FREE Tillamook Cheese at Market Street!

I signed up for Market Street's e-mail list last week and I keep getting these nice surprises in my inbox! This week's FREE coupon from Market Street is for an 8 oz. Tillamook Cheese! It requires an additional $20 purchase, but I always use coupons to help me reach the minimums.

Try this:
1. Have the cashier ring up all your items (like usual).
2. Hand over the FREE item coupon.
3. Give the cashier the rest of your coupons.
4. Your total should be a lot less than the $20 minimum!

My first trip to CVS! and more...

This was my first ever coupon shopping trip at CVS! We don't have CVS stores in Utah, so I was extra excited. I spent $6.75 on the items above, but got back $8 in Extra Bucks Rewards to spend next time. I was able to use a $4/$20 coupon for being a new CVS cardholder. I expect to spend even less (or should I say 'make more'?) in the weeks to come! Get the details on the CVS deals this week.

If you're new to couponing, you may be surprised that I hit so many stores this week to pick up the deals. All I can say is, it's worth it!

Walgreen's stop: (Right across the street from CVS for me!) 40 cents. We're not huge gelatin fans, but I needed some for my daughter's special orange birthday cake. I just couldn't pass up FREE dental floss! Walgreen's Deals for this week are here.

I'm really becoming a fan of Market Street's FREE mailer coupons and their marked down deals. I needed to spend $10 to get a FREE pound of hamburger. I used coupons to help me reach the $10 mark, plus I spotted these Lloyd's barbeque beef packages for only 99 cents each! They are normally $6.99 each and they were 4 days away from their 'Best By' date. What a deal! I bought all of these items at Market Street for $4.88. Not bad when you consider I can get 6 dinners out of these meat products!


Next up, Target! Oh, how I love Target. The Sense & Spray were FREE with an overage of 96 cents each. Wonka bar= FREE with $1/1 RP 9/12 and $1/1 Target printable coupon (No longer available). Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese= FREE with Kraft First Taste coupon. Archer Farms Pizzas= Buy One Get One FREE with an awesome Target catalina coupon. The stickers I actually paid full price for, 99 cents- we were making cards for my daughter's birthday! Total for this trip was $2.56.

And, last, but not least: Lowe's! This is one of my favorite coupon deals ever! I love it when Brita comes out with high value coupons. These pitchers were $3.00 each, including tax, for clean water for months to come! This saves big time when we don't have to buy water bottles, etc. We just filter our own water with these pitchers and refill washable water bottles. Nice!

Of course, these are not the only shopping trips we have to make to get all that our family needs. Most of these items are not things that we "need" right away, but they are going into our supply so we can draw on them later. You really can shop for pennies on the dollar to provide for your family!

How did your shopping go this week?

I received a FREE milk coupon with $10 purchase coupon in a mailer last week. It was from Market Street here in the Dallas area. Whether you have a Market Street coupon or not- I hope this will give you an idea of how to use such a coupon!

Here was my plan- buy $10 worth of groceries with coupons! After your purchases are added up at the register, give the FREE milk coupon to the cashier FIRST.

It worked! I got all of the above for $3.48!
