Copps Double Double Coupon Day!

I have been out of the swing of things in regards to Copps in recent months. Erica has been doing enough deals for the rest of us! But I just had to take advantage of the "double double" coupon day today!

I did two transactions and doubled 19 coupons. Don't ask why I didn't double 20. Okay, go ahead. Because the math was killing me and I just couldn't think of anything else to get! :) As it was I had to get another cart just to keep things straight. Trying to make sure I had two orders over $25 and didn't split up the milk deals about did me in!

One of my favorite Copps tricks, as you can see, is to pad my order with free items to help me reach the $25 with less out of pocket. I almost always save my free item coupons for Copps. You can get free item coupons from all sorts of places: Vocal Point, Kraft, and now Facebook.

Here's what I got:

Transaction #1
  • 2 Reynolds Foil @ $1.99 - 2 $1 IP doubled= 2 FREE
  • 6 General Mills cereals (@ $2.99 each) $17.94 - $10 discount- 3 $1/2 IPs doubled= $.32 per box plus a free gallon of milk and a dozen eggs

I may be good at deals, but you are the queen of FREE! Holy cow! Nice job, Shelly.

So how much did you end up saving? I thought I had did pretty good until I read your post. I spent $19.40 but saved $35. Great job. I didn't have as many freebie coupons you had.

Saved $77.88 according to the receipt, which we all know is inflated. It was a good bit of stuff for under $20... my best Copps run ever.

PS The corn and peas in garlic sauce Just for One things are gross. Jerry hated them. Good thing they were free!
