My 9/5 Wegmans freebies - popsicles and Kikkoman

I picked up a few items for FREE at Wegmans today:

4 packages of North Star Patriot Pops
On sale for $0.99, used 4 $0.50 coupons (doubled to $0.99) from being registered here
Note: I've been buying these every time I've shopped at Wegmans most of the summer, but the $0.99 price ends on Saturday 9/10.  If you haven't bought them yet or you have and need to stock up on more, make sure you get them this week while they're still free after coupon!

5 packages of various Kikkoman seasonings
Priced at $0.79 each, I used a total of 4 $1.00 coupons from here and here and a $0.55 coupon from here
Note: Wegmans policy is to not allow for an overage, so I expected the $1 coupons to automatically adjust down to $0.79 and the $0.55 coupon to only "double" up to $0.79 (just like the $0.50 popsicle coupons only "double to $0.99).  However, the $1 coupons beeped and a message to the effect of "coupon exceeds product price" popped up on the screen.  I figured the cashier would manually enter them as $0.79, but she entered the full $1 for all 4, and the $0.55 coupon doubled to the full $1.10.  I will say that my cashier was very vocal about not being happy about working on the registers (apparently she normally works in another department but was called to the front end because it was so busy), so I may not have gotten the overage with a different cashier (and I did have other items I was buying to offset it, so I probably wouldn't have gotten cash back if those were the only things I purchased).

9/4 - 9/10 Tops deals

I didn't think this week's Tops ad was all that great, but there were a few good deals I picked up today.  Here is what I bought:

4 boxes of Cocoa Puffs - $1.00 each
On sale 4/$10, used 4 $0.75 coupons (double to $1.50) from coupons.com (I used zip 30303 when I printed them a few weeks ago, but it looks like it may no longer be available - sorry!)

4 packages Heluva Good cheese - $1.00 each
On sale 2/$4, used 4 $0.50 coupons (double to $1.00) from here

4 cans of Progresso soup - $1.00 each
On sale 4/$5, used $1 off 4 coupon from the 8/7 SmartSource General Mills coupon insert

1 Hatfield ham steak - $0.50
On sale 2/$5, used $2 coupon I received in the mail from the manufacturer (there is also a $2 coupon available by signing up here and a $1 coupon from their Facebook page here, but since I had already printed them previously I couldn't print them again)

2 boxes of Eggo waffles/toaster sticks - $1.50 each
On sale 2/$4, used the $1 off 2 coupon from the 8/7 Red Plum coupon insert

10 boxes of Kleenex tissues - 6 @ $0.60 each and 4 @ $0.75 each
On sale 10/$10, used 2 $0.60 off 3 coupons (double to $1.20) I printed a while ago from couponnetwork.com that are no loner available (sorry again!) and a $1 off 4 coupon from the 8/14 (I think) SmartSource coupon insert

6 packages of Hunt's Snack Pack pudding - 2 @ $0.50 each and 4 @ $0.75 each
On sale 10/$10, used $0.50 off 2 coupon (doubles to $1) from the September All You magazine and $1 off 4 coupon from the 8/7 SmartSource coupon insert
Note: I noticed today at Wegmans that these are on sale for the same price, plus they had additional flavors that Tops didn't have -- too bad I went to Tops first!

I also bought some Fresh Express bagged salads (no coupons, but on sale)

My retail total was $78.06 and I paid $32.63 after discounts and coupons, for a savings of approximately 58%. 

Since Tops' coupon policy is to double only 4 like coupons per day and I have another 4 Cocoa Puffs and 4 Heluva Good cheese coupons, I will be going back again this week.  Also, when I was in the produce department I noticed that Mariani dried fruit was on sale with prices starting at $1.99 and there is a $0.75 coupon from the 8/7 SmartSource coupon insert (the coupon states 'do not double' but the UPC code starts with a 5 which generally automatically doubles at the register, making these $0.49), so I may pick up a package of  these as well.

New Target coupons

Even though there were no coupon inserts in today's newspaper, there are a bunch of new printable coupons on Target's website. Make sure you go ahead and print any you might want to use, because they don't always last long before the print limit is reached.

Holiday weekend = no coupon inserts

Due to the Labor Day holiday, there will be no coupon inserts in tomorrow's newspaper. Enjoy the last bit of summer vacation!

More free juice at Tops!

The other day I posted about using the $1 off Simply Orange coupon at coupons.com to get free orange juice at Tops.  Well, I found today that the small bottles of Simply Lemonade (plain and with raspberry) are also $1 each at Tops.  Print the $1 off any Simply Limeade, Simply Lemonade, or Simply Lemonade with Rasberry coupon also at coupons.com to score some for free!
