My Coupon trip today! Oct. 5, 2009

Today's Shopping Trip

Today, I saved $37.21 in my MVP Savings and $8.40 in coupons. I ended up spending $70.71 on all of this, but I got some really good deals!
Crest toothpaste was $1.75 each and I had two coupons for $1.00. Each toothpaste was only $.75 after the coupons. (Originally $3.00something per tube.)
Cheese was buy 1 get 1
Nestle cookies was 2 for $5.00 and then I saved $.55 each which made it $1.95 each
Jiffy cornmeal was 5 for $2.00 ($.40 each)
Spaghetti microwaveable was $1.00 each (had to buy 10) and then I had two coupons for $.40 off two so I saved $.80 off that ($9.20 total)
Cinnamon raisin bread was $1.70 off making it $1.99 for the loaf
Coke products was b1g1 making two 12-packs only $5.99 (good for guests or parties)
Ken's dressing was b1g1 making it 2 salad dressings for only $3.00
Panty liners were $.99 each with $.55 coupon off two. Two at $1.43
Gain detergent was $6.59 for 40 washes with $2.00 off making it $4.59 (Got this coupon in the mail!)
Cereal was b1g1 and I had $1.00 off two cereals. Two boxes came up to $2.92 after the coupon
Chicken breast is b1g1. Two bags for only $10.99
Danimals was $2.89 with $1.00 off coupon making this only $1.89
Got two sweet potatos at $1.22
And the most expensive thing I bought today was the apples. I LOVE this kind - they are called honeycrisp and I eat at least 1 a day so I bought 5 of them at $6.42

Even though I spent $70.00 on this, without the MVP card and my coupons, I would have paid $116.32. I could have doubled some coupons at Harris Teeter but it wouldn't have saved any gas money going to VA so I think today was ultimately a success.

One more most AWESOME thing going on right now at Food Lion is buy $45.00 worth of groceries (end total must be $45.00 or more) 1 time per week for 6 of 8 weeks and I get a FREE TURKEY just in time for Thanksgiving and I get a $20.00 electronic coupon off my next order (after all turkey credits are redeemed). I must say, couponing has opened my eyes and I am so excited to show Todd how much I saved today! Oh, and I got a lot of free coupons at the store too!
