Weekly Brags

[jen276here]

Hello all

I think the weekly threads are getting clogged w/ shopping trip brags so I figured I'd make a spot where we can all show and tell.

What should go here:
-Postings about what you bought today/this week (you can spell it out anyway you want, detailed or not so detailed - as long as it follows HCW policies of course!)
-Pics of what you bought

What shouldn't go here:
-Current Deal Info
-Scenarios for upcoming sales
-Questions about current deals
(all of this should be in the weekly thread or if a hot deal, in its own thread)

I hope this helps everyone by keeping the weekly deal thread clean yet giving us all a place to show off a bit

I'll go first:

Today, while going over my receipt, my cashier said "wow, you have alot of savings" even though my total 12 MO Savings don't show coupons. I did the max on them, and soon to max out the weekly specials.

Miss Jen, I posted my brag in the weekly thread. I'll put it here where it belongs; could I trouble you to delete my other one?

- I never got the email about the free GE soup, however when I was walking past the display of it there was a lady futzing with what appeared to be coupons, taking some and putting some down. When she walked away I went to see what she'd left and there were 3 coupons for free soup! YAY! As I was looking over the selections lady and (I assume) her young son came up to look, so I gave her one of the freebie coupons. Payin' it forward.

I am officially out of room in our freezer. I wound up going to the Southland store so I could stop by my mom's to store cheese, bologna & hot dogs in her stand freezer. Oh lordy, what have I become??

I bet I did the kraft deal of 10 packages of cheese at least 15 times this week (that's 30 coupons). I sent someone 6 kraft hunger coupons, and I sent someone else 10 of them as well. I now have about $250 Steeler bucks also. This kraft deal on the singles put me way up there. I also figured out to buy 7 2% American Singles for the Steeler bucks, buy 1 chunk that was on the list and I could buy 2 of any other cheese I wanted. This ends up 7*3.99= $27.93 + $2.89 = $30.82 for 8 cheeses shelf price, the two extra were bonus, and I also got Steelers bucks all for FREE. I just figured this out last night. Basically I fed a whole bunch of people with all the coupons I printed for the fight for hunger promo. I think it was 10 per coupon. I am burnt out on cheese! LOL

I couldn't be bothered with the math, but here is what I got:

4 Miracle Whip in the bigger jar
6 Miracle Whip in the squeeze bottle
6 Kraft mayo in the squeeze bottle
18 Maxwell House (had 10 coupons, bought the rest without because others didn't arrive in time). I should also add that my husband's work is buying these from me at $5.99 each, I don't drink the stuff.
36 packages of cheese in various varieties (I did 6 transactions with it, but put 1 extra with each just in case I got a cheese that's not marked)

I wanted to get some hot dogs, but they were sold out.

I got no less than 30 boxes of Hamburger Helper, Tuna Helper, Chicken Helper.

24 dog treats (thanks to you all)
8 cake mixes and frosting and 2 free pans
12 packs of Bumble Bee tuna (5 5oz. 7 2.5oz)
1 pack of 7 singles Taster's choice (will stay on the lookout for Qs)
10 Totinos Pizzas and they are HORRIBLE! I am ready for the rolls this week
20 or thereabout in Dole Crisps

Giant/Martin's also ran some fabulous deals up to Saturday, and between the 2 stores, it kept me quite busy. There I got:

100 bottles of Propel or thereabouts (got about $180 in free gas just for buying them at $0.88 for 24 oz. bottles)
21 or so 6 packs of Deer Park water (got about $36 in free gas here and the water was basically free)
20 bottles of Nesquik - free
