My Shopping Trip 12/31/2010

Wow, shopping today took FOREVER!! I hit three places, Discount Foods, Price Chopper and Grand Union, had some expiring coupons to get used up. Here's the deals and steals at each:

Discount Foods:
Spent quite a bit of time here as I had a bunch of expiring coupons and I was hungry, so that combo made for lots of deals on snacks. LOL

Crisco canola oil - $2.49 X2
used $1/2
total - $.99 ea

Nonni's Biscotti - $.99 X4
used $1/2 X2
total - $.49 ea

Triscuits - BO@ $1.49 GO Free
used $1/2
total - $.25 ea

My Shopping Trip 12/26/2010

My day after Christmas venture in for groceries... oh my. Only went two places this week, Walmart and Price Chopper. Here's the rundown of each:

Walmart:
Metamucil Apple Crisp cookies - $4.72
used $1/1
total - $3.72

Metamucil original - $7.92
used $2/1
total - $5.92

Beaudreax Butt Paste - $4.88
used $2/1
total - $2.88

Huggies Pull Ups - $8.97
used $1/1
total - $7.97

Also got instant oatmeal, big jug of apple juice, new All You magazine, and regular diapers. Total OOP was $40.79. High, but had to get the Metamucil for poor DD, been having the potty-training constipation blues with her for a while. :(

Price Chopper:
Went to a young kid checker here on this trip and wow, we was out in the ozone somewhere. He stared somewhere over my shoulder the whole time and TOTALLY forgot to deduct my coupons. How frustrating. I had to go to customer service to get reimbursed for the coupons. It all was fine in the end, but what a hassle.

Dole salad blends - BO@ $3.99 GO Free

PC tall kitchen trash bags - BO@ $2.59 GO Free

Country Crock spread - $2.69
used $.50/1 doubled
total - $1.69

Gogurt - $2.99 X2
used $1/2 doubled
total - $1.99 ea

Hood sour cream - $1.99
used $1/1 doubled
total - FREE

Herbal Essences shampoo - $2.69 X3
used $1/1 X3 doubled
total - $.69 ea

Gerber prunes 2 pk - $1 X2
used $.75/2 doubled
total - $.25 ea

ChiChi's flour tortillas - $2 X2
used $1/2 doubled
total - $1 ea

Got some other produce, meat, and non-deal items also, oh and I had a $5 OYNO and a $1 OYNO that I used this trip also.

Total Price Chopper trip before AdvantEdge and Coupons - $97.38
Total items - 40
AdvantEdge savings - $10.25
Coupon savings - $19.25
Total savings - $29.50

Total OOP - $67.70

Meh, at first I wasn't too impressed with this trip, but now that I'm looking it over again, I didn't do too bad all in total. I think it jsut gave me a bad feeling to have that full $87 deducted from my account, they did honor and credit the coupons after, but that gave me a uneasy feeling right from the get go.

LOL Also really loved the super cheap boxes of chocolates, and they are pretty good sized boxes too. :) I also gave a woman that was shopping here two coupons for stuff in her cart, dog food and the Swanson stock cartons. She looked at me funny at first, but accepted and was truly thankful. Then I ended up being in checkout behind her and the cashier tried to refuse the dog food coupon and she was going to take it back, but I piped up and told them to check the description and they ended up putting it through.

WOOT! My savings is higher than what I actually spent! Too funny! I was again the coupon fairy here, as well as spreading cheer to one of my favorite employees there. I was standing in the frozen aisle when two women came by price cheking and comparing chicken nuggets for their kids, and one said to go look in the meat case for the Price Chopper brand ones on the trays. I piped up and said that the Tyson Anytizer chicken dippers were really good, that my DD loves them, and I had coupons for them if it would help. So we chatted for a while, I explained a bit about couponing, and I gave them two coupons for the chicken, a couple others for items in their cart, and the website address for weusecoupons.com! LOL They were very thankful for all my help and were amazed at how far off their perceptions of couponing were. Then I trotted off to finish my shopping. In the dairy aisle I finally saw the employee I had been searching for. This lovely woman that I see just about every Saturday that is so nice, kind, helpful, and is ALWAYS smiling and talking to people, she really stood out as an outstanding employee. So as she buzzed by to put something away, we exchanged hellos as usual, then I told her I had something for her. Grabbed my coupon bag and dug out that star thing from the center of the Price Chopper magazines for customers to give to employees that make their shopping experience wonderful, and gave it to her and thanked her for being such a sweet and helpful person. She gave me a big hug and wished me happy holidays. I left there feeling so good! :D

Meh. I mean I got good deals on stuff and all, but I still wasn't thrilled with the final OOP. Not to mention that I actually had two sets of three tripler coupons and I just couldn't go back in there again to use the second set. :( Kinda bummed, but I sat in the car for a while trying to think what else to really get that we needed and I couldn't come up with a thing! So I left. LOL

And I actually just noticed that I got some clearance bakery apple bites that were $1.99 with a $1 off coupon and they didn't ring them up. I have them, they must not have scanned them. Oh well. Total OOP here was $21.23.

That's all she wrote! It was a loooong day. I got a late start to begin with, then the stores were an absolute zoo... made for a very un-relaxing shopping trip. LOL
