On our way home from WordCamp on Monday afternoon, we stopped at an Albertsons so that I could use a few coupons for products that I can’t find locally. Here’s what I got:
Total spent: $7.19
Total before coupons: $24.44 View receipt
The first thing I did was stop by the customer service desk to get an Albertsons “Preferred” club card (their version of a Safeway club card), since this was my first time purchasing anything at the store. I then bought the following items:
2 gallons of milk – I knew we would need milk once we got home, and Albertsons had it on sale for $1.50 each. Total cost: $3.00 Quart of half & half – price: $2.19 4 dozen Smart Balance eggs – I was sent 4 free product coupons for these eggs to review on Contest Corner, but they aren’t available locally; so I wanted to stop at this Albertsons to see if I could locate them. Sure enough, they had them in stock, so I bought four dozen Smart Balance eggs and used four free product coupons, making my final total for all four: Free 1 package of Nasoya tofu – I received several free product coupons in the mail for this brand ages ago, thanks to a survey I filled out. Unfortunately, every single store in my town has stopped carrying Nasoya, so I’ve been waiting for a chance to use them. Happily, Albertsons does carry Nasoya, so I bought one package of Nasoya organic tofu and used one free product coupon to make my final cost: Zero! 1 Sunday Oregonian – the store still had some papers in stock, and apparently the Oregonian only costs $2.00 in Portland, so I saved .50 cents buying it there!
This was a good example of a “Coupon Roadtrip”, which I mentioned in my “Five Strategies for Shopping Success” guest post on Money Saving Mom last year. Since we had to drive right by an Albertsons to get home from WordCamp, it made perfect sense to stop so I could use these coupons for products which I couldn’t find at home. It didn’t take any more time or gas than shopping locally would have, since we were already in the area, and I have four dozen eggs to show for it! 🙂
I also received a catalina at checkout for $4 off a $40 Albertsons purchase. The coupon expires on September 27th, and unfortunately I won’t be able to use it, since there is no Albertsons locally; so I would like to give it to someone who can use it. I will mail this coupon to the first person who leaves a comment on this post, so if you shop at Albertsons and can use this, please comment! Rachael Crosby was the first person to comment, so she wins the coupon! Congratulations! I will put this in the mail tomorrow morning.
If you’re anything like me, then you probably have a sweet tooth! So when YummyEarth Candy offered to give one of my readers a big bag of their lollipops, naturally I said “Yes” – who wouldn’t love a free bag of candy?
One Super Coupon Girl reader will win a family size pack YummyEarth Organic Lollipops, pictured above. I thought this would be a fun item for one of you to add to your stockpile! And with Halloween coming up, this could be a nice thing to pass out to trick-or-treaters. Here’s how to enter:

As you probably know, I host a lot of giveaways over at my other blog, Contest Corner. Recently, I was setting up a giveaway for Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies, and they asked if I would also like to give a second bottle away here on Super Coupon Girl. Naturally, I wasn’t going to pass up a chance to give a prize to a loyal SCG reader!

In my opinion, Super Coupon Girl readers are some of the nicest people out there. It is such a pleasure interacting with all of you! Recently, a long-time SCG reader emailed me and offered to mail me some high-value coupons that she couldn’t use, so that I could put them to use or give them away. How sweet is that?! So readers, here’s a fun little coupon giveaway for you. One winner will receive the coupons picture above: A coupon for 1 free cup of Yoplait Greek Yogurt, a coupon for 1 free Yoplait Frozen Smoothie, a bunch of coupons for 45 cents off Yoplait Greek, $1 off Stayfree, and several coupons for Procter & Gamble personal care items. Most of the coupons have long expiration dates, but the P&G coupons expire on the 30th, so this will be a quick giveaway so that I can get them out on Monday. To enter, just leave a comment on this post. That’s it!
This giveaway will run until July 25th at 11:59 PM, PST. The winner will be chosen the following day via Random.org and notified by email. Winner has 24 hours to respond, or a new winner will be chosen in their place. Giveaway is open to US residents and APO/FPO addresses.
The wait is over! Click on the “Try Me Free” tab on the widget above and enter your address to receive a coupon good for a free cup of Yoplait Greek yogurt. This offer is limited to the first 50 to respond on a first come, first serve basis.
And if all the free coupons are gone by the time you read this, then check over at Contest Corner. I’m doing a 50 coupon giveaway over there as well, so you are welcome to try your luck there if the free coupons have already been depleted here!

I do most of my shopping at Safeway, and I know this is true for a lot of you as well. Recently, I hosted a Safeway gift card giveaway courtesy of MyBlogSpark – well, it was such a success, they asked if I’d like to do another giveaway! This time, Betty Crocker, Safeway and MyBlogSpark are offering a fun baking prize pack to spread the word about a Betty Crocker cake mix sale at Safeway.
Now through April 6th, Betty Crocker SuperMoist Cake and Traditional Brownie Mixes are on sale at Safeway for .69 cents. If you visit BakeSweetMemories.com and click on “Coupons”, you can load Betty Crocker coupons directly onto your club card – one of which is for .75 cents off Betty Crocker SuperMoist Cake Mix, which ought to make it free plus .06 cents overage. I’ve loaded this coupon onto my club card, and will try it later in the week! ETA: The .69 cent sale price is only valid when you purchase 4 mixes – so if you use the .75 cent/1 e-coupon, your final total will be $2.01 for 4 of them.
Safeway and Betty Crocker also provided me with a baking gift set, a coupon for a free Warm Delights bowl, and a $25 Safeway gift card through MyBlogSpark for my participation. I already got a few good deals with my gift card over the weekend, which I’ll be recapping for you shortly. But first, let’s give away the “Spring Treats” reader prize pack!
