Shopping Trip

Since I can't post from the PYP lists, I can at least give you an idea of the deals by posting my shopping trip. Here goes:
1 Skippy Peanut Butter
2 Wishbone Bountifuls Dressing
2 Best Foods Mayo
3 Ragu Pasta Sauce
2 Candy bars (reward for the kids! they were good!)
1 Chex Mix
2 I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray
2 Trix Yogurt Multi-pack
Total: $19.02
I got a $10 catalina, making the total $9.02 after figuring it in. Didn't I say that this was a good sale?

(Other great deals that I didn't buy: $.87 GM cereal, .25 Bertolli pasta sauce, .80 Breyers ice cream. I'll be back!)

More on the P&G promo

When I saw this P&G promo, I thought that there would be some great deals to be discovered. In years past, this has been a big stock-up sale for me. I was a little disappointed in the original list, but there are more items connected to the promotion than what is in the ad.

On PYP, they listed a few more: CoverGirl cosmetics, Duracell batteries AA or AAA 4 ct., C or D 2 ct, 9V 1 ct, Herbal Essences or Aussie shampoo, conditioner, or styling products, Olay Skin Care, Gillette Venus or Fusion razors, Swiffer Wet or Dry refills, Swiffer furniture polish

Here's my trip from today:
2 261-count pampers wipes refill
2 gillette series aftershave
1 covergirl eyeshadow
total: $15.47 and received a $5 catalina

I had $1 off coupons for everything except the wipes. Then, I used the doublers from yesterday's paper. Basically, I just paid for the wipes and tax.

Buy 10 boxes of cereal, get 36 items free

If you consider a "fair" price for a box of cereal $2, that's what I did. I did my shopping for the week using the Albertsons deals I posted earlier and paid $21 (after catalinas are figured in). Gotta love that!
