Extreme Couponing Shopping Trip
I’ve been a little busy this week. Busy taking care of a new puppy! Oh boy, I always seem to forget how much work it is. Yikes! And, I just didn’t have a chance to get to the grocery store this week until late last night. I squeaked in this deal at A&P just before my previous $10 certificate expired and just before the deal was over. I think I might have been the last one in the store.
After looking over the items that were part of the Buy $25 Get $10 deal, the only things I really wanted were the sausage & waffles. These are 2 items we use a lot of. It wasn’t the best deal but it was the best deal for me which is more important then wasting money on things that will just sit in my stockpile.
Usually A&P and Pathmark stores only allow 2 like printable coupons which is why I brought Pat along to split our transactions. bBut, I guess because it was so late, they just let me do it in one transaction. Yay!
Here is what I did:
A&P Transaction :
- (6) Aunt Jemima Waffles -$2.00
- (4) Premio Sausage – $2.99
- (1) Americas Choice Cotton Swabs – $1.29
Coupons Used:
- (4) $0.55/1 Premio Sausage
- (3) $1/2 Aunt Jemima Waffles

Received: $10.00 Catalina (A&P Reward)
