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.

Food Lion Shopping Today!

Yesterday I received coupons in a trade for $1.00 off 1 Kraft Homestyle Macaroni & Cheese in the mail, so I took off to shop at Food Lion. The mac & cheese was on sale 3/$5.00 or $1.66 each, with a Big Deal discount of $5.00 when you buy 10 in one transaction. When I got to the store, I found that the mac & cheese had "peelie" coupons to save $1.00 on a box of Stovetop stuffing when you buy a bag of Kraft Homestyle. The Stovetop was on sale for $1.50 a box. I impulsively decided to buy 10 boxes of that as well, then threw in a 3 lb. bag of onions on sale for $3.13 that I needed for dinner.

Here you see the groceries that I got for a total of $10.55, including tax. I paid for most of it with my prepaid debit card from the Kelloggs gas card deal, so my out of pocket expense was only $2.54!

Also in the photo, you can see the ticket I received for "spending" over $20.00 this week at Food Lion. You can read more about the ticket and how to use it for a $10.00 savings on your groceries here.

Today, April 10th, is the last day of the Big Deal.

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!

This month I averaged $38 per week! I received a prepaid gift card in the mail for Rite Aid from a previous refund that absorbed most of the tax on my purchases there in February. I used some of my coupons for free 12-packs of Coke at Rite Aid to take advantage of their promotion to earn $1.50 in UP rewards when you buy 3, so that was a money maker. I also stocked up on free milk at Harris Teeter Super Doubles and splurged on some fresh produce. I am now slowly building a stockpile of candy for upcoming Easter baskets!

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!
