Serious Savings!

I think the coupon fairy was out today because I kept finding coupons all over the store! Not from blinkie machines, but from people who must not have wanted their coupons. So I ended up with more Pillsbury items than I planned, but hey they were FREE!

Here is a summary of my BEST savings today:

• 12 cans of 4ct. Pillsbury cresent rolls=$12.00
• 7 cans of 5ct. Pillsbury cinnamon rolls=$7.00
• 4 cans of 4ct Pillsbury grands biscuits=$4.00
• 1 3 lb. package of Kroger frozen chicken breasts=4.98 (3-day sale special!)
• 1 16 oz. tub of Kroger sour cream=$1.00
• 2 Bic Soliel 4 ct. razor cartridges on MS for 1.89/1=3.78

Total before coupons and catalinas=$32.76

• - 12 .25/1 Pillsbury cresent roll coupons=-$6.00
• -7 .30/1 Pillsbury sweet roll coupons=-$4.20
• -2 1/2 Pillsbury grands copuons=-$2.00
• -.50/1 grands Shortcuts coupon
• -$1.50/ poultry purchase coupon (came in my Dillons mailer)
• -1/1 Kroger sour cream (came in my Dillons mailer)
• -2 2/1 Bic Soliel coupons (found on the package)=-$4.00

Total after coupons=$13.56

I got back $13 in catalinas for purchasing Pillsbury Products! (3 $3 off coupons and 2 $2 off coupons)

So I only paid .56 cents for all of that!!!! That is a savings of 99% or only paying .56 cents for 27 items!

***NOTE: I did my pillsbury products in 5 SEPARATE TRANSACTIONS. You only want to purchse a maximum of 5 pillsbury products in one transaction in order to gain the most out of the deal!!!***

Pillsbury biscuits and rolls are 10/10 this week. Unfortunately the items that are 10/10 are the small containers. So the crescent rolls are only 4 ct. and the cinnamon rolls are only 5ct. But hey FREE IS FREE!

• Deal idea #1:
• Buy 5 Pillsbury rolls (cinnamon 5 ct.)=$5.00
• Use 5 .30/1 coupons (these are not Grands specific ones and will work)=-$3.00
• Total=$2.00 and you would get a $3 off your next order catalina back

That is overage of $1.00!!! (you could also only buy 3 and still make overage)

• Deal idea #2:
• Buy 5 crescent rolls (4 ct. tubes)=$5.00
• Use 5 .25/1 coupons=-$2.50
• Total=$2.50 and you get a catalina for $3 off your next order back!

That is an overage of .50 cents!!! (you could also only buy 3 and get these FREE!)

• Deal idea #2:
• Buy 4 Pillsbury biscuits (grands)=$4.00
• Use 2 1/2 coupons found here
• Use .50/1 cellfire coupon
• Total=$1.50 and you get a $2.00 of your next order catalina back

That is overage of .50 cents!!!

Thanks to Rebecca for confirming this promotion works on the 10/10 items!

Coupon Printing Troubleshoot

I have had a lot of comments lately from readers saying they are having trouble downloading the coupon printers from various sites, especially the coupons.com coupon printer. I am no computer nerd but here is what I know about my computer.

I have a Mac that runs on Tiger software. I can print coupons from both Safari and Firefox browsers. It is my understanding that you must have Tiger software in order for your computer to print from coupons.com. Now smartsource.com is a different story. Only Safari running on Tiger software will print from smartsource.com. In general Safari is the better browser to use on Macs.

Now for PCs I am not sure what the rules are here. If I print coupons from my PC (Dell running on XP) I have no issues printing from Internet Explorer or Firefox.

My one suggestion would be to make sure that you have the most up to date versions of your internet browsers. This is usually the most common problems when having issues printing coupons.

I have no idea if this info is helpful. I am not quite computer savvy like my hubby so I will open this up for discussion. If you have had issues with your computer not being able to print coupons from coupons.com or smartsource.com tell us how you were able to fix it!

If for some reason you cannot comment on the blog email me and I will post all helpful suggestions.

Thanks!
