Couponing : January 30, 2011

Today, I'm quite proud of my shopping accomplishment.  Even the cashier said it was some pretty smart shopping.  :)  Today's scores are brought to you courtesy of Shopper's Drug Mart!

Breton Crackers on sale for $1.99/box, minus a $0.50 coupon for each = $1.49/box

Head & Shoulders shampoo on sale for $4.99, minus a $2.50 brandsaver coupon = $2.49

Lipton Cup a Soup on sale for $0.99, used a coupon to Buy 3 Get 1 Free so they cost $0.74 each or $0.18/serving

Eggs on sale for $1.50/dozen, minus a coupon for $2.00 off when you buy 2 = $0.50/dozen.  Beat that!

... and see that pack of bologna in the front?  That was regular $3.49, with $3.00 worth of discount stickers on it since it was dated for tomorrow.  $0.49, some homemade bread, and a box of KD made the kids and hubby all VERY happy at lunch time.   Much to my personal chagrin.  No accounting for some tastes... lol
