November 5, 2014

Went shopping with two of my sisters tonight! I was disappointed for the first time with my Harris Teeter trip, but I returned to get the mistakes corrected and now I am more than happy!

Here's the break down:

3 Betty Crocker Instant Potatoes- $1.19 each ($3.58 for 3)
- used .50 cents/2 coupon (doubled)
- $3/3 zvr
- $3 saving star deposit (This was a little surprise!)
Total = $3.43 cent MONEY MAKER!

Tide Pods- $5.99 (on sale for $4.99)
- $2 coupon
- $2 zvr
Total = .99 cents

2 Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste- $2.59 each ($5.19 for 2) 
- used two .50 coupons (both doubled) 
Total = $3.19 for 2
*Corrected Item-
2 Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste- $1 each ($2 for 2)
- used 2 .50 cent coupons (doubled)
Total = 2 FREE!
(These items rang up different prices then marked on the shelf. I got refunded the entire $5.19 plus tax, actually making the toothpastes money makers!)

Meta Fiber Bar- $1.99
- used $1/1 coupon
- $1 zvr
Total = .01 cent MONEY MAKER!
*Corrected Item-
Meta Fiber Bar- $1.89
- used $1/1 coupon
- $1 zvr
Total = .11 cent MONEY MAKER!
(I was refunded $1.99 plus tax for this item that also scanned as the wrong price, making it a greater money maker as well!)

3 Green Giant Steamers Vegetables- $1.67 each ($5 for 3)
- used .60/3 coupon (doubled)
- used .60/3 zvr
Total = $3.20 for 3 ($1.07 each)

Total I paid in the store = $7.86 (tax was .93 cents)
*After a $7.67 refund for incorrect prices and the $3 Saving Star rebate I didn't catch, the corrected GRAND TOTAL = -$2.83 MONEY MAKER!
All items were free and I actually made money off the transaction! Although it was inconvenient to go back for a refund, it was definitely worth it! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Stop two was a much better experience!
 Walmart:

Cascade Dishwasher Action Pacs- $3.00
- Mail in rebate for $5 prepaid card
Total= $2 MONEY MAKER!

Watermelon- $3.48
Green Grapes- $3.58
- .25 cent Snap by Groupon deposit 
Total = $3.33
Bananas- $1.19
- .25 cent Checkout 51 deposit 
- 20% off Saving Star deposit (.24 cents)
Total = .70 cents
- Mail in rebate $5 back for fresh fruit purchase
$7.51 - $5 = $2.51 
Total = $2.51 for all 3 items
(Still got the cantaloupe and honeydew melon from this weekend! Fruit salad here I come!)
*Savings Catcher found a better deal on grapes. I got .71 cents back! Making my total $1.80 for all 3 items!

Tabasco sauce- $1.34
- $1 coupon
Total = .34 cents

Ground Beef- $5.98
(Need this for dinner!)

Total paid at the store- $18.09
Tax- .52 cents
Grand total after rebates- $7.60!
(Not too shabby for $6 of that being the hamburger meat!)
