My deals this week

I realize this stuff may be totally boring to some people, but I wanted to post because I was so excited about my deals this week, and thought maybe someone out there would be able to snag a deal or two as well!

Okay, so here is a picture of the majority of my deals this week. I got everything here, plus 4 Jack's pizzas, another pack of gum, and 4 bags of veggies for about $4.00. I'll break it down and explain below.


IGA (Buehler's) - paid $0.06

Free $20 gift card when you transfer a prescription there
With that gift card plus $0.06 out of pocket, I got:

• 2 bags chips (.99 ea)
• 6 canned veggies (.33 ea)
• 4 hot pockets (.99 ea)
• about 2.5lbs ground beef (1.89/lb)
• 4 bags frozen veggies (.59 ea)
• 4 Jack's pizzas (2.00 ea - [4] 0.75coupons that were increased to 1.00 on double coupon week = 1.00 ea)

Yeah...not super healthy, but those were great deals, so we stocked up on snack food for when we don't feel like making dinner! :)

• 1 hand soap (.89 - .50 coupon = .39)

• 2 Lady Speed Stick deodorants (2.00 ea - 2.00ECB = 1.00 ea)

As far as where I get my coupons for everything, I save and date coupon inserts from Sunday's paper. We got a great deal on a year's subscription to the Sunday paper, and my parents give us their coupon inserts, so I have 2 copies of everything. Target's website has great coupons as well, and Walgreens has in store coupons you can use on top of manufacturer's coupons. Also, every once in awhile, IGA will do a double coupon week. I use my favorite deal website, commonsensewithmoney, to help me know where to find good deals.
