Here is my version of an Extreme Couponing Shopping Trip. I personally don’t get all crazy buying enough toothbrushes to last me a lifetime, but I do buy a good amount of things when they are free or close to it. And my motto is, if it’s for free and it’s not for me, it can be donated.
In this case, we will use everything I purchased. The funny thing about this trip, which has never happened to me before, is that every manufacturer coupon was a printable coupon and there were 28 of them.
The trip took me about 30 minutes to plan including printing and clipping my coupons and my shopping list. And it took me 30 minutes in and out of ShopRite.
Here is what I purchased:
5 Boxes Special K Cereal (variety) $2.49 each
2 Cheerios $2.00 each
1 Honey Nut Cheerios $2.00 each
2 Cinnamon Toast Crunch $2.00 each
20 Yoplait Yogurt $0.39 each
6 Red Gold Tomatoes $0.49 each
6 Red Pack Tomatoes $0.67 each
6 Poland Spring Sparkling Water $0.40 each
4 Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate $0.88 each
10 Boxes Ronzoni Quick Cook Pasta $0.40 each
3 packs of Boneless Chicken $14.34
