Save-a-dime: With the help of Kroger and coupons:Today I became an Extreme Couponer

I have been at this coupon thing for quite a while. And it has been my goal to walk of the grocery store with them owing me money.  Today was that day for me. I walked out of Kroger with 172.28 worth of items. Did not even have to pay the tax. And I still have $2.57 credit left on my Kroger card to use on my next trip.
Wow it was great to leave the store with a full shopping cart and not owe them any money from my checking account. No I don't do this good every week, but this week I clipped and I saved.
I also earned 207 points toward the 10 cents off a gallon program with the purchase of my free food.

Food Storage Review Honeyville Farms

I admit that I am one of those people who likes to think ahead, and be prepared for anything. That is why I love to have powdered eggs and milk on hand all the time. 
 I can see some of you rolling your eyes. LOL

 Ever been right in the middle of a recipe?
The next words out of your mouth are "Oh no out of eggs, or milk. "
 I have been there, and that is what started me ordering from a company called Honeyville .
 Happily I never run out of these items any more.
 They don't have to be keep in the fridge the can sits right on your shelf.
 I only use these in cooking. It is so convenient to use these products. Even the hubby loves to cook with them.
    I use fresh eggs to scramble, fresh milk for drinking.
 I promise you, for using in a recipe you will never know the difference.
    My hubby and I love their six grain cereal, so much better than plain oatmeal.
I decided to try the freeze dried sausage crumbles. Really wasn't sure If I would like them, but guess what they are great.
 Even my son who is not like Mikey, he is picky to the max, but  he likes them.
They don't have to be kept in the fridge. So if you lose you power you still have meat in the house. 
This company is a pleasure to do business with.
I have not been compensated for my opinion, I just think they have quality products and a fair price.
 I will be trying the freeze dried   ground beef next. I will let you know what I think.

They have a promo code check them out if you have the time.

What was your best coupon buy this week? 

save-a-dime: at RITEAID

My best deal so far this week was at RiteAid. They have the Venus razor on sale for $9.99 you get $4.00 back in up rewards, a fair deal I guess, but not great. Well as I was looking at my coupons I realized that I had 3 coupons that would work a great deal for me. The first coupon read if you buy any Venus refill cartridge you get a Venus razor for free. Now the deal is looking better. The next coupon was for $2.00 off a Venus cartridge. The last coupon states that if you purchase Venus cartridge you get a Olay body wash for free up to 7.99.

 This is how it played out. I bought the Venus 4 pack cartridge for 12.49. I also bought the Olay Embrace razor priced at 9.99. Next I found the Olay body wash for $7.49 and it had a free bar of Olay Soap attached to it, another freebie. I had $5.00 in rewards to use on this transaction. the retail on this deal $29.97 after coupons and reward bucks I paid out of pocket $5.49. They gave me back $4.00 in up rewards. I think this was a great buy. So if you have a coupon binder check it for those coupons it is a great deal. I got the coupons out of the Sunday papers I can't remember which week.
