Food Lion -- saved 42%

I went to Food Lion last week to take advantage of their deal on charcoal: buy Kingsford and get FREE Hidden Valley Ranch or KC Masterpiece. I also had some coupons to take even better advantage of the deal. I know some people don't like Food Lion because they don't double coupons or offer a lot of BOGO deals, but I've done really well shopping there regardless.

Trip summary: I did two transactions to maximize my number of FREEBIES. I also had some coupons that could not be used together in the same transaction. I was able to get 3 FREE Hidden Valley Ranch; 2 from the deal and 1 by coupon. Go to GatherRoundTheGrill to get FREE item coupons to use when buying KingsFord.

I bought 1 whole chicken, 3 bottles of Hidden Valley Ranch (FREE), 10lbs of Russet potatoes, 3 gallons of skim milk (almost $15!), 4 boxes of FL Mac&Cheese (FREE), 2 cans of Campbell's Chicken noodle (FREE), 1 box of ice cream pops, approx 4lbs of ground chuck, 2 small containers of Skinny Cow ice cream (25 cents total), 2 bags of KingsFord briquets, 2lbs of carrots, 2 18oz boxes of Cheerios, 1 Vlasic pickle spears, and 3lbs of pork ribs (just $1.30!).

Total before savings and coupons: $102.52
Total out of pocket: $57.98
------------------------------
saved 42% --- I may have saved even more; when my Food Lion does markdowns, they only show the lowest price on the receipt, not the original, higher price. I was also glad I did this in Georgia; very little food tax helps with the savings.

Kmart Super Doubles!

This week, some Kmarts will be having Super Doubles (please call before you leave to confirm with your store). If you have your ShopYourWay Rewards card, you can double 5 coupons per day! Best of all, you can double coupons valued up to $2 (doubles to $4)! This makes it really easy to get high dollar items free or cheap.

Make sure to scrounge around your coupon binders; coupons that come with samples and promotions and internet printable coupons are usually worth more than newspaper coupons. Time 2 Save has compiled a really great list of deals with newspaper and printable coupons here. Thanks, Time 2 Save!

**Make sure you let the clerk know which 5 coupons to double if you are using more than 5 coupons for your transaction! I suggest handing those over first.**

Two new samples from Walmart: Benefiber and Parent's Choice

FREE Parent's Choice Premium Infant Formula sample

FREE Benefiber Orange Powder sample -- it looks like the sample will be one of the travel size sticks


**A tip for expectant or new mothers: when you request samples/coupons from baby product manufacturers, NEVER say you will not use or buy their product. If you're not going to buy their product, why should they waste a sample or coupon on you? I'm not saying you should lie, but if there is any chance you will use their product, please tell them so.**

Bi-lo --- saved 74%!

I went to Bi-lo yesterday. I haven't done much shopping these last two weeks; the prep for my sister's wedding took up most all my time. Luckily, we had our stockpile to fall back on. I was even able to feed some of our friends, that came for the wedding, without any problems. Of course, now I need to build the stockpile back up!

Trip summary:
I bought a box of Kashi Heart to Heart cereal, Philadelphia creme cheese minis, an 8 1/2 pound ham shank, 6 boxes of Green Giant frozen veggies, and 7 bags of Green Giant Steamfresh veggies. I had some awesome coupons, so 9 of my 16 items were FREE!

Total before savings and coupons: $46.80
Total out of pocket: $12.15

Mail Call! True Lemon

I got a nice little sample pack from True Lemon. It included two packs of True Lemon and one each of True Lime and True Orange. They also included a $1 coupon with NO expiration date! These products are not available at all grocery stores, so go here to find your local source. This sample is still available, get yours here!

Mail Call! Kashi

I got another nice little cereal sample from Kashi today. It's a box of GoLean Crunch in Honey Almond Flax flavor. They also included a $1 coupon for the TLC bars or cereal. I was surprised to see this sample, because I signed up for it after the promotion was supposed to have ended. If you would like to see if you'll get a sample too, go here. Just be aware that you may not receive anything!

New Olay Rebate Offer + a deal this week!

Olay has a new rebate for 100% back on Olay Quench body lotion (any size except trial). You need to buy the lotion between 3/19 and 4/16 and send in the rebate form by 4/30. I love these rebates! I get a great item and ALL my money back (sans tax).

There is a great deal this week at Walgreens to take advantage of this rebate. The Olay Quench body lotion is on sale for $7.99 (reg. $9.99) and you get a FREE bottle of Olay Quench In-shower body lotion (reg. $4.99) with purchase! So, with the rebate, you'll get two FREE items and $7.99 back in the mail. Now, that alone is a great deal, but you can make it even sweeter by using coupons! Check the 2/14 RedPlum and 3/7 P&G inserts for $1 coupons. You should be able to use a coupon on both items, but some cashiers/stores may not allow this. In the end, you may be able to get both items for $5.99 AND get back $7.99 from Olay for a $2 profit (save even more if you have Register Rewards).

(Thanks to IHeartWags for the deal info!)

*Don't forget the Olay Pro-X $20 rebate is still ongoing!*

Mail Call! Vitamin Water and Kraft Philadelphia

I got a nice coupon for a FREE bottle of Vitamin Water. All I had to do was fill out a form on their Facebook page. This promotion has ended, but fan them on Facebook to get a jump on their next promotion.

I also got a coupon for FREE Kraft Philadelphia Minis and a $1/1 coupon for a friend or family member. Like I posted earlier, I got this coupon by being a member of Kraft First Taste. Kraft First Taste lets me try out new products and then share my opinions with Kraft and other members. If this sounds good to you, head here to join.
