now that doubles are over...what are you....

[bostonsmama]

using your $5 coupons on? I have a $5/$5 and a $3/$3 and I'd really like to make the best of them, lol. Ideas??

I got some of the bounty basic paper towels with my $5 red cats. They are on sale for $6.50, used $1/1 coupon and paid 50 cents for 8 rolls!

My sister got the 24pk coke, had $1 peelie on it so after Q and $5 it was only 6cents.

I used some of mine yesterday.

I got:

kraft cheese ~ blocks and slices ($1.67 blocks and $2 slices - (2) $1/2 only 1 doubled properly though, the other doubled to $1.67 total, must have been coded off 1 not 2)
shake n bake type seasonings ~ different brand ($2.29 - .75/1 doubled)
benadryl for DS (used $5 off and a $1 OYNO)
shower puffs ($1 OYNO)
glade fabric refresher stuff (used bogo coupon as well as $5 cat)
reese dark cups (needed a filler item!LOL)

I think something else as well. But I was also able to double coupon on the cheese and shake n bake stuff since it was SuperK and yesterday was the last day of doubles there.

:BigHand:I get the small Gain (40 loads) for 5.19. Only pay .19!

I get a few things I need. Milk, bread, eggs. I throw in some gum clearanced at $.20 and my totals have been around $.09. Not too shabby and it gives me more room in my food budget.

I purchased 2 borax boxes because I can never get coupons for those and make my own laundry soap.

I used my $5 cat to buy 6 bags of the $3.99 Chef Michaels dog food for my little brother's puppy. With the $3/1 insert q's, ended up being $1 for the six bags.

I let my mom use the $3 cat on a really cute throw blanket (that are the perfect size for plane/train trips!). Was clearanced to $4, so got it for $1 as well.

I used a few of the $5 Beauty/Edible/Consumable cats on the Maxwell House coffee large canisters that were on sale for $5.99. I paid .99 for each canister. I thought that was pretty good since the sale included the bold coffees which we like.
The others I used for snacks for the kids lunches, the Rite Bites 100 cal snacks were 2/$4 and there were $1/2 Ip's, plus $2 off a gallon of milk wyb 2 Rite Bites.
There were also Nabisco 100 cal snacks which were marked down for clearance, and I had $1/2 q's. I found the Chex 100 cal snacks at $2, so I got two of those and a bag of Chex mix which was $1.50. After the .50/2 mfr, the order came to $5 exactly. I tried to get things that we actually needed.
