Organic Produce, Dairy, Gluten Free Bread and More at Price Chopper





I'm not giving the breakdown of my trip because the sales change in a few hours.  I did this in 5 transactions though.  I RARELY do that.  Typically two is my max.  But it was like after 8PM on a Saturday night so the store was very empty.  I knew I could get away with it.  I was really just trying to get the biggest bang for my double coupons. 

But a few highlights...

* Land-o-lakes Cinnamon Butter Spread.  Reg. $2.59, sale $2.
But on the very door of the case were two pads of coupons for $0.75/1.  Doubled, they were just $0.50 each!  I would never normally buy this kind of thing.  I am a butter and only butter kind of girl.  And use it mostly for baking.  But figured this would be yummy on breads and muffins as a treat.  Remember that butter freezes well.

* Olivia's Organic greens.  Reg. $3.99.
But there was a pad of coupons sitting just to the left for $1/1.  I used the PC $1 doubler coupon and it was just $1.99!  Not bad for a big box of organic greens!

* Lays Chips.  Reg. $3.49, sale $3.
But there were several pads of coupons right there for $1/2.  Using the PC $1 doubler coupon, they were just $2/each!  I know that's not the best price but it's still pretty good.

* Bailey's Creamer.  Reg. $2.69.
I had a $1/1 coupon and used the PC $1 doubler.  So they were just $0.69/each!  Now that is actually a fantastic price if I do say so myself!

But the lesson I want to point out is highlighted by the greens, cinnamon butter and chips.  Keep your eyes open for coupons floating around the store!  I saved $6 tonight from those coupons (plus the doubler) alone!  And that included organic produce.  Something non-couponers claim to never offer coupons. 

Before I started couponing in January, I rarely noticed pads of coupons.  Now I am like a hawk and can spot them a mile away.  Those are gold mines, my thrifty friends!
