I had a few coupons that are about to expire so I finally went to Safeway and Target tonight.
I spent $37 for everything pictured. Click below for the scoop!
TARGET: $17.30
5lbs oranges $2.99
Sierra Mist $1.79 (I thought this was $1.25- darn!)- Used $1 coupon
Boca Burgers $2.74
4 packages Oscar Mayer lunchmeat $2.79- used (2) $1/2 printables and a Buy 3 Get One Free Target coupon (so $1.59 per package)
4 Diet Coke $1 each- used Buy 3 get one free Target coupon (we fell off the no-more soda wagon over Christmas- bah.)
3 boxes Kashi cereal (2) at $3.49 and 1 at $2.99, this deal was a little tricky but it worked. I used the $1.50/3 Target coupon, and I used a $3/1 Kashi coupon and (2) $1/1 Kashi coupons- I got these from a free sample I requested. The boxes also had peelie coupons for $3 off fresh fruit with purchase of 3. So it looked like this:
2 at $2.99
oranges at $2.99
1 at $3.49
Used $1.50/3 Target coupon
Used (2) $1/1 manufacturer coupons
Used $3/1 manufacturer coupon
and used $3 off fruit coupon
final price: $2.96 for all 4 items
I planned to spend $2.99 on the oranges anyway so this was a great deal!
The total with state tax was $17.30

*NOTE: I have literally had those free item coupons for probably a year and I don’t recall how I got them. You can check out a list of companies that will mail out free or high value coupons in response to consumer request here.
So no my trips aren’t usually terribly exciting but remember I do not have double coupons in my area. Also, I just bought things that we needed and not necessarily just what I could get for free for the sake of getting it free.
