Some people often think it's just a waste of gas to go store to store, but if you plan it just right it works fine...

After dropping off the kids to school, I regularly pass by these stores on my way home, so my mileage is all the same.

If I went home and then went back to the store and went back home and then went back (passing the same stores) to pick up the kids, then "yes," it'd be wasting gas...

So plan your shopping trips wisely by knowing what you're going to buy (with the right coupons in hand) as well as the route you're going to take.

Rain checks+Coupons+Sale=$$$MM

8/18/2013

O my! I'm so excited to share you this deal... I was paid $14.01 at Ralphs!

So last week, I shared with you how To score a big deal and pay less for cereal at Ralphs. Well, the shelves were empty of some of the cereals I realy wanted to get the deal, so I settled for an extra 10 boxes of Cheerios.

Anyhow, I had permission from the store manager to purchase the items and then do an EVEN exchange when the cereals I wanted were available. To ensure this, they gave me two rainchecks for the cereals I wanted (5 PB Crunch) and (5 Honey Nut Cheerios).

As I went to the store, I looked at my Ralphs rewards and the same coupon that I used from last week was RELOADED! So of course, I added it into my card. It was the Save $6 on 4 BIG G cereals.

I was only going to exchange 10 of my boxes, but I needed 12 to benefit the use of the coupon, so I added an extra 2 boxes of Lucky Charms (yummy!).

Picture

Here was the deal:

Returned 10 Cheerios to do an even exchange with (5 PB Crunch) and (5 Honey Nut Cheerios)

-I actually had one more Cheerios that was accidentally returned, so that made it 11.

-my thought was that the 11th Cheerios would apply to the extra cereals I added (2 lucky charms).

-then minus the $6 on four BIG Gs Ralph's card coupon.

To use this coupon, I had to use my club card, which brought the Lucky Charms to their special sale price of $2.99.

What I didn't realize (forgot) was that the BIG G save $6 coupons was valid up to FIVE transactions!!! Which meant that it not only deducted $6, but $18!!!

Then subtract the difference from the Lucky Charms (-$3.99)... I was PAID $14.01!!!

Refund: (-$1.99 x 11)

Exchanged: $1.99 x 10

Additions: $2.99 x 2

Coupon: Save $6 off 4 (limit 5x use in one transaction)... I had 12, so it's like $18 off 12

Total!!!!: (-$14.01) payout...

Thank you Lord!!!!!
