I mentioned over on the Saving with Amy facebook page earlier that I had a marathon grocery run today and I wasn’t kidding! I went to 4 different stores because I have totally been procrastinating these last few days.

After this trip I was searching around like crazy trying to find another one of those Splenda FLIPs and Food Lion Soda FLIPs all to find out that somehow I used EXPIRED FLIPs! I feel like such a horrible couponer. Not sure how I didn’t realize this before I went. It was just a long day getting ready for these trips and my mind was out of it. So if you’re wondering how I got such a great deal on the sodas and Splenda, that’s how!

Besides that, I did pretty well. Now I just wonder if I’m up for the Publix deals that start tomorrow! I think so

I made a quick stop into Food Lion today to pick up some more Capri Sun and came across a few other nice deals.

Here’s what I got:

1 Food Lion Zero Cola 12 pk $2.50

There were a lot of nice finds that I’m going to do a separate post on soon. Lookout for that!

I haven’t stepped foot in Target for a week and I was having withdrawals so I made my way over there last night to save what I could. And here is how it all went down…

4 Sobe Lifewaters $1.00
- Used (2) $.50/1 Target qs and (2) BOGO coupons- Final Price= $.25 each
1 Olay Total Effects Body Wash $4.79

She only removed one of my BOGO Vanish coupons so my totals would have been even lower. Also- the FREE Kellogg’s Fiber Plus cereal coupon removed $4.29 instead of $2.66 so I got overage. I’m not going to complain too much

Total Savings: $46.14
Total OOP: $5.12
Savings of 90%!

As most of you know, there are a lot of amazing deals this week at Food Lion. I had some issues doing the deals yesterday because apparently they were ringing up correctly. The manager assured me that they were fixing the issues and I could do the deals the next day with no problem.

So I headed into Food Lion today to get more amazing deals and that’s exactly what I did! It was one of those happy dance runs.

Here is what I got with the coupons that I used.

Food Lion will be seeing a lot of me the next few days

Let me first preface this by saying that I hardly ever attempt Harris Teeter coupon events. One reason is because they aren’t really close to me, both are at least 15 miles away. And the other reason is that they are just about ALWAYS cleared out of everything that’s a good deal.

I decided to go today because its been so long and I had a wild hair. So I made my way to the Harris Teeter in Nashville and here is what I got!

They were getting rid of the old ones and the sweet man handed me some. I felt so special. At least the grocery store guy will give me flowers! lol

I was walking out of both those places with a little pep in my step I must say!

Have you had any amazing runs lately? I’d love to hear about them! Email me a pic and what you got and I’ll feature you!

First off, Becky stopped by Family Dollar and got the following (all pictured above):

• (2) Betty Crocker Warm Delights
  - She used the $.75/1 from 5/2 SS
  - AND the Family Dollar in-store coupon B1G1 for $.01
• (2) Welch’s Grape Juice 64 oz
  - She used the $1/1 printable

Becky only spent a total of $2.43 on that! 1 bottle of Welch’s alone would cost that!

Next she went to Dollar General where she got the following (pictured above):

• (7) Pedigree Dentastix Dog Treats
  - She used the $2/1 from 4/25 RP
• (1) Bag Werther’s Original
  - She didn’t even use a coupon

Her total here was only $1.08! The Dentastix alone are priced higher than that.

Becky wanted to point out that sometimes, it does pay to order extra coupons from ebay or a coupon clipping service. Especially when its a great deal.

Great job Becky!

Have you had any great grocery runs that you’d like to share? Email me about it and include pictures if you’d like! I might just feature YOU.

I also purchased some pieces to make an office desk for myself. I have been scouring craigslist for weeks trying to find one that was in good condition for a decent price and those two things just don’t go together when it comes to desks apparently. So while I was there, I found the RE furniture that was fairly inexpensive. I found 3 pieces that I think are going to make for a great little office area. Watch for pictures of that soon.

I’d love to hear how your grocery budget is doing. Got any amazing savings lately? Tell me about it!

Unfortunately, it didn’t all work out as planned. I ended up arguing with the manager (like I always do) about something little and stupid that they SAY is part of their policy but its really only because they didn’t know how to do something in their computers. Don’t you just love that?

But nevertheless, I ended up with a few pretty nice deals and only had one coupon that they would not let me use. Here’s what I got!

2 Land O’Frost 1 lb Lunch Meats $3.00- Used the 2/1 printable= $1.00
6 Lunchables Sub Combo $1.57- Used (2) .75/2 and (4) 1/1= $.65 each
1 6pk of Eggs $.84- No Coupons= $.84
1 Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner $1.87- Used a 1/1= $.87
2 Seapak Shrimp Poppers $1.58- Used a 1/1= $.58 each
2 Riceland Rice 1 lb Bags $.88- Used a .50/1= $.38 each
1 Borden Singles Cheese $1.88- Used a 1/1= $.88
1 Coffee Mate Creamer Sticks $.98- Used a .50/1= $.48
1 Pam Cooking Spray $2.98- Used a FREE coupon= FREE
2 Sure for Men Deo. $1.96- Used a 1.50/1= $.46 each
1 White Cloud 2pk PT $2.50- Used a 1/1= $1.50
3 Schick ST2 Razors $1.97- Used a 3/1= FREE (they didn’t adjust them- imagine that- so I got 1.03 in OVERAGE!)

I’m not going to complain about those savings at Walmart. But the next time that I attempt to “coupon shop” at Walmart, I think I’ll need to take me a Tylenol before I go to resist the headaches!

Have you had any luck at Walmart lately? I’d love to hear about it!
