Why pay for Cheese?

I have seen so many blogs saying 50 cents for 5 but why pay for it when you can make money on it???
* And yes that is an amazing price I would stock up on it...but I wanted to try this deal at QFC and it worked!

I got all this cheese for a PROFIT of $1.10!!

Here is how I did it :

Buy 10 at $1.89 get $5 off instantly!

So 10 for $1.39!

Then used 5 of the $1/2 Blinkies next to the cheese!

Total= $8.90 then get back two $5 catalinas!

*I had $6 in catalinas from the Ben and Jerrys so my OOP was smaller.

So my Total after Catalinas = +$1.10

QFC Trip!! Deal Ends today!

So I was chatting with my friend Amber over at CouponConnectionsNW
and we were figuring out the best way for me and my friend Sam
to use my $1/1 Ben and Jerrys Coupons!

Here is what we came up with!

Buy 10 then Get them for $1.75 each!
- 10 $1/1 coupons
= $7.50 and then I got back $6 in catalinas back!!
15 cents each!!!

Now how much will it be if you use your 5 of your $1/2 coupons?
$12.50 OOP - $6.00 in catalinas = 65 cents each!

QFC Trip!!!

So can I tell you before couponing, I was a TIDE snob! I would only get tide and nothing else!
But now, I do what I can to get a great deal and clean clothes!
I do love getting my Tide travel packets! Those make my day!!!
Now the only reason I could justify getting cheaper detergant is using Tide Stain Release, and of course I still use Fabric Softner and Dryer sheets!

Now what do I consider a good deal on different brands? $0.49- $1.00

Here is the deal I got at QFC:
Xtra on sale $1.99
$1/1 from 6/6 SS
Total=$0.99

I have seen this for $0.49 when I was in Ohio at CVS, but I stocked up at this price!!!

Thank you Frugal Reader Sam!!!

Qfc!

Here is our Frugal Friend Stephanies trip to QFC!

I went to QFC today and got 8 boxes of granola bars and 4 boxes of Capn Crunch for $7.50.

Here is how she did it!!

4 of the $.75/2 quaker granola bars 5/2RP

4 of the $0.50/1 Capn Crunch Q from 5/16 RP.

She did it in 2 transactions, so each box of cereal was $0.50 and the granola bars were $0.68. The cereal gave me a savings of 87% and the granola bars were a savings of 74%

AND ANOTHER IDEA!!

Quaker Mini Rice Cakes $1

buy 6 and save $3 Instantly

Total: $0.50 each

(Remember this ends Tuesday)
