One benefit of having an awesome stockpile is that for the last few weeks, I only really HAVE to buy milk, eggs, butter and yogurt. Pretty sweet. Costco has the best prices for that stuff but Giant Eagle had a few good deals this week worth checking out.
A few weeks ago, the Pssst program through General Mills sent me a ton of coupons for Yoplait Smoothies. I had no idea what the program was when I signed up, but now I'm glad I did! One was for a free Yoplait Smoothie so I grabbed one to try out. I wasn't very excited about it after trying the Yoplait Whips a few months back (those were disgusting!) but the smoothie was deLICIOUS!!! I have been waiting to use the rest of the coupons when the smoothies went on sale and they finally did!
HIGHLIGHTS:
Frozen veggies: $0.50 each (Saved $1.19 each)
Smoothies: $1.25 each (Saved $2.04 each)
Creamer: $2.00 for 2 (Saved $5.18)
I spent a total of $37.93 and saved $46.63!! That's 55%! Yup! I still got it!
Glad to see you haven't lost your edge!
ReplyDeleteThere is a nice article over at wired.com about "The Coupon Revolution":

as much as i like to, i can't seem to get this coupon thing down. I get a few cents off but i never get massive deals like that.
ReplyDeleteyou did great though.
Good job with your savings! A lot of littles make a lot, so even if you're only saving a few cents at a time like Kim above, it's a start! I must get better about looking out for the coupons and sales combos. I usually clip out a ton of coupons, forget to bring them to the store or realize they're expired when I finally do remember to bring them. It feels so good to see the savings in the end.
