I took advantage of the Grandparents visiting today and went to Giant on my own with out the girls.  Those of you who have young children know what a treat it is to go by yourself. :) Here is how I did this trip:

  • Wheat Thins
  • on sale 2/$4
  • 2 coupons for $1 off 2
  • $1.50 per box
  • Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • On sale 10/$10
  • there was specification you must 10 so I bought 6 (I have put 5 in the freezer)
  • $1 each
  • Nature Valley Bars
  • $2.95 per box
  • Buy 4 nature valley and or General Mills products get $4 credit on your bill
  • used (3) .50 off coupons
  • $1.57 per box
  • Swansons broth
  • I can’t remember what they were… I just know I had a $1 off 2 catalina coupon that was about to expire.
  • Dole Salads 
  • on sale 2/$5
  • (2) $1 off pelies found on the product
  • $1.50 each
  • Ken’s salad dressings
  • on sale 10/$10
  • I had 8 coupons for $1 off Ken’s salad dressing.
  • FREE**

**note that the clerk had to over ride the coupon.  The computer beeped indicating something was wrong.  The problem was the picture on the coupon did not match the item I wanted to purchase.  BUT the first 5 digits of the coupon and the item matched and the store will be reimbursed by the company. I was told this was something they do not do all the time and it was a one time thing.
