This is a great week for deals! After the Post Cereal discovery last night, I wanted to make sure I got to Jewel first thing this morning. These were going to be popular and this moneymaker was the perfect thing for me to shave off a bit of the $1.25 I’ve been paying for the Lean Pockets (after coupon and $2 Your Bucks). I have also been waiting for the Jennie-O ground turkey to be B1G1 so that I could take advantage of the $5 Jennie-O rebate.
Before doing any transactions at Jewel, I bought a $300 gift card and made an extra $30 from Refund Rewards. Then I shopped!
Here’s what I did:
Transaction #1
2 Honey Bunches Of Oats $1.59 each
2 Fruity Pebbles $1.59 each
2 Lean Pockets $2 each
1 Tropicana OJ 89 oz $3.99
3 Fisher Fusions $1.29 each
2 Jennie-O Ground Turkey $5.49 B1G1
I used
2 $1/2 Post Cereal coupons
1 $.75/2 Lean Pockets CAT from previous Lean Pockets purchase
1 $1 Tropicana coupon from ad
3 $1 Fisher coupons
$7.50 CATs from previous transactions
Final Price: $10.80
I got back $7 CAT ($3 Post CAT, $2 Post YB, $2 Lean Pockets YB)
I will also file for $5 Jennie-O rebate
Total Cost: $6.30
Transaction #2 & #3 (they were the same)
2 Honey Bunches of Oats
2 Cocoa Pebbles
2 Lean Pockets
I used
2 $1/2 Post cereal coupons
1 $.75/2 Lean Pockets CAT from previous purchase
$7 CAT from previous transaction
Final Price: $.84
I got back $7 CAT ($3 Post, $3 Post YB, $2 Lean Pockets)
Total Cost for both transactions: $1.68
If you count the $30 I made by buying the gift card, I’m actually up $22.02, but I can’t decide it I count that as grocery savings or not.
I had only intended to go to Walgreens this morning, but things didn’t work exactly as planned. I was going to do the Band-Aid Neosporin deal, but Character Band-Aids didn’t seem to be a part of the deal so I nixed it. Does anyone know if the Wags Band-Aid coupon works on regular Band-Aids?
Walgreens
Transaction #1
1 Reese’s Dark $.89
1 Colgate Total $3.99
2 Kraft Shells & Cheese 2/$3
I used
$1 Colgate coupon from Jewel ad
$.55 Reese’s Dark coupon
$.49 Hershey’s Candy in-ad coupon (took off $.40)
$5 RR from a previous transaction
Final Price: $1.46
I got back $4 RR for Colgate
Total Cost: $2.54
Transaction #2
6 Kleenex Boxes
I used
2 $.50/3 Kleenex coupons
$.89 in-ad coupon (my cashier allowed me to do 6 instead of the limit of 3)
$4 RR from previous transaction
Final Price: $.89
I got back $3 RR from Kleenex AND another free Tampax CAT!
Total Cost: $1.89
After I got home I realized that I totally forgot about the Planter’s deal, so I’ll have to go back later this week. Which you know will be hard for me. ![]()
I guess that Tampax CAT is random, so now is a good time to shop at Walgreens! You never know what may pop up!
