End of the Month Coupon Grocery Run!

I always try to remember to flip through my coupon binder for any high value or really good coupons at the end of the month that might be expiring (most coupons expire on the last day of the month, or the first day of the month) so I can be sure to use the ones I want.

Today I made an extra trip to the grocery store to see if I could scoop up a few more deals from soon-to-expire coupons:

• I got some trial size Tide laundry detergents with my $1/1 coupons expiring today, and fortunately I got another great cashier at Target who let me use them. Hooray for free laundry detergent!

• I also had some $0.75/2 Ortega Products that also expired today which can always get some pretty cheap Taco seasoning packets at Walmart. I also lucked out with these because my Walmart had them marked down to $0.35 each! So I actually got a 5 cent overage for each coupon I used.

• Remember those Bogo milk coupons I blogged about last week? The coupon was good for 1 free 1/2 gallon chocolate milk, up to $3.75, when you buy 1 gallon white milk. Usually the cashier has to key in the amount that the "Free" product costs but when I used one tonight the register automatically deducted $3.75 even though the chocolate milk only cost $1.59. I got a $2 overage from that which is always a wonderful surprise at the checkout! (This isn't the first time I've gotten a really sweet overage from a "free milk" coupon either, by the way.)

• I also got 5 more boxes of 40 ct. Electrasol Finish Dishwasher Gelpacks at Target with my $2.50/1 coupons and a raincheck for the sale price of $3.50/box from a couple weeks back when they were sold out. I've gotten a LOT of boxes of Electrasol, but it's such an amazing price I had to stock up on them. Since I only get 4 copies of the Sunday paper coupon inserts each week right now I bought some extra coupons for these on EBay (FYI: EBay can be a great place to score some cheap coupons on a specific item when you know a really good sale is coming up).
  

Here's what I picked up today:
Retail Price: $55.12I paid: $9.19
Savings of: 83%
Savings Breakdown:
Coupons tendered: $25
Sale prices: $20.93

2 Great Cereal Coupons

There are some things that I will not pay more than 25 cents-50 cents for: most toiletry items (toothbrushes, shampoo, make-up, toothpaste, handsoap, etc.), gum, toilet paper (per roll), and cereal. Especially cereal. It goes on sale often enough and is very often included in store promotions (like save $5 off a purchase of $20 on participating products) which can be stacked with coupons.

here are two high value coupons for you right now! Even with a great sale, these coupons are so good that you could get quite a cheap box of cereal at Walmart:

• $2 off Post Trail Mix Crunch (this is supposed to have reset, so even if you've printed it off before you should be able to print out 2 more)
  

• $2 off Post Honey Bunches of Oats Pecan Bunches
  

Weekly Grocery Trip

I bought a few things on Monday so there are two pictures this week. We are moving in 3 weeks so we are trying to eat up all the food we have, but we are also trying to eat more veggies so that is a large part what I bought this week.

Retail Price: $123
(both pictures combined)

I paid: $43.52

Savings of 65%

Savings Breakdown:
Coupons tendered: $41.60
Double Coupons Tendered: $8.63
Store sales/mark downs: $29.25

The sales the past few weeks at Copps have been pretty weak at best, so I've had to fill in a lot of the holes at Walmart, which I hate because I know I'm not getting the best prices. I also used quite a few "Free" coupons to bring my before-coupon total up high enough in order to double some coupons at Copps (Which is why I bought dog food even though I have no dog).

Some of my favorite deals I got this week are:

• 5 boxes of 40 ct. Electrasol Finish Tabs for $4 (80 cents/box; 2 cents per load of dishes!) These were on sale at Target last week, love those rain checks!
  
• 4 Trial Size Tide for FREE (with $1/1 coupon from July P&G Brandsaver insert. Finally I have a cashier who let the 3 penny overage slide!)
• Baby Spinach for 75 cents, marked down from $2.88
