Sentry Trip 5/18/2011

First, a quick note about Pick N Save today... 

Farmland sausage is on sale for 2/$7.  There is a coupon for $.55/1 Farmland sausage, which will double to $1.10.  You can get these for a mere $2.40.  ((Remember, there is a $25 minimum before coupons will double...))

Also, the big thing this week is the Lunchables!  They are on sale at PNS for 2/$5.  There is also a coupon for $1/1 off of the new Lunchables with fruit that will double and they ARE included in the sale, making these bad boys only $.50 each.  I was sort of shocked there were any left in the store.

Don't forget, Pick N Save is doing DOUBLE Double Daze every Saturday through the end of July!  I'm not sure about ALL Pick N Save stores (because it's not printed in the ad,) but the cashier at my Pick N Save (Market Square on 67th & National) told me they were doing it.  That's doubling of up to 10 coupons (internet included) for each transaction.  SWEET.

And, now some goodies from the Sentry on 71st and Lisbon.  

A quick reminder of their coupon policy:

1.  Double coupons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

2.  Double up to $1

3.  No limit to how many coupons may be doubles

4.  No minimum purchase before doubling begins

5.  NO internet coupons accepted

6.  NO more than 3 of the same identical coupon may be used

Glad trash bags were on sale for $3.99.  I had a coupon for $.75/1, which doubled to $1.50, making each box of trash bags only $2.49.  

The Ragu was 2/$2.89, and I used a $1/2 to make them just under $.45 each!  

Sargento slices were on sale, and I paired them with a $.75/1 coupon to make them $.99 each.  

The Knorr Rice Sides were on sale for $1 each, and I had a coupon for $.50/2, making them $.50 each.  

The Pillsbury frosting was on sale also, and with my $.40/1 coupon, came to only $.86.

Last, there was the Lloyd's BBQ tubs!  There were only two left in the store, I actually had three coupons so we'll see if I can use the remaining coupon before it expires.  They were on sale for $3.99, but with two $1/1 coupons doubled, they were only $1.99 each. :)

Total numbers:

Total Sale Value:  $34.60

-$16.80 in coupons (48.5% savings)

Paid only $17.80!

Pick N Save trip 5/18/2011 - Double Daze

Hello, my lovelies!

So sorry for the lapse in blogging here.  I was not available last week / couponing because I was storm chasing, and out of state for several days.  Then, photographing a wedding on Saturday.  Really fun stuff, but keeps me from coupons! :/

SO!  Here is my take for the day.  Three separate transactions (because on Pick N Save Double Daze, they will only double up to 5 coupons per transaction.)  :)

Classico pasta sauce... 2/$4 on sale.  Paired with a $1/2 coupon that doubles to $2/2, I got these jars of pasta sauce for only $1 each. :)  (4 total)

The best deal of the bunch for me... Ken's salad dressing (they have my very favorite Creamy Balsamic and a great olive oil dressing,) - these are on sale for 2/$4.  I had 5 of the $1/1 coupons.  They double to $2/1, and so... all five of these were totally FREE!

I've been waiting for ages for the Tyson Grilled & Ready chicken breasts to go back on sale.  Dan and I can NOT get enough of these.  They were on sale for $6.99 (normally these are $9.99, so that's already $3 off.)  Paired with a $1/1 coupon that doubles to $2/1, I got these for an awesome $4.99 each!  (3 total)

Dan loves these Voila meals.  They are on sale for $3.99, and there's also a coupon for a free Birds Eye steamfresh family size frozen veggie if you buy it.  Win/Win!

And, Dan is obsessed with Peach Snapple.  SO, these were on sale today for $5.99, and I paired them with the $1/1 coupon that doubles to $2/1.  Each 6-pack was only $3.99 - that's like getting each bottle for $.66.  (4 total)

Hershey's chocolate bars are on sale for $.79 each.  I grabbed four and paired them with the B1G1 free coupon, making them essentially $.39 each.

And we can't forget the fun and silly FREE El Monterey burrito 2-pack coupon.  Always good for bumping up a dollar or two on the $25 minimum post-sale pre-coupon total for each transaction!

$1/2 Sun Chips matched with the 2/$5 sale made them only $1.50 each! (4 total)

Plus, there is a coupon for a free Sierra Mist Natural 2-liter with the purchase of any two Sun Chips. :)  That made these 2-liters totally FREE.

There's also a sale on the Kemps Frozen Yogurt cones, 2/$6.  I matched that with a $1/1 coupon, and got this box for $1.  Sweet deal! ;)

Add to these, I also got a few bags of salad at 2/$4. :)

So!  The total info:

TOTAL shelf value: $128.77

-$73.03 savings (56.7% savings)

I only paid $55.74!

Happy Couponing!

Sentry Trip 5/9/11

I did make it to the store after all!   (Shopping list here.)

I ended up also getting a thing of Pam spray and some Bounce dryer sheets (we desperately need both.)  Overall, the total after store sales was $39.38, and with coupons I ended up paying only $22.90.  Considering I didn't have a coupon for the Bounce sheets (they were on sale though, for $3.49), and I also picked up some BBQ sauce with a coupon that was expiring, so each of those ended up being $.98 (great deal, right?)... So, I'm pretty happy with the take! :)~

Sentry Shopping List 5/9

I am planning to head over to the Sentry's on 92nd and Lisbon for a quick trip today before I go out of town.

Coupons will double at the 92nd location today - just remember, no internet coupons, and no more than 2 of any one coupon may be used.  Other than that, there is no limit to the number of coupons you can double.

You can also can double coupons at the 71st and Lisbon location; they'll take up to 3 of the same coupon in one transaction.  They double coupons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so you can use this list at that store, also.  No internet coupons here either.


My shopping list:
[1] $.50/1 Puffs Product = FREE
[2] $1/2 (exp. 5/10) Dannon Light & Fit 4-pack = (4x) $.99 each
[1] $.50/1 Yoplait Fiber One Multipack = (1x) $.99
[2] $1/1 Hidden Valley Farmhouse dressing = (2x) $.99 each
[2] $.50/2 Ortega Products / salsa or taco shells = (4x) $.99 each
[2] $.50/1 Hormel Natural Choice deli sandwich meat or chicken strips = (2x) $1.50 each


When it's all said and done, I should be paying around $14 for all of that.  I'll update you all soon! :)
