Get paid to shop!!

Within my first week of practicing my new shopping strategy I was able to get $59.31 worth of groceries for FREE, yes completely free plus I made $3.76 instantly. I utilized a $5 gift card I was given a few months prior, and paid $5.24 out of pocket, plus I also received $9 off my next Meijer purchases which is just like cash. We must not forget I had a few coupons to make all this possible.

Had I not had the $5 gift card I utilized, the bottom line would be $1.24 for all 19 items.

My purchase:
4 Glade Wisp flameless candles
1 pack Bar s franks
1 Hamburger helper
2 boxs Betty Crocker potatoes
2 Boxes Tuna Helper
2 bags frozen Green Giant Broccoli
1 Bag frozen Green Giant corn
1 Pk whole wheat hot dog buns
1 2-liter Diet Dr Pepper
2 pks Combos
1 Land O lakes soft butter spread with canola oil
1 box microwave popcorn

Total savings $59.31
Total Paid $5.24
Meijer Catalina $9
Profit $3.76!!!!!!!

I now always shop using my savings knowledge.

    Are you going to share with us how you were able to get those groceries at that price, and where you found most of your coupons?

    Sure! Of course I had a coupon for each item purchased. The dr pepper was the only online coupon on I believe and it was for a free 2 liter and online deal and then they sent you the coupon. The four glade candles were on sale and the sunday paper coupon made it free, I want to say it was on sale for $4 and there was a $4 coupon. And then you got a catalina OYNO with each one you bought. Bar S Franks were on sale for $1.00 and I had an insert coupon for $0.50/1, the green giant veggies were on sale for $1 and I had $1 off coupons, Land o Lakes was on sale for $1.00 or $0.99 and there was a $0.75 off 1 coupon. If you check out my other stories there are usually receipts attached so you can view, I think this receipt had gotten wet so I couldnt post it , the ink ran together. My coupon soures are the sunday paper and the internet. I hope you get this helps
