Thank you Janet for sharing your pics and knowledge with all of us.


9/2/10 SNS trip

I am going to try and keep it simple, list all the basics and then maybe we can discuss any questions that come up. Knowing that Labor Day brings good sales, I started planning last month and with the last minute deals that came up some plans changed.






I am going to list all items purchased then each transactions total. This was seven (7) trips and each beginning total was a little over $50.00 each time. I heavily stocked up on some items and was able to get other items that I actually needed now (kitty litter, etc).

10 20 oz Cokes
32 Cans of Progresso Soup
15 Bags Kraft Shredded cheeses
5 blocks Kraft cheese
7 Betty Crocker Potato Pouches
6 Libby's Green Beans
3 Libby's Sweet Peas
4 Johnsonville Smoked Cheddar Brats
9 Toaster Strudels
3 Pillsbury Sweet Moments
1 pk Celery Hearts
1 jar Taco Bell Sauce
3 pks Ribs (6.21, 5.75 & 5.58)
1 pk Ribeyes (13.42)
1 pk Ground Beef(4.98)
1 jug Tidy Kitty Litter
6 cans Purina kitty food
10 Purina Friskies kitty treats
1 pk Dixie bath cups
1 box Quaker oatmeal
1 box Entemanns donuts
1 Almond Snicker Bar
AND 60 12 pks Varies soda (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite etc.)

Transaction #1 $1.57
Transaction #2 $1.04
Transaction #3 $1.79
Transaction #4 $1.70
Transaction #5 $3.07
Transaction #6 $7.85
Transaction #7 $5.16

Started with $23.00 in Cats
OOP: $22.18 (7.76 was tax)
Have $17.00 in Cats left to roll and play over the next week =)

Picture #1 (Back of truck) shows transactions 1-5
Picture #2 (kitchen counter) shows transactions 6 & 7

Almost every item had a coupon to go with it. I have only been couponing since 2008 and only within the last year I have been able to make the most out of my Shop n Save trips when they have a -$10 off $50 Thursday. I buy one newspaper a week, get a few from people I know and I trade for others.

Also some of you might be able to go outside the box and barter for items you need. In picture #3 there is 15 lbs of ground beef and six dozen farm fresh eggs that I was able to barter my extra items (ziplock bags, conditioner, cheese nips and Emerald peanuts) to a lady we know who owns a farm. =)

My plans are by far not perfect but they work for my families needs.
