Keebler Right Bites Try Me Free Offer!

Tonight I stopped into Giant to get some more cheap milk and cereal.   I had used up all but one of my Kelloggs Krave coupons earlier in the week, but I found some coupons for 50 cents off one box of Kelloggs Crunchy Nut at the SnackPicks website. I got:

- 1 box of Krave for $3.59 and 2 boxes of Crunchy Nut for $3.99 each = total of $11.57.

- Used 1 coupon for 70 cents off Krave and 2 coupons for 50 cents off Crunchy Nut = total of $3.40 after doubling

- Got $4.00 Instant Savings

- Paid $4.17 and got a catalina coupon for $3.75 off a gallon of milk plus 3 codes for the Spiderman free movie ticket promotion.

While I was at the store I noticed a free standing cardboard display for Keebler Right Bites and some of the boxes were marked Try Me Free! Also on the display was a tearpad coupon to save $1.50 on the cost of one Keebler Right Bites and 3 Fuze. I checked the price of Fuze and found they were on sale for $1.00 each, so I grabbed 3 and a box of Right Bites, which were on sale for $1.67. My total came to $4.67 - $1.50 coupon, so $3.17 out of pocket.

You can see on my receipt that the Keebler Right Bites normally cost $2.99 and that is the price I circled and will submit for the rebate. After rebate I will have paid 18 cents for everything!

The mail in rebate form for the Kelloggs Right Bites is located at the Snackpicks website.

My Drugstore Shopping Today!

Today, after I finished my volunteer shift at the Loudoun Interfaith Food Pantry I swung by the three drugstores in Leesburg for their special deals.  Here is what I ended up spending a total of $4.50 on:

I'm holding the Children's Miracle Network "balloon" from Rite Aid. It has $7.00 worth of Rite Aid store coupons on it that can be stacked with manufacturer's coupons. These coupon say manufacturer's coupon on them, but you can tell they are really store coupons because they begin with RC under the bar code.

At Rite Aid I got the balloon for a $1.00 donation, plus two Revlon Scented nail polishes that had been clearanced to $1.19, although they were not marked. I used 2 coupons for $1.00 off any Revlon Color Cosmetics item from the 4/1/12 Smart Source insert, so my total came to 50 cents. After I paid $1.50, I got back a $3.00 UP Reward for buying any two Revlon products!

At Walgreens I bought 4 dozen eggs, on sale 2 for $2.00. I used two 55 cent coupons that you can print here, so my total came to exactly $3.00 with tax.

At CVS I spent nothing out of pocket. I had $10.00 in ECB's that were about to expire and I needed cereal, so this is what I got:

$7.96 - 3 Kelloggs Rice Krispies and 1 Corn Flakes ($1.99 each)

$7.50 - 3 Special K cereals ($2.50 each)

$3.99 - Depends Silhouette for Women

$2.00 - 4 cans Bumble Bee Tuna (50 cents each)

------------------

$21.45 Total

I then used the following coupons:

$4.00 off 4 Kelloggs cereal printed from coupons.com

$1.00 off 3 Special K cereals printed from Kelloggs.com

$2.00 - 2 X $1.00 off 2 Bumble Bee tuna coupons from Recycle Bank

$2.00 Depend coupon printed from the Depend website

$2.00 Depend coupon printed from the CVS website

$10.00 Extra Care Bucks

----------------------

$21.00 Total

The remaining 45 cents plus tax went onto my CVS gift card and I got back:

$2.00 ECB for buying the Depends

$4.00 ECB for buying 3 Special K cereals

to use next week!

Kellogg's Gas Card Reward Program Ends

The popular rebate that Kelloggs had been offering to get back a $10.00 prepaid debit card when you send in UPC's from 10 of their "healthy" cereals has ended prematurely. The program was advertised to last until April 30, 2012 or "while supplies last". It has been so popular that Kelloggs ran out of cards to give out. Click here for more information.  Requests that were postmarked prior to April 2, 2012 will be fulfilled.

More Giant Deals for week of March 9-15

I didn't manage to get into Giant over the weekend, so today I stopped in to use the $5.00 frozen food Catalina that I received last Friday (see my post below). I bought 3 Farm Rich Appetizers and 1 Breyer's Ice Cream.

      

The shelf price on the Farm Rich items was $6.99 X 3 = $20.97. The shelf price on the Breyer's was $5.19. Together these items met the $25.00 threshold to trigger a $10.00 frozen food Catalina coupon.

However, the appetizers were on sale for $4.99 each and the ice cream was on sale for $3.00, so my total came to $17.97.

I then used three $1.00 "peelie" coupons that I found right on the package to bring my total down to $14.97. After my $5.00 Catalina was applied, I owed $9.97 plus 32 cents tax - $10.29, and I got back another $10.00 Catalina!



Farm Rich "peelie" coupon - front and back



If you can't find the packages with the "Peelie" coupons on them, there were coupons in the Smart Source insert of 11/13/12 for $1.00 off one product. There were also coupons in the Smart Source of 1/15/12 for 75 cents off one Farm Rich Product, however these coupons have fine print that say "not subject to doubling" and will not double at Giant.

Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles are on sale this week for 50 cents each, so FREE with the $1.00 off 2 coupon that was in the Smart Source insert of 3/11/12!

Beech Nut Rice Cereal (8 oz) is on sale for $1.54 a box. Use the .75 coupon here to take off $1.50 when doubled and pay 4 cents a box!

Loudoun County Times Mirror Freebies!

     I had a nice surprise when I walked out to get my newspaper this morning. The free edition of the Loudoun Times- Mirror came with a special General Mills insert and three small boxes of cereal.

Included were a box of Reese's Puffs, Dulce de Leche Cheerios, and Fiber One 80, along with coupons for $1.00 off one box of each. 

These coupons might make for some good deals next week at Harris Teeter Super Doubles.

 

The Loudoun-Times Mirror also had a preview insert of this weekend's Smart Source!

Kellogg's Cereal Rebate - Get a $10 Prepaid Debit Card!

One of the ways that I keep my grocery bill so low is by sending away for rebates and refunds on the products I buy. I especially love the ones that offer a prepaid debit card. There is no check to deposit at the bank - I just activate the card and take it to the supermarket with me.

Kellogg's has a great promotion going right now that is super easy because it doesn't require a cash register receipt. All you have to do is collect 10 UPC's from specified cereals, then send them off to get a $10 prepaid VISA card in the mail. Best of all, the limit is 5 per household, so you could end up with $50 in free groceries!

This promotion runs until April 30th and you can download the form to send in HERE

Kellgg's offered this promotion in 2011 and I did it 5 five times. I already have enough UPC's to send in and do it again in 2012!

I did have to spring for a loaf of bread with no coupons - I hated doing that, but my kids pack sandwiches for their school lunches every day, and I didn't have enough drugstore rewards to get a free loaf this week, which is my usual strategy.

Total for January to date:  $79.92

My Super Harris Teeter Doubles Trip!

E-VIC special: Honey Bunches of Oats - $1.97
- $1.00/1 Internet Printable:  Click Here
=FREE (limit 2)
These did not have a tag at my store, so I had a cashier scan them just to make sure of the price. Some folks have reported having an issue with the fact that this coupon is from the Walmart website, but it is a manufacturer's coupon and should be accepted by any store.

Pringles Stix - $1.49
- $1.00 from the Proctor & Gamble insert of 1-1-2011
-.50 ZVR
= FREE
My coupon doubled to make the Pringles Stix free, so the .50 ZVR went to other items in my basket!

Margaret Holmes Collard Greens - .67
- .75/2 from All You magazine ( December)
= FREE
(I have a subscription to this magazine, which is only sold at Walmart, but some areas also got this coupon in the Smart Source of 12-4-2011).

Smart Balance Milk (1/2 gallon) - $1.50
- .75 from the Smart Source insert of 1-8-2011
(I got this early with the "free" local newspaper)
= FREE

Barilla Whole Grain pasta  - $1.29
- $1 from the Smart Source of 1-8-2012
=  .29
(I normally never pay for pasta, but I will send off for a rebate on this to get back $1.29, so $1 profit!)

Gold Fish Bread  - $2.99
- $1 peelie coupon from Gold Fish crackers
= .99

Tampax Pearl 18-20 ct - $3.99
- $1.00 from the Proctor & Gamble insert of 1-1-2012

=FREE

Oral B Floss - $2.99
-$1.00 PG 1-1-1
-$1.00 ZVR
=FREE

Also pictured are some cute insulated lunch bags that I found on clearance for .82 each.

You need to have a VIC card in order to qualify for these prices. A ZVR is an electronic coupon that you "load" on to your VIC card from the Harris Teeter website before going to the store. It can only be used once, but will stack on top of an insert or internet coupon.

I'm looking foward to going back for more FREE MILK after my 2 Sunday papers get delivered!!
