I stopped by Shaw’s to pick up the last of the freebies I won during the Wish Big, Win Big game (I won more stuff here). While there, I figured I’d also pick up some free Mueller’s. Then I grabbed celery and yellow squash from reduced produce.
I got everything you see in the picture for just $1.29. And I found a penny on the ground, so my actual OOP was $1.28… (tee hee)
Here’s the breakdown:
Transaction 1:
1 FREE Chips with winning ticket
1 FREE Dish soap with winning ticket
1 FREE Canned pasta with winning ticket
1 FREE Canned veggies with winning ticket
4 FREE yogurts with winning tickets
4 boxes Mueller’s pasta, $1 each, FREE with these coupons
3 Yellow squash in reduced for $1.34
coupons doubled fully so I got $.40 overage
Total was $.94
Transaction 2:
4 boxes Mueller’s spaghetti, $1 each, FREE with these coupons
1 Celery in reduced for $.75
coupons doubled fully so I got $.40 overage
Total was $.35
Grand total was $1.29

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!

I finally got around to opening my Wish Big, Win Big game tickets on Sunday. I have not matched them up to the game board yet, so I don’t know if I won any prizes. But, I did win the freebies that you see in the picture!
1 box baking soda
1 bag dog treats
1 can broth
1 package gravy mix
1 yogurt
1 reusable shopping bag
Thank you Shaw’s!

These shopping trips are part of my $12 Challenge (see here).
I have not been going out shopping much lately. I even went two entire days without stepping foot in Shaw’s. I have enough of everything and really need to eat what’s in the freezer because there is no more room for anything new. But, I still managed to pick up a few things… ’cause that’s how I feed this addiction!
I ended up with an overage over these transactions, so I have more money in the pot than I did a few days ago. I think if I make it to $1,000 I’ll call it quits, because I honestly think I could make this go on for a very long time, mainly due to Walmart’s cash back for overages :O)

I didn’t buy much tonight (I usually always shop small) but I feel like I scored BIG TIME because I found Wholly in reduced produce at Shaw’s! I had coupons for $1.50 off and was so hoping to get to use them before they expired… and I got to! It wasn’t Wholly Guacamole, but Wholly Salsa. I would have preferred guacamole, but guess what? There was a huge Florida avocado in reduced produce too! So I can make my own guac! Woohoo!
As for Hannaford, I have been using the deli coupon to pick up sliced green peppers in with the pizza toppings (they are in deli and ring up as deli). I boil them for just one minute the freeze. It gives me awesome green peppers for stir fry, pizza, spaghetti sauce (gotta feed my mother her spaghetti!), pepper steak… anything!
