I was able to get to Harris Teeter for Triples right after Monkey got on the bus this morning. A few of the items I wanted were already sold out such as the Heluva Good, Jell-o Temptations and Yoplait. I still managed to use my backup coupons to get other great deals.

3 Honey Mustard Dipping = FREE
2 Franks Hot Sauce = FREE
1 Texas Pete = FREE
1 Dole Frozen Cup = FREE
2 Smart Balance Butter = FREE

I must have gotten overage because that was under what I should have paid.
I also went to Farm Fresh to do the back page promotion and to get milk. My jell-o didn’t right up right, so they had to adjust the promo.
How did you do?

I had a pretty good trip to Farm Fresh this morning.
My big issue is that I didn’t end up with 4 FREE Speedstick. In theory, a B1G1 free sale and B1G1 free coupon = 2 free. Well, I was talking instead of watching my coupons. Since each item rings up half-price, my coupon value was only $1.59 off instead of $3.18!
Also, the Pepsi Next is included in the Instant Savings Promo! When they checked the price for me, we rang up 10 Pepsi Next 2L. It took off the $0.50 for each PLUS gave me 2 FREE! 10 bottles of Pepsi Next for $8.20 then you could use (2) $1/2 coupons to pay just $4.20 for 10 bottles! I didn’t purchase as it would have cleared the shelves, but if you’re store has a good stock…
4 Quaker Granola Bar = $3*
4 Pepsi Next = FREE*
2 Quaker Medley = $0.58*
4 Kens Dressing = FREE
4 Buddig = $0.86
4 Klondike = $9.44 (part of $4 CAT promo on back page of ad)
1 Kraft Milkbite = $0.50
2 Yoplait Yogurt = $1.78 (expensive but I eat 1 for breakfast every morning)
1 Block Cheddar Cheese = $2.59
1 Kraft Fresh Take = FREE(free product coupon)
4 Speedstick = $3.18 (yuck)
-$0.20 bag discount
-$5 CAT from last week
Total Paid: $17.91 – $4 back from CAT not printing = $13.91
Total Saved: $33.18
My CAT for the Klondike Bars didn’t print because the machine was out of ink, so they gave me $4 cash instead.
How did you do this week?

I was so busy yesterday that I didn’t get my super quick trip to Farm Fresh posted. I knew there wouldn’t be time for a proper picture, so you can see everything thrown into my cart as I ran around the store. I had 20 minutes to shop, checkout and drop the cold items at the house 
It was a beverage sale day, so now I have a nice little stockpile back. Since we don’t drink much juice or bottled water it will last awhile.
2 belVita = $1.98
4 Old Orchard = $1.98
2 Frigo String Cheese = $2.98
2 Silk Protein = $1
1 Band-aid = $1.19
1 Hartz Dog Biscuit = $0.49
3 Juicy Juice = $5.50*
1 Nestle water = $3.50*
2 Edy’s Fruit Bar = $3*
1 Stouffers – $1*
Total Paid: $23.38
Total Saved $26.20
Earned $5 CAT for Nestle Promo*

I was surprised at the lack of Farm Fresh and Harris Teeter shoppers this morning. Maybe everyone is still recovering from Spring Break.
My first trip was to Farm Fresh. Everything should be on list 1 and list 2 matchups except for the Jose Ole and Tide Detergent. I had an old $2/1 Jose Ole printable making each box just $0.99 and a $2/1 Tide mailer coupon giving me $1.99 detergent. Also, I have the Wholly Guac on my matchups, but I got the salsa free after the same coupon. We just prefer salsa.
FREE salsa, dog treats, cat treats & Kashi cereal bars.
Total Paid: $15.10
Total Saved: $56.32
80%
My next trip was to Harris Teeter where I only used a few coupons. Again, all the matchups are on list 1 or list 2. I’m loving all the coffee sales recently! FREE butter and Neutrogena.
Total Paid: $10.33
Total Saved: $46.68

Today was not a good day for shopping. Well, it was but I was way off my game. I wasn’t thinking and bought the pop tarts at Harris Teeter instead of Farm Fresh (BIG mistake). THEN I didn’t find my 2nd Gold Peak Tea coupon until I came home from shopping. I figure my carelessness cost me about $2.50 today. On the plus side, my husband has a ton of drinks for work now. We also refill the empty Powerade bottles, so that should last us awhile.
I just have a picture of my shopping bags from Farm Fresh. Most of my purchases were staying in the garage, so I didn’t want to unload them onto the table then have to carry everything back to the garage fridge.
1 Gold Peak Tea = FREE
9 Powerade = $9
10 Fuze = FREE
2 Simply Orange Juice = $2
2 Hanover Pretzel = $1
2 Trident Gum = FREE

My first shopping trip this morning was to Food Lion to get my FREE bag of groceries. A purchase was required to get the free bag, so I bought grapes for $1.55 since it was on my shopping list already. The offer was available to the first 200 customers, so stores are likely sold out now.
I also went to Farm Fresh to take advantage of a few of the Catalina offers. The cereal is more than I would normally pay. However, I need milk later this week so I figured it was almost a wash. I was actually excited about the marshmallow deal today. I purchased Rice Krispies last week, so now I can make Rice Krispies Treats for the kids Easter parties.
Total Paid: $16 (with round up)
Total Saved $19.10
Earned Free milk CAT ($4.50 value) and (4) $1 CATS’s
