LOVING LOWES FOODS IN LELAND FOR TRIPLE COUPONS

It was nothing for me to save about 89% at the grocery store.  

Lowes Foods in Leland is new and is running a triple coupon promotion with no end in sight.

I've been hearing a lot about the new Lowes Foods in Leland... which has been running a triple coupon promotion for several weeks.  But, it took Mavis from Mavis Savers to convince me to check it out for myself.

That location will triple any coupon less than $1.  You can use 20 coupons a day.  I am out-of-pocket $9.12 after tax for all of the stuff above.  It would have normally cost $79.54!

The food sales will last through Tuesday night, but there's no timeline for the triple coupon promotion.

HOW DID I DO IT?  I used coupons with stuff already on sale.  PLUS, there's a KRAFT deal (easy explanation below.)  I forgot about the KRAFT deal - had I planned for it, I could've saved an additional $5.  **THE KRAFT DEAL CAN BE DONE MOST ANYWHERE WITHOUT COUPONS**

Here's a look at some of the coupons I used:

A QUICK LOOK AT THE KRAFT DEAL:

Here are the basics:  If you buy a certain amount of KRAFT products, KRAFT will give you money back.  

Buy 3-5, get $2
Buy 6-9, get $5
Buy 10, get $10

And... you can use coupons.  So, if you're smart at math, you could get 10 items as-close-to-free-as-possible with coupons... and then earn $10 back to use again at Lowes Foods.
 
Because of bad planning, I bought 9 items. ARGH.

I know I can't live off of Krunchers and Mac and Cheese.  But, I believe in moderation... and because we don't make a practice of having junk food in the house, it's a nice treat sometimes.  And, when mac and cheese is free, I have the option of making it for the hubby and me... or donating it.  

Couponing really can be easy.  This week I spent $9 on groceries... it took me longer to blog about this than it did to go shopping.  I believe this can really make a difference in the way you live.  My husband really loves saving the money... we use that towards bills and more fun!
