Super Saturday Savings

Woo-hoo!!!  I am telling you I hit the jackpot this week.  Seriously, I am beyond excited about my Homeland shopping trips this week.  I got a TON of free Kraft BBQ sauce, Kraft salad dressing, and 50¢ cereal.

Shopping Trip #1

15 boxes of cereal @ 50¢ each = $7.50

8 Tombstone Pizzas @ $2.33 ea (will submit for rebate), BOGO Oscar Meyer weiners, 4 pkgs Kraft Naturals cheese @ 99¢ ea, $1.18 breadsticks, and 98¢ toast.

FREE Cascade Rinse (from the Home Made Simple booklet), $1.99 Snuggle, FREE Wet Ones, FREE Chinet napkins, and 50¢ Chinet plates.

90¢ buns, FREE Kraft BBQ sauce, FREE Kraft salad dressing, and 50¢ Dole fruit cups.

Total Value = $209.79   *   Total OOP = $45.87   *   Total Savings = $163.92 or 84%

Here are some of the items I purchased for our mission trip in a few weeks… more FREE BBQ sauce and FREE salad dressing.  I did have to pay for a few of these, but last time I checked, 79¢ for BBQ sauce isn’t a bad price.  More 90¢ buns (will freeze these), 99¢ cheese, Pork Loin for $7.15.  Not pictured – $1.69/lb ground beef; more buns, dressing, and BBQ sauce (what we do not use for the mission trip will be used for camp); 5/$12 12-pk Pepsi, and 8 pkgs of FREE Bar-S weiners.

Total Value – $107.09   *   Total OOP = $57.68   *   Total Savings = $49.41 or 47%

Shopping Trip #2

$2.99 Russet potatoes; FREE Coffeemate; $1.99 Wheat bread; $2.99/lb Chicken (used 55¢ Q that doubled!) – spent $7.60 on 3.28 lbs of skinless, boneless breasts; $3/2 Blackberries; FREE Dawn; 9¢ Dawn; and FREE Peanut Butter.

Total Value = $43.12   *   Total OOP = $19.94   *   Total Savings = $31.19 or 61%

Now.  How did I snag all of these great deals?

:: For the first shopping trip (includes the mission trip items), I hit a WONDERFUL sale at Homeland.  Homeland doubles coupons $1 and below, so that helped me save even more.  I had several $1 coupons, which led to not only free items, but overage on some items!

:: Unfortunately, Homeland is changing their coupon policy, but so far, the AMAZING cashiers at my store have been fine with my multiple transactions.  But, I ALWAYS ASK FIRST, because I do not want to cause a problem or get anyone in trouble.  I have the BEST cashiers at my Homeland, and I want them to continue to like me 😉

:: Also on the first trip, I used Amanda’s Homeland shopping list here and here (that includes links to printable coupons!) and most of my Kraft coupons from a few weeks ago.  You can still snag your Kraft Q’s on the Kraft site or on the Coupons.com site.

:: I have also requested my Home Made Simple coupon booklet.  It has $30 worth of HIGH VALUE coupons in it (that is how I got FREE Cascase Rinse… there is a coupon for it).  You can request your booklet here.

:: For the second trip, I purchased only sale items, and used Amanda’s Homeland shopping list.  I used a coupon for $1 off of Dawn from the Home Made Simple booklet.  I also used $1 coupons (from various newspaper inserts) for the peanut butter, $1 coupons for the Coffeemate, and a 50¢/1 Dawn coupon.  Everything else was on sale.
