Shopping at Homeland Grocery Store Today

This is a mess up, on what to do when shopping, so you can benefit the most! Well, here is what to do..

Steps:

1. Entering the store, take a Store Flyer, you will not remember what you are doing in the store, if you neglect this step.

2. Do not assume, you know the deals.

3. Check on your calculator on what you intend to spend, after coupons, to see if it is close to how much the cashier will be asking you for at the end of transaction.

So, do you want to know what I did? Well I printed my Kellogs Coupons, HEREm make sure you print some of these or other coupons from ME ; ). Then I bought, 4 boxes of Frosted Flakes, and then 2 boxes of Raisin Bran, hoping to get these for $12 minus my $3 in coupons, to pay $9 for cereal, and get 2 catalinas for milk back.

Well, did not have the ad, and did not know that Raisin Bran was not on the deal, but it was on sale, so I paid $18 minus $3, for cereal, instead of my original scenerio, which I messed up, and would have probably caught my mistake if I did not have other items in my shopping cart. Hence, this is why I like to shop deals seperately then regular shopping!

Also, on a side note, if you buy 7 boxes of Kellogs Cereal, you will get 3 catalinas for free milk! If you buy 6, you get 2 Free Milk Catalinas

And, then there were peelies, on 24 pack Coke and Dr. Pepper Products, for $2 off 2/ 24 packs, which are on sale for $5.99 a 24 pack this week!

Have a great week, and have some fun grocery shopping when you get the deals.

Great tip about just reading the ad!

A couple weeks ago, it was a free 2-litre soda for a $10 in purchase -- I saw people not even take the dang free soda!

By the way, I just posted tonight, but the grocery deals have been light for the last 3 weeks.
