Copps Trip 5/25/11 |
I usually look at each of my coupons to verify that I have the correct item/size prior to going to the register. Today, thinking I'd just breeze through the trip, I neglected to double-check....and paid for it (literally) at the register, where I made a last minute switch to the correct product ($1.49 "5" gum instead of $1.00 "Stride" gum). ;-(
Here's what I chose to buy today:
1-Roundy's Milk 1%, 1 gallon, $2.29= $2.29
1- Fresh Express Garden Salad, $0.88
+ used in ad coupon to get sale price
+ used $1/1 coupon, doubled up to reg price of $1.29
= $0.41 moneymaker
4-"5" gum packs, $1.49 each
+ used two $1/2 coupons, doubled
= $0.49 each ~really just wishing I hadn't bought this. I've never tried this gum, though...maybe it's worth $0.49? My (almost) teenage daughter thinks it's great, though. She said this gum is "black" in color. Should be interesting.
1-Best Life Spread, $2.00
+ used $0.50/1 coupon, doubled
= $1.00
1-Haagen Dazs Coffee Ice Cream, $3.00 ~I'm going to need this. ;-)
+ used $1/1 coupon, doubled
= $1.00
~ used Rolling Gift Card Idea: purchased a $25 Copps gift card to be sure my coupons would double & also used a $25 Copps gift card from a prior trip to zero this cost out.
Total Spent: $6.06 to subtract from my $200/mo. grocery budget
Total Saved: $11.24 (65% OFF!)
Sorry!
ReplyDeleteThat just sucks when it is no fun to shop - t becomes a comedy of errors...relax, and get pumped for the fun on Saturday!

I've tried the Take 5 gum. it's actually pretty good. I've bought it the last few times it's been on sale because of the coupons. My son is the one who told me to buy it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Geri!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try it soon! :-)
