Mama's Shopping Trip Results: $31.55 in product for only $11.25!



This week I was able to make a few quick shopping trips. I actually managed to get to Shaw's, Walmart, Target, AND CVS! This almost always never happens. I'm usually lucky to get to CVS by the end of week. Below I have outlined what I bought and which coupons were used at each store.

My total spent at all four stores before coupons was $31.55 (this actually would have been $47.50 had I not shopped during a sale). My total after coupons (and ECBs) was only $11.25! While this may not be 'extreme' it still is a savings of over 60% on products that my family does and will use everyday!

Shaw's
1 Fresh Lemon $0.59
2 Barilla Whole Grain Pasta on sale at $1.00 each = $2.00
2 Thomas Bagels on sale Buy 1, Get 1 FREE $4.69 for both
3 Polar Springs Seltzer Water 6-packs on sale Buy 1, Get 2 FREE $3.99 for 3
Total before coupons $11.27

I then used the following coupons...
FREE Fresh Lemon Shaw's coupon
$1/2 Barilla Whole Grain Pasta printable
Final cost after coupons only $9.68!

$2.35 is still more than I usually like to pay for bagels but they are my hubby's absolute favorite brand so I try to grab them on sale when they're Buy 1, Get 1 or sometimes Buy 1, Get 2 FREE! I was also wicked excited about the Polar Springs find as it was not originally on my shopping list. I normally buy the stores "off brand" at $0.25 a can, with this deal I was able to score "name brand" (normally around $0.40 a can) for only $0.22 a can!
