My Shopping Trip: Stop & Shop

This shopping trip is dedicated to all those that say “there are never any coupons for anything I buy”, “I don’t eat junk food therefore I can’t coupon”, “coupons are only for high sugar, unhealthy items”.  Maybe you have heard these same “excuses” from friends and family.  If so, email this page to those naysayers because we couponers know how awesome and life changing couponing truly is!  It’s trips like this that I want to tell the whole world…see, good stuff here people…good stuff!

Here is what he did:

Stop & Shop:

  • 5 Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal – $3.00
  • 10 Stonyfield Oikos Organic Yogurt – $1.25

Coupons Used:

Paid: $4.50

Received:
$5.00 Saving Star Deposit (will be receiving)
$5.00 Catalina (Kashi)

Total Savings including sale prices and coupons: $35.35 which I will be adding to the LRWC Reader’s Grocery Savings Counter.  Be sure to add your savings so we can see how much we have all saved in 2012
