My Grocery Adventure

I went a-couponing over the weekend! Big surprise, I know. I'm planning my coupon blog that I would like to have up and running by the end of the month. I wanted to share some of my good deals I found over the weekend.

These are just some of my goodies I got at Dillons. First up is my crab meat. Hubby likes my killer pasta crab salad so I stocked up. These were buy one get one free. At Dillons, when something is buy one get one free, each item will ring up at half price instead of one at full price and one free. These are regularly $3.59 each, but rang up at $1.79 each. I had 4 $1 coupons so ended up paying only $.79 a pack. I paid less for four packs total than I would have paid for one pack at full price.
These are my five free deodorants. They were on sale for $1 each. I had 5 $.50 coupons, which doubled to $1, which in turn meant free.
I actually bought 8 of these Maruchan noodles for free. These were on sale for $1 each and I had 8 $.50 coupons, which doubled to $1, which meant free again. This isn't something we normally eat around here like the poor bachelor/college student that was beside me filling his basket with these noodles. But they come in handy for a quick lunch here or there and you can't beat free. As a matter of fact, half of them are already gone because that's what the fam wanted for lunch after church yesterday.
My boys love their yogurt. I bought 6 Yoplait yogurts and actually 4 of them were marked down to $.29 each (I guess no one like Cherry Pomegranate, but Baby Jaws sure does). My total for all 6 yogurts was $2.36. I used a coupon for $.40 off 6, which doubled to $.80. Plus I also had an e-coupon loaded on my Dillons card for Yoplait yogurt for another $.50. For all 6 yogurts, I only paid $1.06.
The cough drops were on sale for $1.00 and I had a coupon for $.50 off which doubled, so these were free too.
We use a lot of green chiles because we make a lot of Mexican food around here. The green chiles were $1.29 each. I used two $.55 coupons, which each doubled to $1. Plus I had an e-coupon loaded on my Dillons card for $.50 off any two Old El Paso products. So I ended up paying only $.08 for two cans of chiles.
That is just a few highlights of my trip. I bought a lot of other things, even things I didn't have coupons for. Like I said, I'm trying to get my coupon blog up and going as soon as I can. It's my new goal I've set for myself and hopefully my goal will be accomplished very soon.
