Mail Call! Kotex, Save-a-lot, & Kleenex

I got a sample box from Kotex today. It had 3 tampons and 2 pantyliners inside. There was also a coupon for $1/1 Kotex product (any size and expires in over a year)! Click here to get your own samples. Don't forget about the FREE First Period Kit I mentioned yesterday!

I also got a nice coupon booklet from Save-a-lot and Proctor & Gamble. It has $15 worth of coupons inside. Most of the coupons have no size mentioned, can be doubled, and are higher value than usual. Best of all, they are manufacturer coupons that can be used at any store! This offer has ended, but there are printable coupons available here on Save-a-lot's website. Some are usable only at Save-a-lot, but there are some manufacturer coupons there too.

I got a sample of Kleenex today from Costco. Nothing very exciting, just some Kleenexes folded in a plastic zip bag. Not even any coupons. This offer is no longer available.

Trip to Food Lion & Save-A-Lot

Yesterday, I stopped by Save-A-Lot. I heard they had some nice deals on produce.  I haven't been to Save-A-Lot in years.  Their produce section was small, but everything was priced low and looked great. Bananas were .33/lb! I also got .75/lb onions. I'll definitely be stopping by again for produce. Unfortunately, I found the rest of the store to be sub-par. The meat section was disgusting.  A lot of stuff on the shelves was processed and expensive. I hope it's only the Save-A-Lot I went to that is like this.

I also stopped by Food Lion.  They have a great B1G1 sale this week on General Mills cereal.  I also had a raincheck I was hoping to use. I did two transactions.

Transaction 1:
I bought 6 boxes of Cheerios. In preparation for a sale like this, I bought .75 coupons off of ebay and printed out 2 $1 coupons from here.

Total before savings and coupons: $22.71
Total after savings and coupons: $6.72
----------------------------------
saved 72%! ----- I saved $11.34 by just using my MVP card (never leave home without it)

Transaction 2:
I bought 10lbs of russet potatoes, 5lb Boston butt pork roast, and 2 Smithfield Ham Shank portions (total of 19lbs). I had a raincheck for the ham shanks from last week's sale.

Total before savings: $29.47
Total after savings: $23.22
-----------------------------
saved 21% ----- doesn't look impressive but this doesn't include the savings I got from the raincheck.
I paid last week's price of $14.76 instead of this week's price $34.31 for an additional savings of $19.55.
Overall, I paid $23.22 instead of $42.09 ---- 45% off.
