May 27, 2008 - Shopping with Patricia

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take a new friend from Channel 13 news in Houston around and show her how all the couponing is done. We went to Super Target and then to Kroger. I wanted to show her that you still can eat healthy while using coupons.
Target
4 Johnson Buddies soaps used $5/5 target coupon
1 Purell hand sanitizer used $5/5 target coupon and $1 mfg
6 Silk Soy milk used $2.25 IP on all that I traded for
2 Morningstar Farms used $2/2 Target coupon and $1 mfg
6 Archer Farms coffee used $1 Target coupon
1 Stoneyfield Farm tub used free item coupon

| | That's so awesome! I wish I could go shopping w/you at your Target. We don't have a "super" target so the frozen items are limited. How much did you get the Morningstar items for, were they clearanced? |

| | I just love reading your blogs and seeing how much you save. Too cool. Keep up the good work! :) |

| | the MSF items were I think $2.99 each, but there is a $2/2 target coupon and also $1 mfg IP for them making them 99¢ each...we LOVE those! |

| | Outstanding! Can't wait to watch the video. ![]() Where are you going to put all the yogurt and Silk? Does soymilk freeze well? |
Posted 05-29-2008 at 03:26:33 AM by austinmomto2 |
| | No I don't think it would freeze well, but organic soymilk and yogurt has long expiration dates. The shelf stable soy milk that I got does not expire until December. The refrigerated milk expires in July and the yogurt at the end of June....so we are good to go! |

| | You didn't get back the $5 OYNO with the yogurt? Is that over. Congratulations by the way. |

| | the $5 ONYO ended that day, the cat did not print, and I guess they knew it would not, so they took $5 off my order that I bought them on! Even better, lol! |

| | Great job, it is great to see folks saving on healthy and organic foods. It can be done. Those hot dogs sure dont look healthy. LOL (not judging we like hot dogs in our household too!) |

| | LOL on the hot dogs, I know...but they are all beef and on sale for BOGO and I had a $3 beef WT, lol...plus we needed them for camping. I know they are going to air the Kroger trip on the news to show all the healthy and organic stuff I got. That it can be done cheap with coupons. |

| | Where do you look for the sale items in advance for Krogers, etc.? |

| | shelia, check out this thread for kroger ads http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums...xas-louisiana/ I am not sure about the groceryguide.com. it is new to me, but I will find out. |

| | I am new. A friend told me how much she has saved, and so I am trying to figure this out. |

| | As I said in the other place.. it was cool that you got to do that.. but I think it kinda sucks for some of us that had a hard enough time getting the deals. Just more $$ into my gas tank to find stuff in stock :( |

| | newbee here, how would if I find free coupons? hopefuly i can find my way back here to find your answer. |

| | Trishies13, I am not sure why you are so upset. I never wipe store shelves off. In fact, many times I pre-order stuff to make sure they stores have enough in stock. The deals I got here in this segment were not even sale item deals...so no overwhelming rush to get them. Please explain your comments a little more so I may understand what you are upset about. RANDMARE- I get free item coupons by contacting the mfg of the products. Most times they will send free item coupons out to you. |
