Giant Shopping Trip - Feb 7, 2012

Today I decided to spend $50.00 at Giant in order to use the Bonus 300 Gas Points coupon that I posted about the other day. Only I didn't want to actually spend that much, so I put together a deal with some high value coupons that I had.

 If you use the hand scanner to scan the price of items as you shop you can make sure that you get to the amount you want without going over too far. Here are my dogs Ziggy and Hugger with the items I purchased, which normally would have cost $50.26. (Ziggy is eating a dog treat that she got for posing).

I used $34.18 worth of coupons and got a discount of $4.36 from Giant because Hershey bars are on sale this week (Buy 2, Get 2 Free). So my total savings came to $38.54, which means my bill was only $11.82 plus $1.75 tax, or $13.57 out of pocket.

I could have spent less, but I really wanted that Chef Boyardee Ravioli!

If you have 2 of the coupons from the Smart Source insert of 1/8/12 to get a free Hershey's Air Delight Aerated Candy Bar free when you buy any Hershey Bar, you can get 4 chocolate bars for free at Giant this week. Two will be free from the store and 2 will be free with your coupon!

Free Hershey Bars at Safeway

Safeway has Hershey's chocolate bars on sale, Buy 2 Get 2 Free until January 31, 2012.

At some stores (Bloom and Harris Teeter) a Buy 1 Get 1 free sale really means that the item will ring up 1/2 price and you don't even need to get two. However, at other stores (Giant, Rite Aid, and Safeway) a B1G1 free sale means that the first item will ring up full price and the second item will ring up zero.

There were coupons in the Smart Source insert of 1-8-2012 to get a free Hershey's Air Delight aerated milk chocolate bar when you buy any milk chocolate bar up to $1.19. For every two coupons that you have, you can get 4 FREE candy bars! The first two are free from Safeway because of their sale and you are "paying" for the second two with your coupon.

Here is another deal I plan to do at Safeway this week. Remember back on January 8th when I told you that MyCokeRewards had an offer to get a FREE box of Triscuits, Wheat Thins or Ritz Crackers for 165 points?  Well, my coupon has already arrived in the mail and Safeway has Ritz crackers on sale B1G1 free this week, so that means 2 FREE boxes for me!
