A Deal to Remember......

I'm sorry, I cannot help myself.

I am trying not to make my blog all about my super deals.

But I am for sure not leaving this bad boy shopping trip off.

It started out regular enough.....

 Wanted you to see that I followed through on the 

mini doughnuts for McCauley.

I have a thang for Kozy Shack pudding.

Yu-hum!

 Take a good look at this next one (down below)....this is where the fun began.

I always swing by the tiny clearance rounder at my Publix.

Many times I see great deals, but since I don't know what
is on sale I usually don't 

have the correct coupons to take advantage.

I sometimes consider going back w/ my qs, but actually have never acted on it.

Today I saw 4 - 24 packs of Duracell AA batteries.

I am always keeping my eyes peeled for good battery deals.

Well, they were regular $12.99 each.

on sale for 2 for $12.99 - so half price - that will get my attention as 

a starting point.

I was completely positive that I had several Duracell coupons at home,

and with me I had my Publix coupons to use towards them - 

so $6 came off right then.

I asked the customer service rep if I purchased them now, could I bring 

my coupons back in to get reimbursed??

Sure!

Done.

 I got home.

Took the pics....and started digging.

The first place I always go is to a Coupon Data Base.

That way I am not searching blind.

Huge time saver, because I can put any item in that I am 

looking for a coupon for and bingo,

if there is one, it will pull up.

I will find out if there is a printable one to get,

as well as any booklets, tear pads, or blinkies that I may have stuffed in my binder.

Plus, the best part is they give the source date and 

coupon insert that they are in as well.

So I was able to come up with 

4 - $2 off Target coupons

4 - $1.50 off manufacture coupons

All told I got back - $14.48

I spent $6 on 96 BATTERIES!!!

Spent $24.99/ Saved $133.04 on the trip.

PLUS.....get this....this is the icing on the cake...

or maybe the dip on the celery....

Three of the battery pacs came w/ a sheet of $20 in P&G COUPONS!!

They are high value and do not expire until 2012!!

BooYa!

Score.

Yes, I do have a big fat head now.....

here is a picture to prove it.

Ryker just walked by and whispered ugly...wha?
