Here is how i make gourmet food with coupons for Brie and Puff Pastry!!!

I am slacking!

I apologize for slacking with the list this week! We had a rough week with well and septic issues and financial struggles (keep up is your prayers).

I promise that next week I will be back on top of my game!

Kroger Mega Event and the rest of my shopping saga for the week :)

So we started out our weekend shopping by hitting the One Day Sale at Meijer on Saturday!

My darling husband went with me and spmehow he figured out a deal that I didn't! I was busy loading up on All detergent for $3.00-$2.00 coupons (gotta love $1 detergent) as well as cheap toilet paper and feminine care items.. while James figured out that if you bought two of any huggies, scott or kotex items that you received a $3 register reward. Well James figured out the cheapest way to get this reward was on baby wipes! I had a coupon for .50c off each one wich of course doubled, they came to only $1 each. After the reward we profited $1.00 per transaction. We then rolled the register rewards onto our cart full of one day sale items and walked out with all of our products for $10! Yay!

Sunday I went to Walgreens since I needed to use up some register rewards that were about to expire. I had ones that were $10 value so I was not letting them go unused. I tried to figure out the most creative way to use them and this is what I came up with. .. I bought a bottle of Ducolax (didn't even know what it was but I had a good coupon and a $5 rebate :) and five bottles of Tums. Came to $30 before coupons. I used coupons off of all of it plus my register rewards and it came to $2.00 and some change. I paid for it on my Flex spending card so it was pre-tax dollars for medicine. And then received two $10 register rewards back. (I only thought I was getting one so I was very happy!)

I then went back and got 3 of the packages of Huggies that were on sale for $8.99 each. Plus grabbed two chapsticks to make sure I had enough items. It came to $30 and I used coupons plus my register rewards and my total ended up being $6.13.. I paid this and I received a $5.00 register reward back from Huggies. So it was really only $1.13 oop. I love diaper deals!


Onto my Monday morning Kroger journey.... I didn't need much so I only bought what was on sale with the 10 item Mega Event! A lot of these items I needed and I had to maintain the 10 items per Mega Event so I bought 20 to ge the $10 off at the register.

Walgreen's

Buy $20 in Dayquil/Nyquil products and get a $10 RR.

Bought 4 for $5 each = $2 coupons on each = $12.

Threw in a pack of .99 gum

Then used a previous register reward to bring the total down to $0

Then received a $10 register reward in return = oop $0, made $10 profit!!!

Then on to Meijer!!

Used the new internet coupon for a free half gallon of chocolate milk when you buy two gallons of milk.

Bought 2 Meijer brand cheese singles for $2.00

Clearance Caribou coffee reg $9.98 each for $4.98 (bought two) and had a $2.00 forr coupon for each.

I also found Crystal Light on the clearance rack marked $2.36. .. ended up ringing up .98c each.

Used the $2.00 off crystal light if you bought a Nabisco 100 cal pack coupon and got 5 of each.

Also, purchased the superpretzels that were $2.00 - .50c doubled = $1.00 a box.
