I have been so busy with summer and now the Back to School givewaways (by the way, did you enter to win $175 Amazon gift card?)..I haven’t had a super shopping trip in a very long time.
I have been saving up my free coupons that I have requested (I hope you are requesting them too!) – many expire at the end of this month. I also had 6 free milk catalinas to use. I also started with $27 worth of catalinas, so you could say my total was $55.00 after coupons.
This was a fun, but exhausting trip. The checkout took about 40 minutes because I had 92 items and 76 coupons! I typically don’t do shops like this but, wasting coupons is just silly.
Here are some of the items included:
- 6 Gallons of Milk ( I will freeze some and give some away, the cats expire 7/23)
- 2 Dozen Eggs (on sale for $1.88 and I had a $.50 Egglands Best Coupons and $.75)
- 5 Bags of close dated Dole Salad – was $2.00 with $1.00 store peelies and $.50 manufacturer coupon.
- 2 Dannon 4 Pack Yogurts (used $1.00/1 printable from a few weeks back)
- 1 Bounty (used $5.00 off coupon)
- 2 Snackwells
- 2 V8 Fusion
- Chicken
- Strawberries
- Bengay (free with coupon)
- Suave Bodywash (free with coupon)
- Cottonelle Wipes (free with coupon)
- 5 International Delight Creamer (1 Free with coupon)
- Danimals Yogurt
- Jif Peanut Butter (free with coupon)
- Honest Tea
and more…….
I plan on hitting up the great deals at Rite Aid next week – I should be able to come home with a few hundred dollars worth of products free this week!

What do you do with your frozen milk? I have a little too much right now too. Couldn’t let the cats go to waist! We just came home from Giant with free milk, a toothbrush, and Cottonelle wipes. Not as exciting as yours.
Shannon says
Holly,
If you freeze it, make sure you take some out – about a cup and half to allow for expansion.
I typically will use it for cooking or baking. I also buy 2%, the less fat the better, less separation.
GaylaM says
I have always frozen milk and never bothered taking any of the milk out. Never had an overflow or any other problems. The frozen milk doesn’t taste bad when thawed out, you just have to make sure it gets completely defrosted before using because the milk fat thaws first and then the water, so you would have the equivalent of whole milk first and skim milk in the end :)
Andrea says
Great job! How come you didn’t get the free V8 Fusion + Tea since you bought 2 regular V8 Fusions?
Bonnie says
That’s what I was wondering!
Shannon says
I didnt have a coupon for it :)
Andrea says
Aw that stinks =(

Hello! Shopped at CVS today. I just got 4 bottles of clean & clear face wash and a 2.5oz bottle of gillette shave gel. Total was a little over $26. I used (4) $2 off clean and clear, (1) $1 off gillette, $7 EB, and $5 off $20 purchase of face cleanser (printed from the red machine). Spent $4.72 OOP and got back $7 EB. I’m happy!!
cg says
my son is impressed with your shopping trip and would like to know what the total was before coupons.
Shannon says
$273.00

I just used my milk catalinas today too. I waited until the day before we went on vacation to do the cereal deal at Giant so that I’d be able to use the milk coupons before they expired. Now I have 4 Gallons in my fridge. :)
