Today’s savings

Good products made cheap by coupons!

Today when grocery shopping, I saved $10.75 on coupons alone, not to mention the great deals I got shopping at Price Chopper.  Some of the products turned out really cheap with the coupons.  For example, one box of Catelli Pasta was only 39¢ with the coupon. And the boxes of Muslix only came to $1.44 each (they had many other varieties on sale, too.)  The other box of cereal I got (Organic Flax Plus) is normally too expensive to purchase, but it came with $1 off coupon for SoyNice (one of my favourite brands of soymilk) plus I had a $1 off coupon for the cereal.  So once I deducted $2 in coupons, the cereal was only $1.97. And the Campbell’s Healthy Request soup you see here was free!  I also saved 75¢ off Dairy Oh! omega 3 milk with a coupon from save.ca! I love that I can save on good, healthy products like organic cereal, soymilk, omega-3 milk, and whole wheat pasta.  

While we were at the store, Josh noticed a sales clerk taking down a pack of coupons for $2 off Kelloggs cereals, and thought to ask her for them.  She gave us a whole wad!  And they don’t expire until June, 1999.

I also made sure to use my Green boxes and cloth bags, which not only helps the environment, it also saves a few cents off my bill, since I don’t need to buy bags.

Other coupons and deals to check out this weekend: 

Look in your flyer for PC stores (Loblaws, Superstores, and Zehrs.)  They have lots of coupons for baby stuff.  Most of them require at least one other purchase, but you can get free Pampers megawipes, Pampers clean n go wipes, Nestle cereal and save $10 on Pampers club packs of diapers and wipes, Huggies and pull-up products. 

Shoppers Drug Mart is offering 10xs the points this weekend when you buy $40 or more - and 15xs the points when you buy $50 or more.  If you have been saving up for a big trip to Shoppers, now is the time to go.  Unless of course, you can hold out for a 20xs the points sale!
