--to my husband after scoring 60 PACKS OF FREE TUNA at meijer last night!! We also got 4 Aunt Millie's Early American bread for $1.50 aq, which may not be great but he was determined to buy bread so it was better than paying full price!! and lunchmeat, and produce for a stir-fry, and loaf pans for packing up his dinners, and balloons.
spent $26.25 and saved $68.27 -- 72%
56.51 was coupon savings, and it would have been $64 if the tuna hadn't been on sale!
these single-serve tuna pouches don't expire til the end of 2011 or 2012 (i forget, now..) and are a great source of lean protein! the coupons are .55/1 bumblebee 2.5 or 4 oz pouch, expire 12/31 and you may still be able to find them on e-bay.
i remember when we started couponing (two and a half years ago??), wondering "when are we going to get great deals on "real" food?" this is it!! :D Triscuits (100% whole grain!) are due to go on sale soon, too, so try to snag some of those $1/1 nabisco q's, and the kraft singles q's. but only get enough cheese to make it to easter, because kroger has a $1 cheese sale right around late winter/early spring.
