Bi-Lo 3.25.2008
Last minute effort to get to Bi-Lo when I came across my .55/1 Allens SteamSupreme Veggies coupon. They are on sale for 2.19/2, which is a BOGO sale. When you take the .55/1 coupon and double it, they are free!
I got ten bags (6 corn, 4 peas) for a total of 0.00 since we don't have food tax in South Carolina!

Publix 3.25.2008
Went to Publix after picking my daughter up from preschool and here is what I got:
2 boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats (Strawberry)
2 boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats (Original)
33 Cans (different types) Chef Boyardee canned pastas (I asked if I could get this amount before getting them due to quantity restrictions. Luckily, I was told yes!)
1 Magazine
1 Bag of Doritos for my daughter since she behaved well and I needed fillers for the competitor's coupon!
1 3 Musketeers Mint Bar (not pictured--hubby ate it too quickly!)
1 Bottle of Publix Salad Dressing (it was the penny item)
TOTAL: 37.43
Coupons Used:
$10 off of any $35 purchase at Bloom (my store takes competitor coupons) (-10.00)
PENNY COUPON (-1.98)
4 of the .70/1 Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats manufacturer coupons(-2.80)
11 of the .35/3 Chef Boyardee canned pasta manufacturer coupons (-3.85)
THE ABOVE COUPONS WERE DOUBLED (-3.85)
After those, my total ended up being, 14.95.
As if that was not a great purchase on its own, there is a current offer in a booklet in the front of the Publix that I went to for a $10 GIFT CHECK towards Pharmacy/HBA items at the store you purchase qualifying products at. The Mini-Wheats are a qualifying product. So, if you count that 10 gift check, I spend 4.95 after all of this!!!

Don't Under-estimate Flattery!
I just want to let you guys know that you can NEVER be too bold or brazen when it comes to e-mailing companies! I send e-mails to multiple companies (Ziploc, Skintamate, Starkist, Pinnacle Foods, Kashi) to compliment their products and all of those listed there sent coupons for free products! Kashi sent me mulitple FREE items coupons (one for each product that I complimented) as did Pinnacle Foods (Vlassic, HungryMan, Log Cabin, and more!).
I plan to save these coupons to use at the next triples that Ingles has! That way, I bump up my total for tripling and get free items after the coupons are taken off!! It is a win-win situation. Free stuff for me and the companies pay the stores. Gotta love that!
