I was giddy opening my paper this morning and seeing $0.79lb Perdue Oven Stuffers. That is my preferred chicken and under $0.99lb puts me in a happy place. Silly, I know. These will feed us for at least 4 dinners each plus cooking in the crock-pot I don’t heat up my house with the oven on for 3 hours!
Did you do the Gift Card Promo? I was at Mt. Pleasant and the Home Depot and Barnes & Noble Gift cards are triggering the $20 CAT! I didn’t have that cash with me, but I hope to go back up tonight with my house fund to buy gift cards. If you have older kids, you can tuck the i-Tunes gift cards away for Christmas.

I’m doing shopping for the week since we still have fresh fruit left over from last week.
How did you do?
Teach me!!!! That is GREAT!! I want to help bills at home and donate to the local food pantry as well. Congrats!
I saved $218, spent $124 that’s shopping for about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks 🙂
Yay Heather!
Oh and my best transaction yesterdays trip was saved 62 and spent 17, so about what you did.
You did a great job…My total today before saving was $67.67 after coupons it was $20.20 (67 % savings) and i paid $3.40 per gallon of gas. Keep up the great work, I love your page.
Glad you like it!
Great trip! I love the extra savings on gas too. The discount you get is based on your before coupon total, so I save a lot more
Yes, you did a great job. I paid $20.02 saved 66% or $36.95. I was scared for a moment because the register messed up ( i dont think it double the coupons). But with patience we got it all straight
Glad they got it all straight for you! Most FF locations are happy to help
I know I always get nervous at checkout but so far so good. How long have you been couponing?
I have been couponing for 2months now not long. And yeah normally I dont have a problem, but for some reason the register had to act up with me. I am starting to get excited because I am building a stockpile slowly but surely.
Great job! I can’t wait for my friends to sign up for Farm Fresh online, so I can get those 5 $5 off $25.
Just remember that they each expire in 1 week. Great savings to add when you need to buy meat though
I recently came across your site as I became a coupon shopper when I left my job to move with my husband to Virginia and I was shocked that none of the grocery stores I shop at on the west coast are even in neighboring states. Your site has made it so much easier to transition and keep the coast of groceries down for our family. I saved 76% today at Farm Fresh! That’s more than I usually save shopping on base! Thank you very much for all the work you do and sharing it!
Glad you like the site! I can usually save more by shopping sales with coupons outside. The Commissary consistantly has good produce and meat prices though.
I did pretty good today too, saved 51%! I was wondering, why do you like Perdue chickens? I haven’t noticed a difference in taste between the brands, so I was just curious.
One of my things, I guess. I don’t like Tyson. It seems like a tougher meat to me. Although, it’s been about 2 years since I’ve purchased it.
I will buy store brand when I can get a good deal. I have a ton of mark down chicken from FF and HT in my freezer, but I like the taste of Perdue the best.
I don’t think I’ve ever had Tyson chicken!! I always buy the store brand b/c it’s cheaper — but this week the Perdue was SO cheap. I’ll let you know what I think. (It’s in my freezer for now too)
SOOO frustrated at FF tonight. There were at least 10 other couponers at the store tonight and the things I wanted for the Box Tops deal were all gone… went to another FF and they were out, too. I’ve been couponing for almost 2 years and it’s never been this bad. It stinks for those of us who work during the day & can’t get the deals 🙁
Yep, I was at the store at 8:30 and all the Old El Paso Taco Seasonings were almost gone. You could still get the Cheesy and Hot. They were starting to run low on a few other things already and some of the lunchables were already out.
Dana, or anyone for that matter!…this is a random spot to post this…but I notice that everyone might be around the same area on here and I was just wondering if anyone knows WHO ON EARTH sells those cans of Seattle’s Best??? The ones that had the coupon for a free one in the paper sunday? I’m in Virginia Beach…and I can’t find these things anywhere!
Thanks guys!
Not at Target and I didn’t see it a FF either. I forgot to look at CVS. I heard WAGS has it, but I don’t have it confirmed yet. I’m hoping more stores will pick it up before the coupon expires.
Hey where is everyone getting the lunchable coupons? I would love to try there new ones.
Some regions got them in the inserts (I didn’t) and there was printable available on coupons.com about a month or so ago. I was still holding onto my printable. Good thing the sale came up as it expired on the 14th.
@ Christina, I ended up buying 4 of the “adult” lunchables at FF on Wednesday and they are SO good!
Hi,
I’m new to couponing. What is “Gift Card Promo” that Dana mentioned at the beginning of the post. Any info would be great!
Thanks!
