I finally started to hop back on the couponing wagon this week and it felt great!  It was nice to take a short break during our move, but now the deals are calling my name!

Savings from coupons and store sales: $35.77

I spent $17.49 at Giant and Landis this week.  (You can check out my Giant run here.)  I saved $35.77.  (Saved 67%!)

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $49.99

Did you realize that Frequent Flyer miles can be used for more than just traveling?  I just figured that out!  We don’t fly all that often, so I opted to use my credits I have with United to get a FREE Red Kitchen Aid Toaster (a $49.99 value!).  It is the perfect accessory in my new kitchen!

TOTAL SAVINGS:$85.76

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $4107.85

There are a couple of coupons on Coupons.com that I missed sharing previously.  There is a new $.50/1 Yoplait kids’ yogurt coupon, which is a high value coupon for yogurt.  If your store doubles, you could get a really great deal when using this coupon with a sale.

I also noticed a $.75/1 Betty Crocker Gluten Free Dessert Mix coupon.  This is a rare coupon and another great doubling coupon!

Landis Supermarket logo

Note:  If you shop at Thriftway and Shop n Bag, they share a very similar ad with Landis.  However, most Thriftway and Shop n Bag stores do not accept internet coupons.

Note: Landis doubles coupons with a face value of up to $.99.  (So if you have a $.75 coupon, it will automatically double to a savings of $1.50 at check-out.) Please note that coupons vary by region.  Read all about my coupon lingo here.  Read more about Landis’s internet coupon policy here.
