4 Bags of Sargento Shredded Cheese for $1

If you have a Publix nearby, I would recommend checking to see if the coupons for Sargento Cheese are still available.  This week the shredded cheese is on sale for $2/bag so it will only be $0.50 after coupon.  This is a Publix store coupon so it can be combined with a manufacturer's coupon if you have it.  Make sure you look at the printable coupon carefully...  It is very specific on what cheese you must purchase.

Here's how I got 4 bags for a $1...

Sargento Cheese on sale for $2/bag
I used 4,  $1.50 off 1 Publix coupons
I used 2, $0.50 off 2 manufacturer's coupons (Sunday paper)
Final cost:  $0.25 each

Shredded cheese freezes really well so stock up!

Shopping trip to Harris Teeter, 80.8% Savings!

I apologize, this post may not be very well written.  It is late...  And I am tired.  I just wanted to get this posted so that if you're wanting to take a trip to Harris Teeter, you can do so early in the week before all the good stuff is gone.

Harris Teeter's week-long super doubles event started today (Feb 16).  Super doubles means that the store will double coupons up to $1.99 in value (example: $1.50 off coupon will be doubled to $3.00) and they take up to 20 coupons per customer, per day.  Go here to read the store's coupon policy in further detail.

I did get some junk food (right after I posted about how Matt and I don't usually eat junk on my other blog - I know, what a hypocrite) but only because it was free or incredibly cheap.  I really do try to eat healthy... Still, free food is free food.

How much did I spend?  How much did I save? 

                        My total for this shopping trip was $14.74
                         I saved $62.23
                        That's an 80.8% savings

Here's how I did it...
The coupons highlighted in red are printables (so you can save too!).  If the coupon states DO NOT DOUBLE, the store will not double the coupon.  I'm pretty sure that these are all the same printables I used (hard to tell because I printed them a while ago).

Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce: $1.25
Cinnamon Burst Cheerios: $2 - $.75 off coupon that doubled to $1.50 = $.50
Soft Scrub Gel: $1.99 - $.75 coupon that doubled to $1.50 = $.50
Ken's Salad Dressing:  $1.70 - $1 off 2 coupon that double to $2.00 = $.70 each (bought 2)

Simply Orange Juice:  $3.89 - $1 off coupon that doubled to $2.00 = $1.89

CVS Shopping Trip - $2.99 spent on $21.97 worth of items

CVS has a lot of great deals this week which was a relief to me because my extrabucks were about to expire (extrabucks have a one month lifespan).  Like I said in my other CVS post, it is best to purchase items that generate as many extrabucks as possible and to use those extrabucks to buy more items that generate more extrabucks...  And so on and so forth.  I was saving my extrabucks in hopes that there would be a week like this.

Between sales, coupons and extrabucks, yesterday I spent $2.99 for all of the items above...

...And then I received $13.58 in extrabucks.

Here's how I did it...

Item:  Herbal Essences Conditioner - 2 for $5.97
Store Deal:  Receive $2 ecb wyb 2
Coupons:  1 coupon for a free product, 1 coupon for $1 off
Final Cost: both items free

Item:  Listerine Total - $3.99
Store Deal:  Receive $2 ecb wyb 1
Coupons:  $1 off manufacturer's coupon (Sunday paper)
Final Cost:  $1

Item:  Colgate Senesitive Toothpaste - $3.79 (I purchased 2)
Store Deal:  Receive $3.79 ecb wyb 1
Coupons: $1 off manufacturer's coupon (Sunday paper)
Final Cost: Free + $1 overage

Item:  Men's Speed Stick - $2.99
Store Deal:  Receive $2 ecb wyb 1
Coupons: $0.50 off manufacturer's coupon (Sunday paper)
Final Cost: $0.50

• If this was my first purchase ever, I would have paid $13.98 out of pocket and received $13.58 in extrabucks.
• Because I have been shopping at CVS for a while now, I already had $10.99 in extrabucks from my previous trip which made my subtotal $1.55.  Because you have to pay tax on items before coupons, my grand total ended up being $2.99.

I haven't been keeping track of my CVS trips but I thought maybe I would start now.  So... Let's say this was my first trip ever and I'll post every time I go to CVS to see how much I spend vs. how much I save.

Feb.13
Total before coupons (tax included):  $21.97
Total after coupons (tax included): $13.98
Total after extrabucks used: $0
Extrabucks received: $ 13.58
Total out of pocket:  $13.98
Total out of pocket to date: $13.98

This sale will last until Feb. 19.  If you're planning on taking a trip to CVS, I would go early in the week.  They will most likely be out of these items by Thursday.
