Today I took #3 with me to Food Lion. He likes to go and help me look for coupons and deals. He is only 8 but he really has a good grasp on things and his teacher told me he totally kicks butt in math in his class.
I printed out my Flips using the Flip organizer at HCW http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/food-lion/139118-flip-organizer.html
I used the $2/$5 produce and Deli/bakery item, $1 360, $1 Healthy Accents, $1/2 FL gum/candy, $1 coffee mate, and $1 breyers. I gave #3 $1 off 360 coupon and $1/2 Food Lion candy/gum coupon.
#3 did pretty good. He got 2 candies that were 2/$.88, 1 pack of food lion gum ($.50) and 1 bag of FL candy corn ($1.25) and a box of tissues that were $1 and spent $1.76 total (and it was his own money).
When we got home he was giving his brothers their candy. Then he proceeds to get all excited and has the box of tissues in his hand and proudly proclaimed "I GOT THIS BOX OF TISSUES FOR FREE!" What a proud day it was for me. Although #3 is typical and when he gets money it burns a hole in his pocket until he spends it, he does TRY and get the most for his money. I felt so proud of him.
I then went over to Harris Teeter. They have a special going on until November 30th for every $30 you spend in HBA items (meds and personal) you get $10 to use the next time you are at the store (it goes on your vic card). Well, they have Excedrine 24cts on sale for $1.99 a bottle. I had 6 coupons for $2 off any PM Excedrine product, so I got 6 bottles of that, and one bottle of Migraine using a $2 IP. I also got 5 yoplait yogurts and somehow only managed to spend $.06 total! And I used my $25 gift card to pay it.
Here is a link to $2 coupon for Excedrine Migraine http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=rjekdkl99322329&bt=wi&o=51835&c=EX&p=0SZ5JtO8
