High Expectations

I hate having high expectations…. they suck! All they do is rob you of the joy of getting something in the first place.

My “Deals of the Day”

I started out this morning with the same Euphoria that I get on Black Friday!  Our local grocery store chain, Jay C Foods, ran a 50% off sale on almost all of their Kellogg brand foods and other things… cereal, breakfast bars, cookies, crackers, etc.

I spent probably an hour last night going through my coupons getting them ready for the sale.  Normally, I am a General Mills’ cereal buyer because they support Box Tops for Education, however, in light of this sale… I was quickly converted!

I have a couple of “BEST” deals that I was SO excited about…

1. Their Special K breakfast bars were on sale for $1.99.  Then with the 50% off sales, they were $.99.  I had 2 coupons for $.75/1 and 1 coupon for $1/2.  So I got two boxes for $.24 a piece and the other two boxes for $.49 a piece!!! So in the end I got 4 boxes of Special K Cereal Bars for $1.46!!!!!!  That is a total savings from retail price of $11.30!
2. I bought two boxes of YoGos.  They weren’t on sale but the regular price was 2.99 a box.  Since they are Kellogg products, they were 50% off too.  I also had 2 $.50/1 coupons.  So I got both boxes of YoGos for $.99 each.  That is a total savings of $4.00!!!

The list goes on and on…

But another of my favorite finds today was this…

Nature Valley Honey Roasted Nut Clusters were regular price at $4.49.  However, I had downloaded a $1/1 coupon from cellfire.com onto my shopping card.  I also had a printed $1/1 coupon.  I decided to try to use both… and it worked!! SO I saved $2.00 and spend $2.49!!!

This couponing thing is really paying off! Thanks Danielle and Jennifer for getting me started!  Thanks to bargainbriana.com and thekrazycouponlady.com for giving me the tools to start!  I spent  $32.51 this morning for $83.37 worth of groceries!  My stockpile has started and I am excited to keep it going!

I look to blog about my couponmania at least once a week!

Happy Saving y’all!!
