Jenn loves Acme because …

She got all this for just $31.67 plus got two catalinas totalling $9.00 off her next order.

Here is how she did it:

Trans. #1:

10 boxes of TOTAL
3 boxes of Bandaids
1 children’s motrin
4 boxes of Ronzoni Healthy Harvest

I used $.75 coupons for the total (which if I would have just bought the total, it would have been free with the $5 catalina promo!!), $.50 coupons for the bandaids, and $1.00 off coupons for the Healthy Harvest (off 2 boxes).  I also had $10 from last weeks catalina.

Total after all that:  $8.46

Got back $10 with catalina deals (General Mills and Johnson and Johnson)

Trans. #2
3 boxes of Cheez its
6 cans of Progresso Soup
4 boxes of Smart Taste Pasta
3 bags of Cheerios Mix
3 bags of Chex Mix
2 boxes of Brownies
2 thomas english muffins
2 Edys cartons
2 Edy’s Dibs

I used a $2.00 off 2 CheezIt peelie, $.75 off CheezIt, $.75 off 2 brownie mixes, (2) $1.10 off 3 soups,
$.55 off  chex mix, 2 .50 chex mix, 3 $.50 off cheerios mix, 2 $1.00 off 2 pastas and  $2.00 off Edy’s Dibs.  I also used the 10.00 I got from the previous transaction.

The total was 23.21

And I got  $4.00 back for Edy’s and $5.00 back for General Mills!!

Great Job Jenn.

So here’s why I love Acme:

I got all this for just $14.67 – it took multiple transactions and a great cashier named John, but it worked! I am loving the General Mills catalina!

Acme

Yes that is alot of brownies, however, I will be making and donating the brownies to the school bakesale. I don’t like brownies, so there is no chance of me stuffing my face full of them.

On the other hand, the yogurt will be gone far too fast. I eat 2-3 a day and my son takes one for lunch everyday. They are only 50 calories and full of fiber, so I figure its better than, well brownies!  Also, I was running low on frozen veggies so I love a stock up opportunity.

    Last night I went to Acme one last time for the week to use up some coupons, I did 2 transactions:

    5 boxes of Total Cereal
    6 boxes brownie mix
    4 Green Giant vegetables
    Total: $.70 OOP after coupons and rolling $5 GM cat

    2nd transaction:

    3 boxes Total

  7. Darlene says:

    Can I just hire you to do all my shopping for me????

  8. Skye says:

    can you do a breakdown of your transactions?

  9. Devon says:

    LOL

    Nice haul :)

    I refuse to do multiple transactions- I always love seeing your loot shots though!!!

    • Shannon says:

      Why wont you do multiple transactions? Bad experience?

      There is this cute kid at my store, he’s about 17 and he loves when I come through his line. He knows I always make him laugh so he doesn’t mind it. He works the same day like clockwork, so when I get in his line he starts giggling every time.

      • Lisa says:

        Shannon, where is there an Acme near us?

        • Shannon says:

          Lisa,

          I wish it was near .. Its in Exton, but worth the drive because I go to Target, Kmart, Acme, Genuardis and Giant in one trip.

      • Devon says:

        LOL Nahh– my main reason- I do 99.9% of my shopping with an almost 1 year old. :) She’s so well behaved, but the quicker I can get out of the store, the better. ;)

        I wish you lived closer- it would be fun to leave her home with DH and hit the stores with someone who enjoys couponing as much as me (maybe even more!) :)
