Add another case of water and 7 24-packs of soda to this picture!
You asked for it – you got it! Welcome to the very first Best Deal of The Week!
Best Deal of the Week will be posted every Wednesday (and usually at 7:00am. You’ll understand why this is late in a minute). There will be a Mr. Linky for you to post your best shopping trip in the past 7 days, or if you know of great deals at ANY grocery store, feel free to link to it! We have people here from all over the country, so you can post deals from your stores from Maine to Florida to Hawaii to Alaska! If your post isn’t ready by Wednesday, or you have multiple deals, feel free to leave links all week until the next Deal of The Week post!
I’m not shopping this week and I’m not cooking. We are living on leftovers and clearing out the fridge! Why? Because I am having a party for 70-80 people at my house on Saturday and need every inch of fridge and freezer space! If that means that Saturday morning breakfast is eggs and marashino cherries…so be it!
In addition, I am coordinating Bingo Night at school for about 300 people on Friday Night (yeah – I overextended myself just a titch). One thing that we do is sell water for $1/bottle and we usually sell about 100 bottles.
Therefore, I needed soda for the party and water for Bingo Night! Off to Genuardi’s to take advantage of the Living Well Catalina deals!
So here’s my deal of the week:
I ended up getting 24 6-packs of Deer Park Water and 9 24-packs of Pepsi products for a net cost of $12.25! Note: I did have a $15 gift card from Genuardi’s
Transaction #1: 3 24 packs of Pepsi at $4.99; 8 6 packs of water at $1.99
used $1/2 Deer Park, a $10 Living Well Catalina (from doing previous deals), <strong>$15 Gift card and $5.49 cash
Received: $10 Living Well Catalina and 4 $2 Catalinas from Deer Park and a $1/2 Deer Park Coupon
Transaction #2: 3 24 packs of Pepsi at $4.99; 8 6 packs of water at $1.99
used $1/2 Deer Park, $10 Living Well Catalina 4 $2 Catalinas from transaction #1 and $12.38 cash
Received: $10 Living Well Catalina and 4 $2 Catalinas from Deer Park and a $1/2 Deer Park coupon
Transaction #3: 3 24 packs of Pepsi at $4.99; 8 6 packs of water at $1.99
used $1/2 Deer Park, $10 Living Well Catalina 4 $2 Catalinas from transaction #2 and $12.38 cash
Received: $10 Living Well Catalina and 4 $2 Catalinas from Deer Park and a $1/2 Deer Park coupon
Total OOP: $30.25
Catalinas left: $18
Net Cost: $12.25
Total savings (according to Genuardi’s): 73%
(although in fairness, most people won’t have the $15 gift card that I had…so adjust the totals accordingly!)
The soda will be used for our party on Saturday and all the water should be used for Bingo Night…It’s like I got the water free!
Links must be directly to your post (not just your site) and should include a linkback to this post (something like “to see more great deals, check out Moms Need to Know”…or however you want to word it!)
When leaving a link in Mr Linky, please leave your name (or site name) and a description of your deal (Free soup at Kroger, $3,000 for $.02, etc)
Can’t wait to see your deals!
I don’t have a blog (yet), so I’ll post my best deals here in the comments. OK, I found the best deals at SuperFresh this week. My SuperFresh is doubling (up to 5) $1 coupons. So, I here’s how I used them.
Sale: Post Raisin Bran 2 for $4
I doubled the $1 of 2 and coupon and got them for $1 a piece.
Sale: Capri Sun 2 for $4
I doubled two of $1 of 1 and got them for free.
Also, my SuperFresh had the Reynolds 100% recycled (50sq.ft)
for 2 for $4.
I doubled two $1 off 1 and got those for free.
Now, these didn’t ring correctly and after I left, I saw them removing the sign. I guess I got lucky on that one.
But, you could also get the Dannon Lite/Fit for 20 cents a piece by doubling the coupon in this Sunday’s paper.
So to sum it up. I got two Reynolds foils, two Capri Sun(SunRise), and two Post Raisin Bran for a grand total of $2.
