Went over to Walgreens for the Friends and Family Day coupon.....
Well, my son needed nighttime pull ups and we were getting low. So, I decided to use the 20% off Friends and Family coupon. I went over there and I was happy to see they were on sale for $5.99! Then I looked at the coupon and saw that it said no diapers. So I went to ask if I could use the coupon on the pull ups, since they aren't diapers. As I posted in the past, my Walgreens is typically AWESOME but one assistant manager. Well, it happened to be that assitant manager on duty and when I went and asked, she didn't even look at the coupon, she just said,"NO!" and walked away.
So I put back the pull ups, except for one bag ( since I needed them) and went to the counter with my other items. When the cashier rang everything up, the pull ups got the 20% off on the coupon! I smiled and looked at the cashier and explained that the assistant manager told me,"no" but the computer just took it off. The cashier said that if the computer took it off, she would honor the coupon on the pull ups! I was thrilled and asked if I could get more, she said sure! I went back and bought 2 more packs! I told the cashier that I didn't want her in trouble and asked again if she was sure. She said,"Yes, it's not a problem. Those are not diapers."
So I am happy to have my stockpile of pull ups. I still love my Walgreens!
Here is my transaction:
3 bags of Walgreens Sleep Pants ( pull ups)
2 packs of Trident Vitalty Gum, .85 cents each after the discount coupon and I had a BOGO coupon too
Colgate, on sale for 2 for $6.00, I had $1.50 of coupons, plus I got the 15% off the discount coupon and a $4.00 RR back!
Total: $17.98 and a $4.00 RR.
I also stopped at Walmart and picked up the free easter candy with the Mars Coupons. :) Iwas all free, except for one egg. I paid $1.06 for 9 M&M filled eggs. We are ready for Easter!

They also have free shipping with a $25.00 order. So, my book order came to $23.95 with a $4.95 shipping. So, I went back and found a tote bag for $1.98 on clearance. So my order came to $7.27 for 5 books and a tote bag. I got the free shipping and one book was free. Since I have groupon credits, I didn't pay the $10.00 for the gift card. So my true OOP was the $7.27 for 5 books! YEAH! 2 of the books I have been waiting to read!

Walgreens Candy deal!!
2 posts ago, I posted about the $2.00 off 2 coupon from Mars - Snickers Candy. I also found $1.00 off 2 coupons in my Sunday Paper. I went over to Walgreens this morning and wanted to know what they would honor on those coupons if I bought the 6 or 7 Snickers candy Eggs. I also asked if I could go over the 6 limit quantity. The coupon question they couldn't answer. She told me I had to see what the register did ( I did bring my coupon policy for questions). The quantity questions they told me I could do multiple transactions, no problem. So, with coupons in hand, I did 4 transactions. I paid .62 cents OOP and got 21 Snickers Eggs and 2 packs of gum. :) It's always good to ask the store. The coupon question ended up being that I could buy 7 eggs and get the entire $2.00 off. :) I would have never picked up so many without asking, as the advertisment said limit 6. This will be the candy my kids get in their baskets.
Transaction One:
7 Snickers Eggs, .29 cents each, $2.03 - $2.00 coupon. Paid .14 cents ( because of tax)
Transaction Two:
2 Snickers Eggs. .29 cents each. .58 cents, coupon was for $1.00 but they took off the .58 cents. Paid. .03
Transaction Three:
Same as Transaction one, .14 cents (because of tax)
Transaction Four:
6 Snickers Eggs, had 3 $1.00 off 2 coupons. The first coupon she accepted for the $1.00, then on the next 2 coupons she took the .58 cents off. So, I got some overage.
2 packs of Gum, on clearance .32 cents
Total after coupon with tax: .31 cents

Great Deals at Pick N Save!
This week, starting March 17th, there are some great deals at Pick N Save. Remember, On Wednesdays and Saturdays, they double the first 5 coupons up to $1.00 on $25.00 orders. So, in order to get the best deals, you need to go on those dates and do more than one transaction. You will need the store flyer and the Cut Back Coupon Book. You will also need the store card.
Here are some of the things you can do:
One deal was buy 6 boxes of General Mills cereal and get $10 automatically off. Also, when you buy 6 boxes you will get a coupon at the register for a free Gallon of milk.
So, 6 boxes of cereal at $3.79 = $22.74
Then find 3 $1.00 off 2 coupons for the cereal.
Then use the Cut Back Coupon Book for Ronzoni Garden Delight coupon. That will give you a .98 cents package of pasta. Use the coupon from the Sunday paper a few weeks ago for $1.00 off one box of Garden Delight. So, that will be free.
so, $22.74
+ 1.99 for the Garden Delight Noodles
+ .69 candy bar filler- a filler to get to $25.00, so the coupons double ( some stores will make you do this, some don't)
- 6.00 from double coupons
- 10.00 for buying 6 boxes of cereal
- 1.01 for the Cut Back coupon book
- 1.00 from the manufactures coupon
= $7.41 for 6 boxes of cereal, box of Garden Delight Noodles and a candy bar AND the coupon for the free Milk!
Then do a second transaction:
1 gallon of milk, $2.99, Free with Coupon from the other transction
Then there is a deal, buy 3 cans of Grands Biscuits, 3 for $4.98 and you will get INSTANTLY a free dozen eggs.
4 cans of biscuits $6.64, and there are coupons out there for .50 cents off 2 cans, which will double to $2.00 off total
1 dozen eggs, $1.29, free instantly with biscuits
Then there is another deal for Chex Mix. Buy 4 bags for $7.00 and get $3.75 off Coke Products for your next shopping purchase. Then find the coupons out there for .50 cents off of 2 bags.
4 bags of Chex Mix for $7.00, then double the .50 cent coupons, so $2.00 off there
Then the next deal was buy 3 pound of chicken and get free onions, free carrots, and free mushrooms.
$8.97 for chicken
$2.49 for onions
$.99 for carrots
$1.99 for mushrooms
So Total: $32.36
- 2.99 for the milk
- 2.00 double coupons for biscuits
- 1.29 for the eggs
- 2.00 double coupons for Chex Mix
- 2.49 for the onions
- .99 for the carrots
- 1.99 for the mushrooms
OOP total: $18.61 and you will get the register coupon for $3.75 worth of coke products, which you could then do another transaction if you wanted to.
Which means for people who say you can't get anything healthy with coupons would be incorrect. I got 3 pounds of chicken, carrots, onions, mushrooms, biscuits, milk, and eggs. Not bad for under $30.00!!!
Did you see other good deals in Pick And Saves Cut Back Book? I haven't finished searching it!!
Here are some of the things you can do:
One deal was buy 6 boxes of General Mills cereal and get $10 automatically off. Also, when you buy 6 boxes you will get a coupon at the register for a free Gallon of milk.
So, 6 boxes of cereal at $3.79 = $22.74

- 6.00 from double coupons
- 10.00 for buying 6 boxes of cereal
- 1.01 for the Cut Back coupon book
- 1.00 from the manufactures coupon
= $7.41 for 6 boxes of cereal, box of Garden Delight Noodles and a candy bar AND the coupon for the free Milk!
Then do a second transaction:

Which means for people who say you can't get anything healthy with coupons would be incorrect. I got 3 pounds of chicken, carrots, onions, mushrooms, biscuits, milk, and eggs. Not bad for under $30.00!!!
Did you see other good deals in Pick And Saves Cut Back Book? I haven't finished searching it!!
Walgreens Clearance!!
I already posted about the frozen food section, but I have seen tons of posts all over the frugal blogsphere about the other clearance items too. Toothpastes, hair coloring, etc. So, if you are around a Walgreens, take you coupon binders and have some fun!! Understand that not all clearance is at every store, so this is like a fun scavenger hunt!
More coupons! Sign up for Ready, Set, Eat!!!

Old Orchard BOGO Juice Coupon!
I am on a SAVINGS high!!!
I was driving through town and I had $4.00 in register rewards that were about to expire, so I decided to stop at Walgreens, and see what they had on sale for my $4.00. I was SHOCKED to find that they were clearancing their frozen food section. They had TONS of great deals! I spent $75.00 for $314 worth of food!
Now, I had just done my big shopping trip, so my freezers were full. This also puts me at $267.09 of my $300 that I budget for the month. And it's only the 11th...so there will be very little food shopping for the rest of the month! But, I did so well my freezer is completely PACKED! I also stopped at Kmart for the Laundry deal.

Walgreens .11 cent trip!
Okay, 12 boxes of Cream of Wheat and one coloring box for my daughter! OOP .11 cents!! WOO HOO!!
Follow up from yesterday!!
I just have to praise my local Walgreens!! After calling corporate, I got a call today from store manager. She was very nice and extremely understanding. I didn't even have to explain the situation, she knew what was going on and she was very friendly. So, I went back this evening after work and got my boxes of Cream of Wheat! I am very excited because my husband loves this stuff!
As I said in my previous post, be polite and try to work with the store. Don't cheat and don't do anything to lose their trust. I love coupon shopping and I want to see it be fair for everyone!! The situation I had this weekend with Walgreens proves that you can have a great couponing relationship with a store. This also means my business will continue with Walgreens! YEAH!!

Dealing with cashiers...not always a fun experience!
Today, I had to call the corporate office of Walgreens. I don't like doing it but I was basically told at Walgreens today that my coupons would not be honored. The cashier was nice enough but when the register wouldn't accept the coupon ( it was scannable but the register wouldn't take it), she got the assistant manager who tried to do the same thing and the computer/register would not accept the coupons. Now, from my couponing experience, I know you can over ride the computers. I also know that this assistant manager was "playing dumb" because she acted like I had no idea what I was talking about when I said you can override the computer because the coupons qualify for the product. She left me with the choice of buying the product outright or leaving without. I decided to leave without my products. As soon as I got to the car, I pulled out my Walgreens coupon policy, read it to make sure I was in the right, then called corporate. The corporate office said that they would contact me in two business days to settle the matter. I am now waiting to see what happens.
Dealing with managers and cashiers can be fusterating sometimes. I have had my share of battles, but I have won almost every time. Coupons are like cash! The stores get reimbursed. So, if you are honoring the coupons limits, expiration dates and the stores coupon policies, there should be no reason that you shouldn't get the deal. I am surprised by how many stores give couponers a hard time! Why? We bring you LOTS of business and buy tons of products from you. I also am surprised by how often the cashiers act like we are stealing from them! For new couponers, this is tough to deal with! Trust me, you are not stealing! Again, you are use the coupons within the rules, then you are getting good deals and using your good sense to gain those good deals, you are doing NOTHING wrong!!
So, tips for dealing with the cashiers.
1. Stay calm, Stay firm. You can't win the battle if you behave in a disorderly manner.
2. Reread the coupon for the cashier, show them what you bought and reaffirm that you have the right items.
3. If they still refuse, you need to make a decision. Is it worth the fight to get the store manager? Most of the time I say yes, I will go to the store manager.
4. If the store manager is no help, contact the corporate office. They don't want to hear that you were not helped in a manner that shows good customer service. Again, be polite, stay calm and stay firm. You attract more flys with honey than with vinegar!
5. Seek a resolution. Decide, once you call corporate, what will make the situation better. I always have a "goal" when I call the corporate office. My goal could be " I want an apology from the manager and for them to accept the coupons". Understand that you shouldn't let them know this until they ask. WHY? Because their solution to the situation MAY BE better than your goal. Last time I had a problem at Kmart, I called corporate and explained. I got a $25.00 gift card and an apology! That was more than I was hoping for!
6. Finally, if the situation is not resolved, you have a decision to make. You can let it go or try to contact corporate again for an explaination. I have actually boycotted stores due to poor service and I have used this blog and other platforms to let people know what stores to shop at.
Each situation is different and you have to look at it on a case by case basis, but most of the time, cashier issues can be dealt with quickly without much hassle. How can you prevent coupon issues at the check out? Make sure you have a copy of the coupon policy, and if you know of a cashier that is good, pick that lane!

So, total OOP today ( this morning and this evening) was $171.76 and I am getting $32.00 in rebates. If you add up all the meals I need to make/have on hand, it would be 102 meals, or $1.69 a meal ( approx.). Also, I know some of you will ask, "Doesn't driving around waste a lot of gas?" Well, we spent $9.03 in gas. Which means that it was worth the driving around. :)
Stay Frugal! Happy Shopping!
First Half of the Big Shopping Trip Done!
Okay, we are home having lunch. We are heading out again for the afternoon.
So far, we stopped at 2 locations.
First Piggly Wiggly. They had 10 pounds of chicken for .49 cents a pound! YEAH! They also had the 10 items for .69 cents each. So, OOP was $18.70. And I got:
10 pounds of chicken
4 boxes of Sausage Links
2 bottles of Ketchup
3 cans of Manwich
3 cans of Chef Boyardee
3 boxes of Swiss Miss Cocoa
5 Banquet Microwave Meals
Second Stop was Pick N Save. They have double coupons on Saturdays, so I did 6 transactions. Before coupons it was $160.30 and OOP was $51.30.
Here is what I got:
12 Jack's Pizzas
2 packages of Wasa Crisp Crackers
2 loafs of bread
3 boxes of Quacker Oatmeal Squares
15 bags of Frozen Veggies
1 box of Blue Bunny Ice Cream

Planning a Big Shopping Trip...
I have NOT done a massive shopping trip in a long, long time. We have been eating down our stockpile and only doing a few trips to double coupon saturdays at Pick N Save. So, today I started planning my grocery shopping trip, I plan to go tomorrow. I know prices are high, so I am going to have to really be careful.
I will spend most of my day tomorrow going to 4 different grocery stores. They are all very close to each other, so I can save on gas. My goal is to spend $300 and get 4 weeks worth of meals ($75.00 a week). My stockpile is still full of cleaners, pet supplies, health and beauty things, so this is strictly a food trip. I need to have enough meals to get through until April 1st. So, that includes 7 breakfasts ( on weekends) and 15 quick breakfasts for my husband and myself ( kids get breakfast at school); 7 lunches ( on weekends) and 15 lunches at work ( again kids get lunches at school) and 27 dinners.
I will keep you posted on how I do. Unfortunely, due to how tight money is for us right now, some meals will not be the healthiest of meals. It's just the way it has to be, we are strapped for cash and my stockpile is very low!
