Shopping Trip, January 29th: Free Pet Food & Cheap Charmin

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

I have my first noteworthy coupon haul of 2013 to share with you!

Staples:

Cheap Charmin from Staples

Total Spent: $3.98
Total Before Coupons: $13.98

So a few days ago I got a coupon in the mail for $10 off a purchase of $10 or more at Staples. This was a “Surprise coupon” that resulted from being on a variety of snail mailing lists – the coupon mentioned my blog name, so I think I might be on this list as a thank-you for a previous project? Either way, I welcome free money! I decided to go for something practical and pick up two packs of Charmin. After my coupon, I paid on $3.98 for two packs of 16 double rolls.

PetCo:

Free pet food from PetCo

Total Spent: Free!
Total Before Coupons: $2.06

PetCo is right next door to Staples in my area, so I dropped in to pick up a free can of Purina Pro Plan dog food and Friskies cat food. These coupons were both available as printable coupons from PetCo’s Coupon Page – I don’t see the dog food coupon on there now, but the cat food coupon is still available as of this writing. Note that you’ll need to be a PetCo Pals member to use these coupons – PetCo Pals is their free loyalty card. You can sign up easily and print the rewards card right from their website.

And I know what you’re thinking – “Beeb, you don’t have any pets!” No, but my Grandma has a dog and one of my best friends just had a new batch of kittens, so I picked these up for them. 🙂

Contessa Coupons

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Happy Friday everyone! Today we’re sending out congratulations to Super Coupon Girl reader Jules on winning our Contessa World Cuisine coupon giveaway. Enjoy your slew of free dinners, Jules!

My free Contessa coupon stash came in really handy over the holidays – we were invited to a New Year’s Eve party at a friend’s house, so as my contribution I picked up 6 bags of these meals so that we could cook them up at his house as a nice dinner/late night snack/carbs to absorb beer. 😉 We cooked the Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef on our friend’s wood-burning stove over the course of the evening, and it was a big hit. I hope everyone else had a nice New Year; here’s to a great 2013!
