These are my favorite sale since there is no paper coupon clipping! Happy shopping! 3 Days of Digital Deals, June 28-30 ONLY: Each special digital offer can be used up to 5 times in each transaction. Less than a nickel per dog.Here's the new weekly deals at Smith's valid through July 2nd! There's BIG save even more with digital coupons event. With the $1 off 2 coupon, that’s 38 cents a package, for two. As I write this, Walmart has Bar-S hot dogs on sale for. Update: And now, for the real kick in the pants. That’s my plan for the Fourth of July.įor now, coupons are in the doghouse. Total face value of the hot dog coupons was $6.04, to save 47 cents.Īnd I did not even venture to buying a bulk box of the store brand. Saving $1.81, and getting 4 more, and bigger hot dogs.Īnd even without the dogs being on sale, I would have paid $14.28 ($1.19 x 12), So even disregarding the size of the hot dogs, and the extra 4, I saved a whopping 47 cents, by clipping coupons, combining deals, and shopping two stores, and two brands. When by just buying the sale item without coupons, I would have paid $12 for 12 packages of 8. I actually paid $13.81 for hot dogs (92 of them) So much for the $6.04 I saved on 92 hot dogs using the coupons. So, by subtracting out the mustard and barbecue sauce, by using high valued coupons, and even combining coupons on one deal, I actually paid MORE than I would have by buying the hot dogs on sale without a coupon. It’s still a nice store ,and occasionally has some good loss leaders, but I have a preference.) (I hardly ever shop at Shaws’ because for the things I usually buy they are a bit more expensive.
Oscar Mayer at Target = 40 dogs using the buy 3 get 1 free = 40 dogs for 9.12, or 22.8 cents each.Īdd in the buy 2 get $1 off = 40 dogs for 8.12, or 20.3 cents eachĪnd at Shaw’s, without any coupons – the sale price on Bar-S this week was $1.00 per package of 8, or 12.5 cents each. Oscar Mayer Franks – 10 for $3.04 or 30.4 cents eachīar S- Franks – 8 for $1.19 or 14.8 cents each for a larger frank (half price) The coupons would have been good at Shaw’s also.Īnd without comparing nuances such as ingredients (they’re hot dogs for gosh sakes, we know what they are made of) I did a unit price check. 19 per package for all of the Bar-S franks. So, actually, since I did not check the Shaw’s circular, I wasted. They also did not have it, but I checked the price at their hot dog section, and the Bar-S franks were on sale for $1.00. I went to Shaw’s, since I had another coupon for a free package of a new type of Oscar Mayer hot dog product that the others did not stock. I had a buy one get one free coupon for Gulden’s Spicey Brown Mustard, saving $1.50 on the $3.00 value, and I used a free coupon for Bullseye Barbecue Sauce.Īltogether, at Market Basket I saved $6.50 on a bill of $15.74, or 41% off. 05 cheaper to start, but I had no buy 3 get 1 free coupon, so it was the right move to buy them at Target.Īt Market Basket, I grabbed 4 packages of Bar-S Jumbo Franks, at $1.19 each (8 to a pack) and used 2 buy 2 get $1 off coupons, saving $2 off a $4.76 total, which was cool. Total savings at Target – not my first choice of grocery store, but “paper” savings were $9.09, on a $12.16 total bill. Okay, the game is to make me a repeat customer, so in theory I get another $5 back. At the register, the cashier handed me a coupon that had spit out, for $5 off a future purchase of frozen food.
Funny, my receipt said I saved $5.09 not $4.09, but anyway.
I bought 3 packages of Oscar Mayer Franks and got one free at Target with their internet coupon, and used a $1 off 2 packages for two of the three, making it $8.07 for what would have been $12.16. I searched further and even got a coupon at Target – supporting their recent foray in to the grocery business.Īrmed with coupons and store circulars, I ended up with the following:Ħ packages of Oscar Meyer Beef Franks (10 ea per LB)Ĥ Packages of Bar – S Jumbo “Meat”: Franks (8 ea per LB)Ģ Bottles of Gulden’s Spicey Brown Mustard (Buy one Get one Free)ġ Bottle Of Bullseye Carolina Barbecue Sauce (Free)Īnd paid a grand total of $17.31, and thought I did pretty well for my first real experiment with coupons. I found several for two brand names I recognized, Oscar Mayer and Bar-S, both brands that my local stores carried. With the Memorial Day weekend coming up, and my new profoundly skeptical yet compelling interest in coupons, I went to several coupon sites to collect coupons for hot dogs.
