store coupon brings it down to $3.99 and i had a manufacturers coupin for $1 off so making it final price of $2.99!!
So total of all coupon stuff out of pocket, was $28 !! Retail price was $62.92...
Hope that helps! If you have any questions please let me know!!!
