I have a super deal to share with you (and a few other things!). This week at Harris Teeter, MOST Kellogg's products are 50% off. Also, if you purchase 10 Kellogg's products, it will trigger a catalina (read: those coupons that print off at the register and are handed to you with your receipt) for $10 off your next shopping purchase. (SWEEEEEEET!)
Confession - The girls and I didn't go on Wednesday to take full advantage of this deal. I prefer to just stay home a lot when it's so hot out, but when we were forced to go out on Thursday to drop off our rent check, I decided to swing through the HT. By then, most of the REALLY good priced cereals were gone :( We made the best of it though, and came out alright in the end!!!
Just for the purpose of the final total, there was a box of Cheerios that did not make the image above. It was on sale for $2 and I had a $.50 coupon that doubled to $1.00, making the Cheerios $1.00! There also was a container of Welch's White Grape Juice. It was on sale for $3.00 and I had a $.75 coupon that doubled to $1.50, making the juice's final price $1.50.
- All-Bran - $2.17 - $1 coupon = $1.17
- Special K Protein - $1.74 + Special K Chocolate - $1.75 = $3.49 - $1/2 coupon = $2.49 or $1.25/$1.24 per box
- Mini-Wheats (2) - $2.00/ea - $1/2 coupon = $3 or $1.50 per box
- Kellogg's Pop Tarts (5) - 3 boxes rang at $1.09 and 2 at $1.10, so $5.47 total; 2 coupons applicable to this, each worth $1 = Final total of $3.47 or $.69 per box
Now here's the kicker ... the one I didn't even plan!!!! When I got home and was putting away my Pop Tarts, I noticed a promo on the boxes involving codes for different flavors. I flipped a box over and discovered that if you buy 5 different flavors of Pop Tarts (which I did) and put the codes into their web site, they'll send you coupons for 2 free boxes of Pop Tarts!!!! *happy dance*
A few other frugality-related things I've managed recently:
- At the outlets the other day, I went into Izod and bought my dad a $60 golf shirt for $5!!! It was on clearance for ~$10 (they were getting rid of their summer inventory...I guess they don't realize that we golf in short sleeves pretty much year-round here in the Carolinas???) and when I got to the register, there was a promo for $5 off if you texted a certain combination to their corporate store. Since I already pay for unlimited data and texting on my phone, I really had nothing to lose and, so, at the register, I stood there and texted the numbers and then waited for the return message so I could get my $5 off! :)
- Speaking of maximizing your data plan on your phone - I never pay for Red Box rentals (unless I don't take it back after one day). I stand in front of the kiosk with my phone, looking for rental codes. I just keep inputting codes until I happen across one that works! :)
- At Food Lion last week, they had a few good deals that I couldn't resist! While there, I was perusing through their meat section and noticed that one of the big hams they had was set to "expire" the next day. I picked it up, took it to the meat clerk and said "Were you going to mark this down today??? It's sell-by date is tomorrow." He whipped out his label-maker and stuck another sticker on it!!!! I got a $27 ham for about $7.50! Sometimes, I just can't help myself :) And you should always ask about things like this too! The worst they can say is "no."
All my love,
