Adventures in Couponing, December 16th, 2009


First stop, Sobeys...

Kellogg's cereal is on sale, some are 3/$9.00 and others are 3/$9.99. Either way, a good price. I picked up two boxes of Mini Wheats for hubby, then five boxes of Rice Krispies and Crispix. They all had coupons on the back, four of them being $10.00 board game coupons, the other was just a mix of various grocery stuff.

I also had coupons for a discount on milk when you buy Kellogg's cereal. Those things are golden. Love getting them!!

Anyway here's the shopping list...

Cereal $3.29
Cereal $3.00
2L Milk $3.29 - $2.00 = $1.29
Cereal $3.00
Cereal $3.00
2L Milk $3.29 - $2.00 = $1.29
Cereal $3.33
Cereal $3.33
2L Milk $3.29 - $2.00 = $1.29
Cereal $3.33
2L Milk $3.29 - $2.50 = $0.79
Bear Paws Cookies $0.99 - $0.50 = $0.49 (grabbed two of these!)
Oasis Apple Juice $2.49 - $2.49 = FREE (coupon from Cheerios)

Total of regular prices: $41.22
Total I actually paid: $29.23

If only I'd had more of the "Save $2 when you buy 2 Kellogg's cereal" coupons to take with me! LOL


Next stop, Zellers, where all board games are Buy One, Get One Half Price this week, to get some good use out of those game coupons!

Boggle: $18.99 - $10.00 coupon = $8.99
Pretty Princess: $16.99 - $8.49 BOGO - $10.00 coupon = FREE
My First Operation: $14.99 - $10.00 coupon = $4.99
Cranium Preschool: $11.99 - $6.00 BOGO - $10.00 coupon = FREE

Total ticket price with tax: $66.11
Total paid: $14.68

I did pretty good tonight, I'd say... that trip to Sobeys was more than paid for in the discounts at Zellers! And now not only am I well and truly finished with Christmas gift-buying (with the possible exception of some doodads for their stockings), I've got Cara's birthday taken care of, and a stash of gifts for upcoming birthdays well under way.
