Giant Update!

 

I tried the Speed Stick Buy One Get One Free coupon at Giant tonight, but it did not deduct $3.99. It took $2.00 off my bill automatically, so I ended up paying $1.00 each for two deodorants.  

However, I have a couple more deals to post for this week:

Grande Tortilla Chips are on sale Buy One Get One Free. The regular price is $2.99, so that means $1.50 each. If you use the $1.00 coupon from the 1-15-12 Smart Source they will be .50 each!

  

Ricola Cough Drops are still 1.50 each (2/$3.00) on Real Deal until Feb 23rd, so free with the .75 coupon from the 1-1-12 Smart Source doubled.  

There are also some great deals with regional coupons that we did not receive in the Washington Post.  If you have a chance to trade for these coupons or don't mind buying them from a clipping service, then you can also do:

Old El Paso Refried Beans - $1.00

Free with .50 coupon from the 1-29-12 doubled

Barilla Pasta - $1.00 ($10/10)

Free with the .55 coupon from the 1-8-12 Smart Source (good only for the Whole Grain) doubled

Friendship Cottage Cheese -  99 cents

Free with .55 coupon from the 1-8-12 Smart Source doubled

International Delight Creamer - $1.66 (3/$5.00)

Only 16 cents after doubling the .75 coupon in Smart Source 1-8-12

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!
