Coupons, coupons, coupons! How I LOVE coupons!
I was going to write about the 3 more (!) boxes of Electrasol dishwasher powerball tablets that I got at Albertson's for approximately 83 cents per box, but then at Safeway today I came upon an even better deal. Safeway had Nature Valley Granola Bars (all varieties, even the trail mix and nut crunch varieties, which we love) on for 2 for $5.00, and I had 6 manufacturers' coupons for 50 cents off. So, I bought 6 boxes. Right there, I had already saved 50%. Then, because I had bought 5 or more participating items, I got an instant $5 off at checkout. Getting better! Then after I get home, I found that the Catalina machine had spit out a coupon good for $3.50 off my next shopping trip, courtesy of General Mills (who make Nature Valley Granola Bars). Even though I can't use the $3.50 until next time, it essentially made it so my 6 boxes of granola bars will cost about 58 cents each, or a savings of 85%. I love it when coupons and promotions work together!
