These shopping trips are part of my $12 Challenge. Click here to see entire list of everything I purchased!
It’s over! I decided I’d end the challenge when I reached $1,000 and I went well past that mark since my last update… and still have money left to spend! I think with careful planning I could have kept this going on for a long, long time. This challenge was super fun but also lots of work. The shopping was tough and typing in all the transactions was even tougher! I’m glad it’s over :O)

I had so much fun handing out coupons at Hannaford tonight. The coupons from the Hannaford booklet that came out last fall are expiring next week, so I want to make sure every single one that I have left gets put to good use. Tonight, I hung out at the registers at Hannaford (yes, coupon geek) and passed coupons out to everyone who had Hannaford and/or My Essential items. I also brought lots of $2 off coupons with me too and handed those to everyone I could find.
During one of my trips through the register, I had a woman directly in front of me and a young couple directly behind me. Their purchases were small, which was perfect because it made the coupons look more impressive. The woman in front of me had a total of $4.15 and had one My Essential item so I gave her $2 off and $1 off and she ended up at $1.15 and you would have thought she won the lottery! The couple behind me had a higher total, $7.53, but I was able to get it down to $4.53 with a $1 off and the $2 off. They were equally happy.
I also passed out coupons to shoppers in the store and even ran into another couponer who follows my blog! And I also saw my couponing cousin! On my way out, I spotted the woman who was so happy to get her total down to $1.15 and I gave her more coupons to help her out over her next few transactions. That got me a bear hug and a big old kiss on the cheek! LOL She really was sweet.

I can’t believe I was able to score this French’s Spicy Brown Mustard deal at Shaw’s! I mentioned it in this post, but at the time the Sanford store had none in stock. I figured since this was an item that was reduced to 50% off, they would not stock more. BUT THEY DID!!!
Lucky for me I had 4 coupons that I printed last month, then also had the new ones that came out this month. That gave me 8 coupons total (I print using 2 computers). Here’s how the deal worked:
Bought (8) French’s Spicy Brown Mustard, reg $1.49, on sale for 50% off, total $5.96
Used (8) $.30/1 French’s Spicy Brown Mustard coupons (NLA?)
coupons doubled to $.60 off in two separate transactions
Final price was just $1.16 total, so just 15¢ each!
