Crazy week and Giant Shopping Trip 4/21/10

general, Giant, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
This week has been a crazy week. A lot has been going on and I haven't been as good about posting good deals. I'm hoping after tomorrow when the weekend starts I can start getting organized, clean the family room, office, and of course laundry. I'm really behind on laundry and haven't been doing my routine.  Honestly, working full-time is tough because I'm always behind.  In the evenings after my daughter goes to bed, all I want to do is the essentials and go to bed. I'm exhausted! This weekend I plan on cleaning up and going to the grocery store might go to Bottom Dollar to use my $10 off a $40 purchase. Check out what my hubby got at Giant yesterday?   A bag of fruit including apples, mango…

Friend’s Trip to Giant on 03/22/10 – Saved 76%

Giant, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Wow!  My friend Ruth sent me her picture and transaction totals for her first coupon trip with multiple transactions!  She even  rolled over the $10 General Mills Catalina deal each time and did all of this with her 2 little girls.  I'm impressed! Since she is new to collecting her coupon inserts she didn't have all of the coupons available to  her.  She used the internet coupons and the  "Spring Savings" book.  She mentioned that some of the coupons beeped and the cashier pushed them through and it took about 15 minutes to check out.  She went early when the store was quite. Great Job Ruth! Transaction #1: Total before savings: $20.50 Total after sales prices & coupons: $9.93 Transaction #2: Total before savings: $21.16 Total after sales prices &…

This weekend was a super busy weekend for my family.  I had those $5 and $3 catalina coupons from last week's Giant trip that was to expire on 3/20/10, so I ran in Giant at 8:00 AM with my daughter (she drove the red car cart) and was able to do the General Mills catalina deal.  MoneyWiseMoms has a great post about it HERE. I spent out of pocket $12.72 and got a $10 catalina to use on my next purchase. This is what it all means to save. If you haven't gone yet here is some good news to make this deal even sweeter!  My friend Ruth mentioned as a comment that there is a new booklet of coupons at Giant available at the customer service desk called "Spring…

Giant Shopping Trip 5/29/09

Coupons, Giant, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Ok did it!  I completed a pretty good shopping trip at Giant. OOP $56.57.  Not to bad. However, it got lower... I did have a problem using the X/XX Bloom coupon because you have to have a cashier enter it in or the customer service and this is usually something you want to use first.  I got back $10.25 for that coupon + tax!  Yeah, I was surprised that I got tax back too. Then the Cat machine didn't print out my $2 for the Deer Park water deal.  I got $2.00 back for that. Last, I didn't get back my $.05 for each bag.  The manager was wonderful in refunding me all of these things and he said there was a way to do this at self checkout.  I…
