Shopping Success!

2 Creamy chicken ramen (fast and easy lunch - add frozen veggies and curry powder!)

And the surprise item...very nice Scotch brand scissors for free!  They had scissors and coupons at checkout and offered up 10 scissors per customer!  So head over to Schnucks in Washington before they run out!

All of this for $13.05!

Schnucks 8/1-8/6

Great 10 for $10 sale this week!  Remember you don't have to buy 10.  Also, there are some good Catalina offers (the money-back offers printed at checkout) for items I buy often AND have coupons for!  Check out my previous post about where to find coupons for items marked (PP).  Here's what I'm interested in this week:

Bugles (6-8.5 oz.) $1 - $1/2 Q (7/10 SS) = .50 each
Yoplait Greek Yogurt $1 - $.50/2 doubled (6/26 SS, 7/31 SS, PP) = $.50 each
Knorr rice or pasta sides $1 - $.75/3 or $1.35/5 or $1.85/7 PP
      Best deal: 5 for $5 - $1.35Q = .73 ea.
Kleenex $1 - $.40/3 Q (7/17 SS, doubled) = .73 ea.
Bounty napkins $1 - .25Q (7/31 P&G, doubled) = .50 ea.
Band-aid $1 - .50Q (7/31 SS, doubled) = FREE

Pampers 9.99 - various Q (7/31 P&G, $1.50/1 Cheerios box)
      Catalina deal: Buy $10-$24.99 get $2, Buy $25 get $5 on Swaddlers or Cruisers only

Fresh Bratwurst $1.99/lb. (3 lb. pkg) = $5.97
Pork Steaks $1.89/lb. (4 lb. pkg) = $7.56
Gorton's frozen fish $4.99 (17.5-24.5 oz.) Q here

       WYB 6 x 3 + 2 (use 3 Q) = .56 ea.
       WYB 8 x 3 (use 3 Q) = .56 ea.
I have gotten Yoplait yogurt for as low as .33 ea. at Schnucks after coupon.  Wait on this deal.

Print those coupons!

It's the first of the month, so go to all the coupon websites and print those coupons before they are gone!

http://www.couponnetwork.com/
http://www.bettycrocker.com/
http://www.redplum.com/
http://www.smartsource.com/
http://www.coupons.com/

You have to register for the first two, but registration is free.  You can print 2-3 times off each website by hitting your back button.  If you've printed the limit, the coupon will either disappear or say "print limit reached," so don't worry that you are doing something illegal.  They will change the print limit when they only want you to print one of each.  My favorites:

Pillsbury rolls and crescents coupons
Yoplait Greek and regular yogurt
Hamburger Helper
Nature Valley granola
Totino's Pizza rolls

Also, remember that you can use as many coupons as you want in one transaction.  For example, if you have 8 $.50/2 Greek yogurt coupons, you can buy 16 yogurts and use all the coupons.  Careful, though, because Schnucks in Washington will only double up to 15 coupons per transaction up to $.50 each.  So if you want to buy Greek yogurt on their 10 for $10 sale, you can use all 8 coupons, but then you only have 7 left in your doubling allotment.  Of course, you can always divide up into two transactions!
