Here’s how I’m working the Shaw’s gift card deal to score lots of goodies wicked cheap! Before I start, I want to let you know that this is the first time I do a gift card deal like this. And my awesome Shaw’s helped me learn the ropes! They are absolutely awesome in Sanford! And they don’t pay me to say that! lol
I know some of you shop at certain Shaw’s that are not a willing to show their love for couponers. If you have issues, do your survey that is on the bottom of your receipt and be honest! Not only can you win $100 by doing the survey, but Shaw’s will listen to what you have to say! It might help!
You can see the gift card deal is HERE and it’s going on through 11/28. You can use the MasterCard to purchase another MasterCard. You can’t use the $20 catalina to purchase a gift card, but you can use it toward the activation fee.
I know some are getting the full $2.00 value of the EE bogo coupon even when buying something less than $1.00. That never happened for me. And yes, I did lots of transactions! This was over two nights.
If your store is out of $100 mastercards, ask if they have more! Sanford says they have plenty!
I was going to break down every single transaction, but after a few attempts, I gave up. It would just take too long. Instead, I’ll show you how I did a few to give you an idea of how to do this.
The trick is to get as close to $120 after all other coupons. Then you use your $20 cat and $100 gift card to pay the bill!
I bought a $100 MasterCard and paid $5.95 activation fee
OOP (out of pocket) was $5.95
I’m not out that $100 because I now have it in the form of a mastercard
Got $20 catalina toward my next purchase.
I bought (1) package Sanford Town Trash Bags for $10
I bought (2) EE Food Storage Bags at $2.59 each
I bought (1) Bread in reduced for $1.20
I bought another $100 mastercard plus $5.95 activation fee
Total was $122.35 including tax
I used (1) EE bogo coupon, deducted $2.00
I used $20 cat and $100 gift card
OOP was $.35
I got another $20 catalina
I bought (2) gallons Milk at $3.80 each
I bought (8) Del Monte Canned Mixed Veggies on sale for $1.00 each
I bought (2) Ramen Noodles at $.25 each
I bought another $100 mastercard plus $5.95 activation fee
Total should have been $122.05 but it subtracted $.06 tax?, so $121.99
I used (2) $.50/4 Del Monte coupons (doubled to $1.00 off)
I used $20 cat and $100 gift card
OOP was ZERO (it left a penny on my card! lol)
I got another $20 catalina
I bought a Beef Roast at $17.96
I bought another $100 mastercard plus $5.95 activation fee
Total was $123.91
I used $3.00 off stickie coupon on the meat
I used the penny left on the previous card (yes, I did!)
I used $20 cat and $100 gift card
OOP was $.90
I got another $20 catalina
And I just kept going and going and going.
I got…
5 Sanford Trash Bags (those would normally cost $50 total!!!)
2 EE Nutty Nuggets cereal
2 Glad Cling Wrap
4 EE Ketchup
2 Cains Mayo
2 EE Canned Apricot
2 Beef Pot Roasts (one not in photo, in my belly)
2 EE Vegetable Oil
1 Argo Cornstarch
2 EE Brown Sugar
2 EE Raisin Canister
2 EE Sandwich Bags
2 EE Butter
8 EE Toilet Paper 1000 Sheets 4 Pack
8 Boxes Gelatin
2 McCormick Spices
2 Canola Oil
2 EE Storage Bags
1 Bread
2 Ramen Soup
8 Cans Del Monte Veggies
2 Gallons Milk
The total for the stuff I got (at sale price) is $205.39
After coupons and cats…
I paid $11.27 OOP
And that includes initial $5.95 activation fee, so everything in pic was only $5.32!
And I still have a $20.00 cat left over (and a $100 mastercard)
And guess where I’m going tomorrow!

I had to run to the bank tonight to make a deposit, and since my bank is in the same parking lot as Walgreens, I thought it would be a good time to run in and pick up my 10 FREE Lindt chocolate bars for my mother (update: she tasted, she loves!). The candy bars are on sale 2 for $4.00 and I had 10 coupons for $2.00 off each (NLA) so all FREE!
Then I ran over to Shaw’s to pick up my very first Redbox rental. I got The King’s Speech, a movie I know my mother will love. I got that for FREE too using code NW2PCLP3.
I got so much help today (and lots of laughs) from my facebook buddies on how to use Redbox (thanks, everyone!). I’m such a chicken with stuff like that. But with this daunting task behind me, I feel like I can say what my little Skylar says all the time… I’m grown now. (P.S. I passed on the chips I planned on getting for movie time ’cause I’m a little too grown, if you know what I mean).

Everything went smooth as silk for me today at Shaw’s! I ran in to pick up my Classico. I planned on doing maybe just one transaction, but it went so well that I did all 6 of my transactions today, plus one for reduced stuff. I went to my car twice to put stuff away then got back in line. It wasn’t busy, and I don’t think anyone ever got behind me, but just in case someone did, I don’t like doing more than 2 back to back. Also, I get flustered if I do it all at once. And I need all the exercise I can get, so going to the car and back is good for me!
Before I give you my break down, I want to explain that I have 2 separate SavingStar accounts, one in my name and one in my husband’s name, each with their own store cards and Shaw’s tags. Whenever there is a good SavingStar deal, I get to do it twice!
Here we go…
For the Classico, I did separate transactions using 2 different SavingStar accounts, 12 jars on each tag.
Transaction #1:
(4) Classico Pasta Sauce 24 oz on sale for $1.50 each
(2) Prince Pasta (Shaw’s sale is 1 free pasta for every 2 jars of sauce)
Used $1/3 Classico printable coupon (might be reset again! no longer available)
I paid $5.00 at the register
I got $3.00 OYNO catalina for buying 4 Classico 24 oz
Transactions #2 thru #6
(4) Classico Pasta Sauce 24 oz on sale for $1.50 each
(2) Prince Pasta (Shaw’s sale is 1 free pasta for every 2 jars of sauce)
Used $1/3 Classico printable coupon (might be reset again! no longer available)
Also used $3 cat from previous transaction
I paid $2.00 at the register
I got $3.00 OYNO catalina for buying 4 Classico 24 oz
After those 6 transactions, I ended up with 24 jars of Classico and 12 boxes of Prince and I paid $15.00 out of pocket. I also had a $3.00 catalina left over.
I also sent through the salt in two separate transactions using my 2 SavingStar accounts.
(1) Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt at $1.15 (reg price in Sanford)
Used (1) $.40/1 Diamond Crystal printable (it was on zip 33133, NLA?)
coupon doubled to $.80 off
I paid $.35 at the register
did this twice… totally need salt to boil all that pasta!
Produce:
7 bananas, 7 plums, 2 oranges, 1 apple, 3 yellow squash, all in reduced
Total $3.37
I used my last $3.00 catalina
I paid $.37 for all my produce
Paid at the register
Classico deal $15
Salt $.70
Produce $.37
Total at register: $16.07
SavingStar refunds (2 accounts)
(2) $5.00 refunds for Classico, $10
(2) $.40 refunds for the salt. $.80
Total SavingStar refunds: $10.80
Final price is only $5.27 for everything you see!

I’ve had lots of good runs to Shaw’s this week! I ran in to pick up my bleach that I meant to pick up yesterday (could not find my coupons yesterday, but they were right there in my envelop the whole time). I also brought along my last 4 Sun-Bird coupons because I knew I’d get a nice overage to pay for the bleach. Just before heading out the door, I printed the new Beach-Nut coupon and was able to pick up more free Fruities! And I could not believe my eyes when I spotted the big $.75 sale sign on the eggs!
Here’s what I got and how I got it:
8 Dozen Eggs marked down to $.75 each (I got dates of May 22!)
No coupons, total was $6.00
4 Clorox concentrated bleach, 64 oz, on sale for $2.00 each
I used (4) $.75/1 coupons, all doubled, total was $2.00
I doubt the coupon is still available but you can check here
4 Sun-Bird Seasoning Mixes at $.99 each
I used (4) $.80/1 coupons, all doubled fully, total was FREE plus $2.44 overage!
coupon is no longer available
4 Beech-Nut Fruities On the Go Stage 4 on sale for $.89 each
I used (4) $1/1 Beech-Nut Stage 4, total was FREE plus $.40 overage!
Grand total was $5.16… not bad!

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 🙂
Shaw’s
8 boxes Nissin Short Cuts, $.49 each with coupons, total $3.92
2 boxes Fiber One cereal, $1.00 each with coupons, total $2.00
4 bags Texas Toast croutons, $.20 each with coupons, total $.80

4 cans Muir Glen tomato paste, FREE plus $1.24 overage (Qs doubled fully!)
Sun Bird seasoning packets, FREE with coupons plus $2.44 overage (Qs doubled fully!)
Total: $7.34
I will get $.75 refund in my savingstar account for Fiber One
My husband, will get a $.75 refund in my, I mean his, SavingStar account for Fiber One 🙂
Final price is $5.84
Walmart:
11 packs U by Kotex pantiliners, FREE plus $8.36 overage! (I had 12 coupons but lost one… argh!)
4 Duncan Hines Frosting Creations packets, FREE plus $.64 overage!
Total: $9.00 money maker!
CVS:
4 bags Brookside chocolates (at CVS), FREE with coupons
Total: FREE
If I apply the overage I got at Walmart to cover the Shaw’s trip, and after tax of $.88 for the liners and the candy, I ended up making $2.28 buying all this stuff!
Grand total: $2.28 Money Maker!!!

(1) $7/1 Tena (thank you, Mary Lou!)
