My favorite shopping trips are the ones that happen unexpectedly.  Like my trip to Pathmark to pick up the Free Lysol Foaming Hand Soaps. 

Yesterday I headed to A&P which is running the same promotion on the soap as Pathmark but unfortunately the shelves at A&P were bare. So, I headed to the Pathmark down the street and, not only did I get my free Lysol soap, I also scored some extra deals from catalina coupons that were printing.

After I did the first transaction of the four Lysol products, I received a catalina coupon for $1.50 off any produce and a coupon for a free America’s Choice Ketchup with any purchase.  Since, I don’t go to Pathmark that often, I figured, I would take advantage of the coupons right then and there.  So, I grabbed 3+ lbs of bananas at $0.49/lb and the ketchup.  Used my coupons for a total out of pocket of just $0.33.

After the bananas/ketchup transaction, I received even more catalina coupons.  It was like when you buy a scratch off lottery ticket and win $1 and go back and use your winning ticket to buy another and win again.  They just kept coming.  This time I received a coupon for $1 off any frozen product.

So, yep…I headed back in to grab a bag of Italian Village Raviolis that were priced at $1.00 making them free.

So, after the 3 quick transactions, I spent a total of just $0.33.  Pretty sweet for an unplanned trip!
