Mel Says, ?Save Me The Money!? 5/6

As you can see, I have been slowly stockpiling Dr. Pepper at Albertsons this week. They are living on my kitchen counter until I make space, which better be soon!  I get (4) @ $1.67 each time I drive by and get a $5 catalina.  I had a plan? (besides the fact that my husband and kids live on the stuff.)

Buy (2) Beneful @ $15.99
Use (2) $2/1 Beneful Dog Food, 4/29 SS
Use (5) $5 Catalinas from above

Final Price: $2.98+tax (93% Savings)
(Of course, this means that technically, I paid nearly full price for the Dr Pepper (only saved 28%), but it is a good way to put my catalinas to use for our household)

The cheese from the photo below was also from Albertsons
Buy (2) Tillamook Cheese, $.99 w in-ad coupon

The rest of the photo is Fred Meyer.  Do you get the quarterly rewards?  They are so fun!  The more you buy at Fred Meyer, the higher your rewards.  Some are % off, and others are $ off.  Usually, no limit which means $2/$2 = FREE!  they come in the mail once per quarter.

Use: $8.66 Rewards
Use: $2 off Meat Reward

My last trip, I did not get a photo.  Going to the Mall makes me tired.  I might be the only woman alive who HATES going to the mall.  (I know, right?)  So I tend to hang on to my ?mall area? coupons until they almost expire to make as few trips as possible.  Do you look carefully at your junk mail?  You should!  Some of these coupons were right in my mailbox and to the untrained eye, might look like ordinary junk mail.
