I have been meaning to post pics of goodies that I picked up over the past 5 days but never got around to it. So, now I’m cramming them all in one photo! And I’m sad that you can’t see the 4 bags of Brookside Chocolate in there because I was so excited about those! They are hiding behind the pantiliners.
I can’t take the time right now to look up every coupon that I used. Most of you know the deals. If you want specifics, leave a comment below and I’ll link you to the deal. Or you can search for a deal in the search box at the top right of my header!
These were not all done in one day, so separate transactions. I finally got some croutons! I still have a rain check from when they were out… and I kept that for later 🙂

Hi, Would like to know about the Sun Bird coupons.Thanks 🙂
They are no longer available 🙁
I meant to add that they were printables and they had reset so we were able to print twice. Check your stash!
Yeah, thanks everyone for the feedback. I was simply trying to get the whole picture, which does matter to me.
It’s good to do your homework! I promise you, whatever the cost for the coupons for my trip, I still only paid a couple of bucks out of pocket (not including gas for my jeep…LOL), and that trip had to be well over $100. So totally worth it!
🙂
Hi Darlene,
Where did you get the Sun Bird coupons?? Are they old?
I am just getting into the clipping services….. any suggestions on when to buy or what i should buy or know about them…… Thanks!!!
Yes! I have a post for that! 🙂 https://darlenemichaud.com/04/15/2013/comparing-the-coupon-clippers-my-coupon-hunter-coupon-dede-klip2save/
In my opinion, I don’t think it matters the cost of someone’s coupons. That seems so irrelevant to me because whether we buy Sunday papers, do internet prints, order from a clipping service, traded, collected inserts from friends, or dumpster dive, it really doesn’t make any difference and would be too time consuming to keep up with. Of course we all have to GET the coupons. I’ve seen this question on other sites so I thought I would finally put in my two cents.
I agree!
I’ve saved a ton of money using clipping services versus using just the Sunday newspaper. I prefer getting EXACTLY what I want rather than sifting through pages of ads for printed checks or address labels. 😀 That’s just me, though.
That totally cracked me up about the address labels and checks! LOL
Cracked me up too! I may start doing this coupon clipping service thing. It would do away with me having a huge box of sorted clipped coupons and most end up in the trash anyway. The only thing is I really like being able to pull the coupons and have them on-hand as soon as I find a deal. The mail service has gotten so bad. I traded with a girl on Monday last week and she has not received my coupons and I have not received hers! The deal I wanted is over now.
Darlene, did you buy any Qs for this trip?
For sure! I ordered quaker, texas toast croutons, rice, nissin, pretzels…
So does your final total (profit) include the coupon costs (including shipping)?
I don’t include the cost of coupons as that would include too many things, like ink, toner, paper, electricity to run my printer, the scissors I break… lol! All coupons cost something. Buying from the clippers is super, duper cheap and I shop when they have discounts. So, with the clipping services and printing costs, maybe add $5.00 total so less than $3.00 out of pocket 🙂
No overages happen at NH Shaws. Lucky ME shoppers.
But you guys don’t have tax! 🙂
I thought of that right after!
LOL
i went to cvs and printed my coupons out of the machine and i never got a brookside chocolate.
The Brookside Chocolate coupons did not come from the coupon machine. There was a printable CVS store coupon and a printable manny coupon. See here… https://darlenemichaud.com/04/21/2013/free-brookside-dark-chocolate-covered-fruit-at-cvs-with-printable-coupon-stack/
How are you getting overages at Shaw’s? I thought that grocery store didn’t allow overages??
Shaw’s now allows overages but just not cash back if your entire order is negative. But if a coupon scans and gives you the overage, as long as it does not state DND, the cashier is supposed to let it stick! You can read this entire thread and read shaw’s response… https://www.facebook.com/Shaws/posts/10151304128532181
*does a cartwheel* I had no idea!!!! Thank you for sharing this information! 😀
The trouble is, not all Shaw’s understand this policy! LOL If you have issues, post on shaw’s facebook page and they will clear it up! 🙂
