My Triple Coupon Trip


Not everything shows up well in the photo, so here's the list of what I got:

Non-triple-coupon items:
Zesta Saltines, 2 boxes, BOGO minus $1 coupon (the only coupon that didn't triple)
Pillsbury Bread Flour, 2 5 lb. bags, 99 cents each (no coupon, just a great sale price)
HT Sugar, 5 lb. bag, 99 cents (eVic special this week)
HT Instant Iced Tea Mix (because I needed it - no coupon)

Triple coupon items: (price paid after coupons were tripled)
14 oz. Heinz ketchup - free
Comet rice - .59
2 boxes Minute Rice - $1 each
2 16 oz. boxes Mueller's pasta (1 spaghetti, 1 macaroni) - .17 each
Idahoan instant mashed potatoes - free
Betty Crocker Warm Delights dessert mix (2) - .39 each
Wishbone Salad Dressing - free
Kozy Shack rice pudding - .5
Country Crock spreadable butter w/ canola oil - .25
Starkist Tuna Salad pouch - free
Jolly Time Popcorn - free
Wacky Mac pasta - free
Kelloggs Poptarts (large box) - .85
Marie Callender's Al Dente pasta dinner (frozen) - .72
Tony's crisp crust party pizza (2) - free (both)
Ground beef - .12 for 1 package, .22 for 2nd package (On sale for $1.59/lb - I had 2 coupons for .50 off ground beef which tripled)

Total before VIC card was scanned: $69.XX

Total after VIC savings came off: $42.XX

Total paid after all coupons: $15.70

If you take out the items which didn't have triple coupons associated with them (tea mix, saltines, flour and sugar), I paid a little less than $7 for all the triple coupon items.

The ground beef coupon is FANTASTIC because you almost never find coupons for fresh meat. Coupon for .50 off ground beef will net you $1.50 off once it triples - combine that with the sale for $1.59 a pound and you'll probably never find hamburger this cheap again!

Other printable coupons used in this trip can be found as follows:

.75 off Wishbone Salad Dressing (triples to $2.25 off, making product FREE)

Coupons.com for printable coupons for Warm Delights, Minute Rice, Starkist Tuna, and others.

Smartsource.com
for printable coupons for Idahoan potatoes, Marie Callender pasta entrees, Wacky Mac, and more.

NOTE: Both Coupons.com and Smartsource.com have coupons for .50 off Progresso broth. I didn't have any with me today, but I saw that this product would be free after coupons so it's definitely worth printing. (I intend to print some tonight and head back tomorrow.) Bisquick is also a good price after triple coupon (about $1.20 for a 40 oz. box, I think), so print that as well.

The other coupons I used came from Sunday papers.
