$22 for $298 of groceries!

I finally hit the mega sale at Fry's today. I also stopped at Basha's and walgreens. There's actually more groceries that didn't make it into these photos, but for all my shopping trips today, I spent $22.72 out of pocket and I saved $275.54 or 92%.

I ran into quite a few problems with my fry's order. An electronic free coupon did not come off, 2 coupons did not double correctly, one coupon got missed, I was charged for an extra bag of dog food I did not get, I miscounted and got 2 extra items for my sets of 10 for the mega deal, and I grabbed two of the wrong items that rang up $1 more than the item I was supposed to get. That receipt was fun to figure out all the errors! I did go back, though and got almost all of them fixed with no problems. The electronic coupon I will just have to use next time.

All in all, it was worth it, and it's nice to have such a great staff at my Fry's when I have to get something fixed on my receipt!

Free Movie- in Peoria

Anyone want to go see a free movie tomorrow night- I got this in my email.
There are still passes available for the Harkins Arrowhead in Peoria for 3/16 @ 7:00.
Just follow the link and reserve and print your passes.
Click here for free movie passes.

If you have never done a free preview before, you will want to get there early. It is first come, first served and they do sometimes run out of seats. You also want to be able to get seats together if you are going with someone. Concessions are at your own expense of course, but you can use your Harkins cup and t-shirt if you have those for cheap and free drinks or popcorn. Free or cheap date night! :)

Free stuff at JcPenney!

Got this in the mail today!
It's $10 off a $10 or more purchase at JCPenney. Which equates to free stuff!
It can only be used in store, so next time I am by the store, I will have to go see what I can get for $10.

This came because I was signed up for their rewards program. If you sign up for the rewards program, you will get these occasionally throughout the year. You can sign up for the rewards program for free here: www.jcprewards.com


Yay for free stuff!

Milk deal for the new year!

My husband found a great deal on milk this morning. Since these were close to the expiration, they were marked $.99 a gallon. We go through a lot of milk and this is a great stock up price! Milk freezes just fine, so I told him to get as many as he could.
He brought home 24 gallons of milk and said there was still a lot left.
We opened each one and poured off about an inch (into a pitcher to put in the fridge) so they won't expand and explode in the freezer.
We won't have to pay full price on milk for 2-3 months now!

Free desserts and cheap lunches

I visited Fry's today for a prescription for my daughter. She had one of her wisdom teeth pulled! :( I had a $10 KMart coupon for a new RX that I used. The script was only $3, so I made $7 on it! Then I went shopping.

I got some cinnamon toast crunch for @ $.75 a box. I used 2 $.55/1 coupons that doubled to $1 each and 1 coupon for $1/2. Both coupons were printables.
Ramen noodles were 6/$1 and DD requested these since she can't eat hard foods right now.
I grabbed some bread for $1 and some store brand vanilla wafers for $1.27. (These are my midnight snack cookies.) The cheese was kroger brand and I got 2 blocks for $1.50 each.
The banquet fruit pies were on sale for $.79 each and were free with my $.35 coupons that tripled up to the price.
Campbell's chicken noodle and tomato soups were $.50 and were $.25 each after my $.25/4 coupons that quadrupled up to $1.

The frozen meals will be great for lunches. I got 3 kid cuisine for $.39 each after $.50 coupons, 3 Healthy choice and 1 Marie Callendar's steamer meals for $.47 each after $.50 coupons, and 3 Banquet family meals for $.78 each after $.50 coupons. The family meals will make enough for lunch for everyone with one box. So that was a great deal for us!

After coupons and my $10 RX credit, I paid $6.72. Before sales and coupons, my total would have been $65.02, so that's a savings of 90%.
