My Shopping Trip: Stop & Shop
My Shopping Trip: Stop & Shop
This shopping trip is dedicated to all those that say “there are never any coupons for anything I buy”, “I don’t eat junk food therefore I can’t coupon”, “coupons are only for high sugar, unhealthy items”. Maybe you have heard these same “excuses” from friends and family. If so, email this page to those naysayers because we couponers know how awesome and life changing couponing truly is! It’s trips like this that I want to tell the whole world…see, good stuff here people…good stuff!

I thought before you could get two prints when you got the Kashi coupon off recyclebank but I could only get 1 print. So I won’t be able to get 4 coupons by today for the Kashi deal, is the Kashi deal next week just as good? Thanks!
Also, is there a coffeemate deal next week?
I don’t think the Kashi deal next week is as good because sometimes the $ back wyb $$ is AFTER coupons. Not only that, but it’s $5 off MEAT not just anything…
Coffeemate is 3/$5 – w/ the catalina and coupons, could be a MM!
I think your confusing that with a different deal on Kashi, next week it’s spend $15 on Kashi, Method, or Scott, and get back a $5 catalina However, it could actually work on shelf prices and be a MoneyMaker after coupons (with the Kashi)
the $5 off Meat will be with the Kellogg’s items.
Oops, you’re right – the meat $5 is with Kraft! But the Kashi deal is $/$$ IS and don’t those usually work off your final total after sale & coupons? At the bottom of the Kashi & other items page it says all minimum spend requirements must be met after all discounts and coupons…. I find that sometimes those work before coupons, sometimes they don’t – that’s why I always prefer buy # get $!
You can’t “double print” the Kashi like you can the bricks coupons. Its 75 points per coupon, 2 coupons per 24 hour period. So in your recyclebank account you would put in Quantity 2 for the Kashi coupons, 150 points would be deducted from your account, and then you could print two coupons. So if you only printed one Kashi today, and you have enough points, you could print another Kashi today. Then tomorrow you could do 2 more. There are a lot of opportunities right now to rake in the points on Recyclebank with Earth day coming up too! HTH!
Thank u! I got it now!
Hi, How did you get 2 $2/3 yogurt coupons? I could only print 1.
I signed up and printed and my daughter signed up and printed.
So if I use my daughters e-mail can I print another one on the same computer?
Not sure. I printed it on my computer and she printed it on hers.
Yes, you can use the same computer with a different email-I just printed another one. Thanks Cindy!
I’m so glad to see an “organic” shopping trip that benefitted from coupons!
It’s actually a great week for us who have organic/vegetarian diet. I stocked up on organic Nasoya tofu ($0.49 at A &P and pathmark),Egg beaters, Kashi (Stop and Shop), Earthbound organic produce.Next week is a major stock up on Morningstar farm, Kashi meals and Cascadian products.
People who think couponing is for junk food are missing a lot and that include my sister and friend.LOL!!
Amy, where are the deals on Cascadian farm products? I have a ton of coupons. TIA
Hi Laura! Next week at Shoprite, Cascadian farms cereal, granola bars and veggies are on sale for $2.99 . I have the $0.85 and $0.75 q’ s that I’m planning to use. I love their cereal.
How did you get the Tofu for .49?
They were on sale for $1.99 and there’s a coupon for $0.75 (doubled to $1.50) from nasoya website. Sale ended yesterday but I looked it up online at Stop and Shop and they’re on sale for $2.50 so if you have the coupon, it’s only $1 ( still a good price). I’ll be picking up a couple more this week.
Don’t know if this happened to anyone else, but I went to the Union S&S to do the Kashi deal, only to be told that, because I used coupons, the Catalina wouldn’t print and they wouldn’t redeem me.
First, I had tons of problems with the coupons because they have the new bar codes and the Union S&S seems to be lacking an update to their scanners, but it was just a giant mess. Love Kashi cereal and still ended up keeping the five boxes, but very disappointed I didn’t get the Catalina.
I picked up the oikos yogurt today along with 2 gold peak tea. The tea coupon gave me overage so after savingstar credit (& bag credit) it’ll be $0.40 for 10 yogurts & 2 drinks…a happy couponing day
Love it
I did the Kashi deal twice & the Oikos with the cat. After bag credits & savingstar $1.20 for 10 boxes of Kashi cereal & 10 Oikos
Are the kashi and oikos still on for next week? i totally missed out this week.
Were the yogurt on sale? Or is that the regular price?
