Mega Sale

I go crazy for mega sales at Dillons. So crazy, in fact, that I took my boys with me. Amazing as it sounds, they were actually pretty good for once. My coupon blog is still a work in progress and I'm hoping to have it all up by this weekend. So I'm posting all my deals on here for the time being.

The mega sale has a list which, if you purchase 10 items, you will get an extra $5 off your purchase. The items can be mixed and matched. If you have coupons, it can be a very good deal or in some cases, a free deal.

I got Hub's favorite Chex Mix. They were on sale for $1.79 each. I had two e-coupons that came off. One was from Cellfire for $.50 and the other from Shortcuts for $.50. I also had a paper coupon for $1 off 2. Total cost $.79 each.

I love these Nut Clusters to snack on, but I don't like paying so much compared to the amount in the bag. Today, these were $1.99. I had an e-coupon for $1 off plus a $1 off paper coupon, so I got them for free. Actually, I made a penny! And yes, that bag is open. I needed a snack after two stores with two boys.
There have been so many sales lately that I literally have toilet paper coming out of my butt. But as Hubs says about any toilet paper, "With 3 females in the house, that won't last long." The Quilted Northern was on sale for $5.99. I had an e-coupon for $2 off plus a paper coupon for $1 off. Total cost was $2.99 for 12 double rolls.

The Brawny paper towels were on sale for $6.49. I had an e-coupon for $2 off plus a paper coupon for $1 off. Total cost was $3.49 for 8 rolls.
I swear Hubs eats Frank's on everything and his last bottle is running really low. Lucky for him it was on the mega sale list. The Frank's was on sale for $1.69. I had a $1 off coupon. Total was $.69. After Dillons, I ran to Walmart. I happened to check the price of this and it was almost $2 for the same bottle at Walmart, so I was happy with my deal.

These are some of my favorite granola bars. It's another thing I don't like paying for though unless there is a sale I can add my coupons to. These were on sale for $1.99. I had an e-coupon for $.40 off and a paper coupon for $1 off. Total cost was $.59.
The mustard was on sale for $1.35. I had a coupon for $1 off. Total cost was $.35. The honey mustard sauce was on sale for $1.49. I had a coupon for $1 off. Total cost was $.49.
We go through a lot of Rotel. These were on sale for $.49 each. The 9 cans were $4.41. I had two $.30 coupons which doubled to $.60, making two of them free plus I got $.11 overage on each one. I also had a buy 2 get 1 coupon. That coupon actually took off the regular price of $1.13, so I made another $.64 on that can. I had another coupon for $1 off 4. Total for all 9 cans was $1.08.
I bought Hubs a salmon fillet that he has been wanting to grill.
Lucky for him again, it was on sale for half off.
We like the deli sandwiches for a quick lunch, but this is another thing I don't usually pay for. They were on sale for $1.99 each. I had two $1 coupons. Total cost was $.99 each.
The macaroni and cheese were on sale for $.79 each. I had two buy 3 get 1 free coupons. The free coupons took off the regular price at $1.39, so I got more overage. Total cost for 8 boxes was $3.54.
I also bought two boxes of Ritz crackers for only $2.50. I bought a lot today. I had 40 items that were part of the mega sale so I had an extra $20 come off my order. I also bought a lot of other things I didn't have coupons for like apples, milk, bread, the salmon fillet, pretzels and Goldfish crackers. My total before any coupons or mega event discounts was $131.35. I only paid $52.61.
I also think it's pretty cool that one of the sales taxes went into the negative. I remembered my reusable shopping bags for once and got an extra $.20 for my four bags. And as I was loading my boys and groceries in the rain, the woman getting in her car beside me said, "You're doing good mom. Looks like you have a handful."

Yes, I had a handful. I also had a truck full of groceries that I didn't pay all that much for. And my little "handfuls" were good so I was one happy chick!
