$143 worth of free groceries from Tops

I went to Tops this morning (a chain grocery store here in Upstate NY) and I did GREAT!

I had these coupons for Marcal paper products for a couple of months but couldn't find anyone who carried these products and the coupons expired this month. I was afraid I was going to have to thrown them away (didn't want to do that) and Tops just started carrying these this week and had a big sale on them! So I scored big time on them! I had coupons for FREE paper towels, toilet paper and tissues, and many $1 coupons on the multi packs.

And if anyone is wondering what I do with all this stuff - some is for me, some I donate to a Hospice House for the terminally ill in my town, and I also send care packages to the troops through www.anysoldier.com.

Here's what I got in paper products:

4 Single rolls of paper towels = FREE
4 boxes of Tissues = FREE
(3) 8 pk rolls paper towels = $4 ea
(9) 12 pk rolls toilet paper = $4 ea
(3) packages of Napkins = $1




Here's what else I got at Tops:

10 Electrasol dish tabs = 79¢ ea! (had ten $2.50 coupons!)
Uncle Bens rice = 50¢ ea
Carefree pads = on clearance rack for $1.50, had Q for $1/2 = $1 ea
Brut deodorant = 70¢
Ken's dressing spray = $1
Hefty bags - had 20¢ peelie on it & 55¢ coupon (both doubled!) = 69¢
Betty Crocker potatoes = $1
Purex = $2
Capri Sun juices = $1.25 ea
Welches juices = had BOGO coupons & $1.50 coupons, pd $1.59 & $1.35 ea
Mighty Dog 12pk = $4.99
Arm & Hammer Essentials = $1 ea
Better than Ears dog treats = $1.29
Keebler cookies = $1 ea

My total bill was $241.75 before coupons - and I ended up paying just $98 after coupons!

$44 worth of FREE STUFF from Walgreens

I went to Walgreens yesterday and received $44.32 worth of merchandise for $5.85 out of pocket. And there were rebates on some of those items, which brings my grand total to $2.85!

Here's what I purchased:

3 Oust sanitizers = $2.99 - $2.00 Coupon - $1.00 rebate (x3) = (-)1¢ ea
2 Duracell 4pk batteries = $4.99 - $2 Walgreen coupon - $1 coupon = $1.99 ea

Today's out-of-pocket = $5.85
After rebates = $2.85
Savings: $44.32

Week of 4/5 - $88 worth of free groceries from Walmart!

So this week is almost over but I wanted to show you some examples of some of the HOT deals we got this week on grocery items at Walmart. Now, we shop at several different stores and get deals at all of them but since there's a Walmart practically everywhere now, I'll show you some examples of great deals we got this week. (The above photo also includes free or next-to-free groceries we received from other stores)

(8) Kraft Salad Dressing = 8¢ each
(12) Palmolive dish detergent = 50¢ ea.
(21) Suave shampoos & cond. = 40¢ ea.
(10) Speed Stick Deodorant = 50¢ ea.
(10) Suave Deodorants = 50¢ ea.
(5) Colgate toothpaste = FREE
(10) Toothbrushes = 50¢ ea.
(5) Halls cough drops = 32¢ ea.
(5) Quaker Rice snacks = 68¢ ea.
(2) Oust Air Fresheners = 50¢ ea.

That is $121.32 worth of groceries that I paid $32.64 for! That is $88.68 worth of groceries I received for free.

Are you wondering how? Ok, I'll spill, since this is what this site is about! Sharing secrects to help YOU save money on your grocery bills! Keep in mind I purchase several Sunday papers every Sunday so I'm able to get many of the same coupons.

• Kraft Dressing was on Rollback pricing for $1.58 each. In last Sunday's paper there were coupons for $1.50 off of one. That made the dressing 8¢ each!
• Palmolive Detergents were priced at 99¢ each. I had coupons for $1 off of any 2. That made them 50¢ each.
• Suave shampoos & cond. were priced at 97¢ each. I had coupons for $1.75 off any 3. That made them 40¢ each.
• Speed Stick Deodorant - if you look at them on the shelf you'll see most are priced at $2.49 or a similar price. However, if you look very closely at each and every shelf tag you'll notice there are usually 1 or 2 scents that are discontinued or marked down to $1. I had coupons for $1 off any 2. This made them 50¢ ea.
• Suave Deodorants just like the Speed Stick Deodorants above - I found the ones marked down to $1, and with my $1 off any 2 coupons it made them 50¢ ea.
• Colgate Toothpaste The coupons said "$1 off any Colgate Toothpaste" and did not say you had to purchase a certain size. Walmart has the 4oz tubes marked at $1. With the $1 coupon that made them FREE!
• Colgate Toothbrushes were marked at $1 each. Coupons were for $1 off any 2 which made them 50¢ ea.
• Halls cough drops were priced at $1.32 per bag. Coupon was for $1 off any bag. This made them 32¢ ea.
• Quaker Rice snacks were priced at $1.68 each. Coupon was for $1 off 1. This made them 68¢ ea.
• Oust Air Fresheners were priced at 99¢. Coupon was for "buy one get one free". This made them 50¢ ea.

Not bad for the cost of a few Sunday papers huh?
