Giant Food Stores Deals 6/30

Giant had 4 dollar doublers in this week's ad. We were away over the weekend and a neighbor brought my papers up to the house, only I couldn't find them. I figured I'd just grab an ad at the store and use the doublers from that. Unfortunately, the in-store ads did not feature and doublers (I imagine they were being abused). I purchased mostly produce and milk but managed to use a few coupons. This is what I got:

2 packs Ortega Taco seasoning .65 each = 1.30
1 French's yellow mustard 10/$10 = 1.00
1 KC Masterpiece bbq sauce 2/$3 =1.50

I used the following coupons:

.75 off 2 Ortega products -doubled (only up to 1.00) = .28 for 2
.50 off French's mustard -doubled = FREE!
.50 off KC Masterpiece bbq sauce - doubled = .50

I also bought Trix Yogurt for 1.99 and used a .50 coupon that doubled - making it .99
and
Daisy Sour Cream was 1.99. I used a .50 coupon that doubled making it .99

Later, when I came home, I found my Sunday paper AND my dollar doublers in my Giant ad. I went back in the evening to use them:
3 cans Dole mandarin oranges 10/10 = 3.00
2 Starkist tuna pouches .89 each = 1.78
1 French's Spicy Brown mustard 10/10
2 Ortega taco seasoning .65 each = 1.30
1 Dannon Activia Yogurt 2/4
1 Kozy Shack sugar free pudding = 2.39

I used these coupons:
1.00 off 3 cans Dole Oranges (doubled) = 3/1.00
1.00 off 2 pouches Starkist tuna (doubled) = FREE (.22 overage)
.50 off French's mustard (doubled) = FREE
.75 off 2 Ortega products (doubled to 1.00) = 2 for .30
1.00 off Activia yogurt (Doubled) = FREE
1.00 off Kozy Shack pudding (doubled) = .39

I also purchased an avacado for 1.69 and my total came to 3.17

Target 6/22

Okay, so I can't ever go into Target and shop for only a deal... I always find something else to buy (and usually pay full price) This week, I didn't plan... didn't have all of my coupons with me AND was on a time constraint. So of everything I actually bought, this was the best deal:
This bag of Russel Stover's Chocolates was reduced 50% to 1.98. I had a 2.00 off coupon for Russel Stover Origin Select Chocolates.
I don't particularly care for Russel Stover's Chocolates. I don't even like dark chocolates. Heck, I don't really even eat chocolate much at all... but it was FREE and I DO like free chocolate.

CVS 6/26

I had already done the Charmin/Duracell deal earlier this week. But I realized that I had some Extra Care bucks that will expire while I am on vacation in 2 weeks. I have to use them up between now and then and I am nervous because the upcoming CVS deals aren't looking too great. I just have to make do the best I can - even if it means losing some bucks - like I did today.

Quarterly bucks will be printing on July 1st, and I might be able to make up my losses there.

Anyway, here is what I did today...

Aleve 2.99
Playtex Sport Tampons 7.99
CVS Band aids 1.99
Peanut Butter Crackers 1.00 (these were a filler)

Minus the following coupons:

Aleve: 1.00
CVS 1.50 off any pain relief purchase
Playtex 1.00
Extra Care Bucks 10.00

I ended up paying .47 out of pocket and saving 17.39. I also earned 1.99 + 2.00 back in Extra Care bucks. I don't usually like to spend more than I get back, but at least I got stuff we needed.

Next week I can get some sunblock (will need for vacation) and swiffer refills - I hope. Off to check the ad again!

Giant Food Stores Deals 6/26

This week at Giant, I spent most of my food budget money on produce. I LOVE produce in the summer time!
I went back today to get the items pictured above. Here is how it panned out:

2 packs Solo Plates 2/$4
Yoplait Kids 1.99
Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce 1.00 (10/10)
Giant 12 Grain Bread .97 (on clearance)
=
10.13

I applied the following coupons:

Solo Plates -2.00
Solo Plates -2.00
Sweet Baby Rays -1.00
Yoplait kids - FREE (the cashier took off 2.00, not sure why)

My total came to .96! So basically I only paid for the bread.

I got home and found a $5 off $30 coupon for Giant in my mailbox! Happy Day!
