I don’t normally shop at Schnucks since there is a Shop ‘n Save less than a few blocks from my house, but after looking through their ad this week, and reading Coupon STL where I learned about this Ziploc Bag Deal, I decided to add a trip to Schnucks to my to-do list today. Then, I remembered that the Schnucks at 10650 Olive Blvd in Creve Coeur doubles coupons so I decided to go there instead of to the Schnucks on St. Charles Rock Road which is closer to my house. And I’m glad I did.
I used a coupon for every item you see in the picture except for the Chili Sauce and Bread. Those were just on sale and a good deal compared to what I usually pay at Shop N Save.
The main buys I was interested in were first, the Ziploc deal. They were $2.99 a box and if you bought 3 then you got a $2 coupon back at the register. I used a .45 cent coupon off 1 box, and a .40 cent coupon off each of the other two boxes. This .40 cent coupon was doubled to .80 both times. After coupons, I paid about $2.30 per box, but with the Ziploc rebate I mentioned above I’ll get $5 back. This makes each box only .63 cents per box! By the way, you can mail that rebate in 3 times per household!!
The Yogurt was on sale 10 for $5. I had a $1.00 off coupon for those.
The SteamFresh Veggies were also 10 for $10. I only bought two though and used a .35 cent off coupon for each. That was doubled to .70 cents per bag, so I only paid .30 cents per bag.
The Green Giant Frozen Veggies were on sale 3 for $5. I only bought 2 of those for about $1.67 per bag and used a $1.00 coupon off 2, so those came out to about $1.17 per bag.
Jet Dry was regular price at $4.69, but a .40 cent coupon doubled made it only $3.89. This wasn’t on my shopping list, but I did this at Schnucks because I had compared prices with this item earlier at Dollar General and it was $4 there. While cheaper at DG, the double coupon saved me .11 cents more.
The Hunts canned chili tomatoes were on sale $1.45 per can. I had planned on using two .45 cent coupons on these but you had to buy 3 per coupon. I found a vendor coupon on the shelf at Schnucks for $1 off 4 though. So, with one $1 coupon, I decided to also try to use one of the .45 cent coupons as well. It worked! So, with $1.45 off, I basically got 1 can for free.
I also used coupons on the Dole fruit cups, Swanson Chicken Broth, and the Pledge wipes.
Total spent out-of-pocket was $43.04.
I saved a total of $9.70 in coupons. $1.90 of this was from double coupons. Not bad.
