As I mentioned last week, MyBlogSpark recently sent me a $30 Fred Meyer gift card so that I could use it during the Mega Savings Event. Unfortunately, my local store decided not to participate in the promotion, so I wasn’t able to check out the deals; so instead, I thought it might be fun to see what kind of deals I could get on the same items by matching coupons with the regular sale prices. I also picked up some things I needed for my trip. Here’s how I did:
Total spent: $9.67 out of pocket, put $30 on my Fred Meyer gift card from MyBlogSpark
Total before coupons: $53.50
My scanner is still out of commission for the moment, so I will upload this receipt as soon as it’s back up and running.
Got:
1 4lb bag of sugar – the huge bag of sugar that I bought in December finally ran out, so I bought some more! Price: $1.99
A 4-pack of Fiber One yogurt – on sale for $2.69, used a $1.00 off 1 printable. Final price: $1.69
A 4-pack of YoPlus yogurt – on sale for $2.49, used a $1.00 off 1 printable. Final price: $1.49
A 4-pack of Yoplait Delights – on sale for $2.89, used a $1.25 off 1 printable. Final price: $1.64 (You may remember this yogurt from my V-log about it!)
2 packages of Toaster Strudels – on sale for $2.00 each, used a coupon for $1 off two Pillsbury frozen food items from this month’s issue of the Pillsbury “Pot Pies and Casseroles” recipe magazine, which I received from MyBlogSpark. Total cost: $3.00
1 box of Chex Mix bars – on sale for $2.50, used a printable coupon for .60 cents off one box. Final price: $1.90
1 cup of Yoplait Whips yogurt – on sale for .75 cents, used a free product coupon that I received in the mail. I’m not sure where this came from, but I think it was from a special promotion to do with registering for the Betty Crocker newsletter. Final price: Free!
1 box of gluten-free brownie mix – on sale for $3.99, used a free product coupon from the offer I mentioned last month. Final cost: Free!
1 package of “Simply…” refrigerated cookie dough – on sale for $3.49, used a free coupon that I received from MyBlogSpark for an upcoming review on Contest Corner. Final price: Free!
2 bags of Nature Valley Nut Clusters – on sale for $2.50 each, used two $1/1 coupons that were sitting on the shelf right next to them. Total cost: $3.00
1 Twix bar – used a free chocolate bar coupon that I won in a giveaway from Psychic Mama Indigo Child! Thanks again! Final price: Free
1 birthday card – for a party that I’m going to in San Diego! Price: .99 cents
1 bottle of Satin Care shave gel – I just ran out of shaving gel for the first time in a year. I stockpiled a whole bunch of it with some awesome coupon deals last summer, and haven’t needed to buy any until now. This is one of two brands of shaving cream that don’t give me a rash, which is why I always buy this particular kind! Price: $2.79
1 travel-sized bottle of Alba shaving cream – this would be the second brand! Since I’m flying, I need a non-aerosol shaving cream to pack in my suitcase. I’m only taking a carry-on, so it also has to be under 3 ounces. So, this fit the bill! Price: $2.49 – almost as much as the full sized bottle of Satin Care!!
1 tube of Wet ‘N Wild lip gloss – I was running low on lip gloss, and I really like this kind. Price: $3.99
2 packages of floss – price: $1.29 each. We were out, so I bought two packages – one for me to take with me, one to leave home for Jai! Total cost: $2.58
1 box of trash bags – out of these, too! Price: $3.63
