My Shopping Trips (09/14)

by Dana Zeliff on September 14, 20112011-09-14
in CVS, Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, Harris Teeter Weekly Ad, My Shopping Trip

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I have lots of shopping trips to post.

Harris Teeter Triples – boy was I excited.  My coupons were ready last night, got up nice and early to do the Farm Fresh ad.  Get to Harris Teeter and the freebies are GONE 🙁

My first trip looks like a 2nd or 3rd trip.  If anyone knows how to prepare Tofu – please let me know!  This is the first time I’ve ever purchased it.

2 Tofu FREE
2 Tetley Tea FREE (whoot)
1 Mahatma rice $0.05
Krunchers Chips $0.25
3 Campbells Soup $0.60
2 BC Cake Mix/2 BC Frosting $0.82
Dial Soap $0.84
2 Smuckers Squeeze $0.35 and FREE
Chock Coffee $1.74
2 Smart Balance milk $3.48
2 Land o Lakes creamer  $1.88
1 International Delight creamer $0.22
4 Yoplait Greek $1

Total Paid $11.86
Total Saved $49.46

I picked up a few things at Farm Fresh:

2 Minute Maid Juice Box $1.98
3 Pop Tarts $3
Grapes $2.43
Asparagus $1.77
Baby Carrots $1.79

Total Paid $11.30
Total Saved $3

CVS was fantastic this week.  I can’t even remember the last time I shopped at CVS.  I had a $5 off $25 purchase coupon emailed to me and $5 ECB’s that I earned from taking a survey.  I changed my trip up when I got to the store, so I made a math error.   I also had 2 awesome coupons print at the magic coupon machine.  Overall, I was tickled with my trip.

Transaction 1
2 Air Wick iMotion
1 Air Wick Freshomatic
1 Soft Soap
1 Finish detergent
1 Dove bar (my oops)
Newspaper $2
– (3) $4/1 Airwick coupons
– $0.75 finish coupon
– $0.75 softsoap coupon
-$3 ECB – print from machine
-$5/$25 CVS coupon
– $5 ECB’s for taking survey

Total Paid $1.33
Total Saved $47.50
Earned $13 ECB’s ($1 from green bag)

Transaction 2
Ritz Crackerful
CVS Allergy
Rephresh
Bengay
gum
-$2.50 Ritz – printed from kiosk
-$5 bengay coupon
-$1 Rephresh coupon
-$10 ECB’s from transaction 1

Total Paid $1.57
Total Saved $22.79
Earned $10.48 ECB’s

Went in store with a few manufacture coupons, $5 ECB’s and a CVS coupon and left with $13.48 in ECB’s and only $2.90 OOP – with a mistake.

How did you do?

      $0.50/1 Tetley Tea, exp. 9/30/11 (ALL YOU July ’11)
      $0.75/2 http://www.tetleyusa.com/Promotions_Coupons.php

      There was also a $0.50/1 from coupons.com (I think) awhile ago that I used.

    Put the tofu in pudding 😉 there is a mix you can buy actually. My girls like the chocolate with homemade whipped cream 😉

    There was a $5 off coupon for the Tylenol Precise which made it free at FF. It was in Sundays paper and is good until the 18th.

    Thanks for this posting. I made my second trip to Harris Teeter today. I tried to pick up some cheap Smucker’s and now I’ll know for tomorrow which one to look for. The jar ones aren’t a good deal now. I hope they will have the Land O’ Lakes cinnamon butter restocked tomorrow. They were out both days so far.

      My kids love it – I bought 2 at Farm Fresh a couple weeks ago but would like to grab a couple more. My store was cleared out too.
