Super One Highlights

Grocery stores usually run good sales around holidays, and Memorial Day is no exception. I spent a little more on meat than normal, but I wanted to try the Lloyd's baby back ribs. They were on sale for $9.99 and I had a $1 coupon. The regular price was $17.59--I would NEVER pay that much! But for $8.99, it was cheaper than getting them at a restaurant. They tasted good and were easy to prepare. The pork loins were buy 1, get 1 free. One was $9.99, and I used 2-$1 coupons, so 2 for $7.99, or $4 each. They are 1.7 pounds, so it works out to about $2.35 per pound.

I printed some good coupons at coupons.com recently and used some of them yesterday. I got:
Shredded and block cheese: 5/$10-$1/2 coupon=$1.50 each
American cheese: $2.29-$1 coupon=$1.29
Ritz crackers: $2.50-$1 coupon=$1.50
Wheat Thins: $2.00-$1 coupon=$1.00
Wheat Thins: Free w/purchase of Ritz crackers
Triscuits: $2.00-$1 coupon=$1.00

And a few more deals:
Post Trail Mix Crunch:$2.88-$2 coupon=$0.88 each
Hunt's ketchup: Free w/coupon that came in booklet from Con Agra foods in the mail
Kraft BBQ sauce: $0.99-$0.75 coupon=$0.24 each
Ken's dressing: FREE with coupon
Ortega taco seasoning: $0.75 each -$1/2 coupon=$0.25 each
Candy bars: $0.44 each-2 buy 1 get 1 free coupons=$0.22 each

Saved 40%, or $101.91 overall.

At Pamida, I bought Luvs diapers on sale for $16.99 (usually $19.00), used 1-$1 coupon, and they had a deal for free wipes (regular price $5.69) when you buy diapers, so I got 2 of those since I bought 2 boxes of diapers. Overall savings: 33%, or $16.40.
