I’ve always said that I’ll know I’m financially secure when I choose to buy my favorite cereal independent of whether it is on sale or not. Yesterday I did a huge shopping trip with tons of coupons. Normally, Life Cereal sells for $3.99 a box at our local Safeway. It was on sale for $3, but I had a Safeway Super Saver coupon of five for $5. Then I used a “Buy two boxes, save 75 cents” coupon. And double-couponed that.
Oh, yeah! Five boxes of my favorite breakfast for only $3.75, which figures out to 75 cents a box. (Before you email me wondering how I majored in math and can’t figure up the total correctly, I must inform you that Safeway only allows me to double a coupon up to 50 cents.) 🙂
Once, through my crafty coupon use, Safeway actually paid me a penny to buy a certain female product. What great coupon stories do you have to share?
Do you also get the $10 off coupon when you spend $50? Gotta love Safeway.
Hey, I’m gonna see you and the fam this weekend, huh?!!
Guess what. I got five boxes of Quaker Oat Squares. Great for munching. And munching and munching and munching …. (it is five boxes, doncha know).
