10% off (?) day at Sobeys $125.25 -> $27.76 oop I like this math :)

[wendyjane]

10% off day today at Sobeys (first Tuesday of each month in MB) I save my higher value and fpc coupons for this day.
I bought:
a bag of potatoes, a head of broccoli, 3 cukes, 2lbs bananas(fpc from kelloggs promo), 3x 24paks freezies, 3x 1lb gala apples(fpc wub nutrigrain tearpad), 6x boxes nutrigrain bars(3x $1 and 3x .50), box of great grains cereal(fpc), smartfood popcorn(fpc), powerade drink(fpc), 6pak iced tea(fpc), oasis juice(fpc), tin of peaches(fpc), old dutch chips, 8x frozen juices($1 wub 2 tearpad), 2x loaves dempsters bread(b1g1 and $1 off), 3x tubs of blueberries, 2x 1lb bags baby carrots(.75 fresh produce from ziploc), tub of yogurt(fpc), 4x ears of corn(.75 fresh produce from ziploc), 2x super fresh local tomatoes, carton of silk beverage(fpc), 2lb pak of peppers and one of those precooked BBQ chicken.
= $125.25 - 10% (12.53) - coupons(54.96) - points redemption 3750pts (30.00) = grand total oop $27.76
My cart was full and I brought my mom along for the first time and she left the store pushing the cart with a great big grin, once home announced to my dad how much we spent this morning. Love sobeys! Love coupons - love saving! Thanks for reading W

Great shopping!

I don't have enough to buy at Sobey's this week to hit the $35 to get the 10%, but instead will be doing Extra Food tonight for theirs, because I have more to buy there - so I'll get 12% off $50.

awesome shopping wendyjane! Can I come with you next time. I never go to sobeys.
what coupons did you use. I saw the nutrigrain/apple one, oasis, frozen juice...but what else?
also, do you find the prices are comparable to RCSS? I am just wondering if it is cheaper with the 10% or not??

Sure! I just keep my fpcs in one pile and when it comes time for 10% off day I rifle through and see what expires soon/what I need and make my list and go. Seems to work out fine.
Are you going to double coupon day at PS Oakbank or Beausejour? come to that with me!
