Extreme Couponing Shopping Trip
Yesterday I tried to make a second trip to Pathmark for the super HOT General Mills Deal but they were all out of the cereal I had coupons for. Such a bummer…but I certainly can’t complain since I already did 2 transactions the other day. I’ll try again tomorrow.
But, I headed to ShopRite and Rite Aid to score yet another money maker of a trip. Booyah!
Just a note, the Friendship Sour Cream deal with the Buy 5 Get $5 instantly Tailgate eCoupon is a no go. I tried it and it didn’t work so I just returned them. Also, the coupons were not doubling. Sort of a pain but, again, I can’t complain with all these awesome deals. Part of couponing is the hit or miss deals. Sometimes things work great and sometimes…well, not so much. But, in the end, it’s all worth it.
Here is what I did yesterday at ShopRite and Rite Aid:
