Apple Market

I'm liking my little Apple Market that's nearby.  I don't get a lot there, but I can usually find a few good deals.  Here were my deals last night.

Hamburger Helper 10/$10 or basically $1 each (which, BTW, is the going price at Aldis).   Coupons in 2/7 and 3/7 SS for .75/3 makes them $0.75 each  AND I also had received a coupon through snail mail from Box Tops for Education for $1/3 making those three boxes $0.67 each.

Dawn was on sale for $0.99.  I had a coupon from P&G 3/7 for $0.25/1 which is doubled at Apple Market making the Dawn only $0.49

KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce was $1.  SS 3/14 had a coupon for $1/1 making it FREE!!

I mentioned last time that I can't find my full savings at Apple Market because I can't tell my original retail prices, but after coupons were applied to the sale price by savings was 33%.  So, I only paid 2/3 of what others did on just the sales alone.

Price Chopper on Saturday

Made a Price Chopper run on Saturday morning. Surprisingly, it wasn't too busy. I had warned Micki that I was going to be taking some time thinking about things, and it wasn't until about the last 5 minutes she started asking, "Are we done yet?"

I'm not going to list everything I purchased, but I did make good use of the two Box Top for Education deals I mentioned below...I purchase 6 boxes of Hamburger/Chicken Helper and 9 boxes of Cheerios. That's what's called "stocking up." I was actually out of cereal, so the timing was great on that one.

I actually did a little better than usual for a grocery store run. My retail was $181. After coupons and sales, my OOP was 71.77 which is a savings of 60%. That means, I walked out of the store with $109 worth of groceries I didn't have to pay for. Wow, I like the thought of that!

Now, I've pulled off my 12 UPCs, circled the items on the receipt, printed up the form and am getting ready to send in for my 100 Box Tops. You may wonder why a homeschooler would care about Box Tops. Two words. Homeschool group.

Box Tops for Education

Some of you may collect Box Tops for Education and this is a great week to do it.
Price Chopper is offering many of them on sale this week AND are offering a way to get 100 more for free.

Some of the deals I picked up for www.kcpennypinchinmama.com this week for Box Tops include:

General Mills Cereals, Select Varieties
Price with card: $1.97Less
$1.00/2 or $1.00/3 coupons 6-28-09, 7-12-09 or 7-19-09 SS or $0.55/1 and $0.75/1 coupon here or here
Final Price: As low as $1.22 each

Hamburger, Chicken or Tuna Helper

Less $0.75/3 coupons 5-31-09 SS and/or 6-7-09 SS (exp 7-25) or here
Final Price: 3/$2.16 or $0.72 each

(Yes, both are cheaper than you can get them at Aldi's.)

Make sure you purchase at least 12 of the items at the same time, because you then print up this form http://www.mypricechopper.com/SpecialPromotions/2009/BoxTopEntryForm5.pdf and mail in the receipt and the 12 UPC and tada! you get 100 bonus box tops. Make sure you purchase them between 7/20 and 8/16. It must be postmarked by 8/16/09 and received by 8/31/09.
