$$ How much did I spend? $$

I had some business to attend to in a certain area so I knew of a place to go for maybe some possible deals. So as a couponer the deals believe it or not do not always have to be at a mass retailer like Weis, Walmart, or CVS. So where did I go? More on that later.... But the real question is for all these items I handed over a $20 bill! How much did my bill come to?

Greens Ice cream is on sale 2/$5 there was a coupon in the 8/28 RP making each $2.00

Perdue Chicken strips are B1G1 and there are $1 off 1 coupons. I did buy 7 bottles of Chipotle hot sauce which had $1/2 coupon tops on some. So I got gas points for buying 7. Plus we are a HOT family so there can never be enough hot sauce here and I am pretty sure family will get some of my stash:)

Let's not even forget the easy tearpads right on the freezer door for $1/2 Red Baron full size pizzas which are on sale for 2/$7.00. So $5 for pizzas for a fast meal when time is short I will take that with all these activities with the kids time is sometimes short after all the homework, reading, and studying in our home going on. Pumpkin I will use to make pumpkins muffins for easy healthy breakfast muffins to pull out of freezer and warm.

Every item I had a coupon for bleach, bigelow tea bags for my ice tea I make. Always look at the clearance section near the bathrooms right now there are Giant brand diapers on clearance and Underjams I thinnk they are called with those and coupon can make a great deal. I always used the cheap diapers for when I was at home when they were babies if I got clearance diapers that were not as good as my beloved papmpers swaddlers or cruisers.

My total for this Giant Trip tax included: $38.00 plus received 30 gas points!

GIANT PA~ GE Energy Smart Lightbulbs (Catalina & Gas Deal)

Yesterday I went to our local Giant where I went in for 2 deals that were specifically planned out. I did change my way on this bulb deal and the cashier finally figured out what I was doing. I bought 12 GE compact lightbulbs on sale for $.99 cents each. I broke up my 12 bulbs into three boxes on belt and paid OOP for first set received my $3 CAT (catalina) and used each CAT on each transaction and paid $.15 cents each time for tax. But I did not get the 200 gas points for spending $10 so I need to go and get it straightened out. I had to get kiddos at bustop so I was in a hurry.

You can do this deal all in one transaction on these GE Energy Smart Lightbulbs that are on sale for $0.99 ea. Remember that you receive your 200 gas points when you purchase $10 worth of GE products at end of your receipt!

Buy Idea:
Buy (11) GE Lightbulbs on sale $0.99 ea.
Total $10.89 (OOP) Out of your wallet that means. Then get (3) $3.00 off GE CATS plus you should get 200 gas points.
