2014 was certainly a huge year for savings! We had so many stock up deals across the aisle this year. I hope 2014 has been a year of savings, big or small for your families.
After narrowing it down, I choose Kandi at Giant as the best shopping trip of the year. I choose this shopping trip because of the diversity of the products. She saved on products like bananas, grapes, half & half, Orange Juice, Coffee, wipes, toothpicks, tomato paste, hand soap, yogurt, chips, ziploc bags, and more. Her total was $143.63, but she got $147.00 in free gas! Thank you Kandi and everyone else who sent me there shopping trips.
I wanted to share with you a few more of my favorites. I hope that you continue to to send me your shopping trips to share.
Mary shared some great deals with us in 2014. Here are just two of them. Paid $1.45 and she got $1.55
4 Alpha Bits $1.99 $1/1 ip = FREE & 2 Chock Full O’ Nuts Coffee $2.99 Free wyb2 Post Cereals (Alpha Bits) = FREE
Paul paid just $17.61 for so total for 21.89 lb ham!
21.89 pound bone in ham. Regular price 98.29, bonus buy price $43.56, plus tag was incorrect,so I got an additional $10.95 back when I took it to cust service at giant and had a $15 coupon, so total for 21.89 pound ham was……$17.61
His grand total was $14.08 for over $140 in products. I am so proud… *tear* All of this is being donated to the food bank.
This was my favorite shoprite trip from April with all the free ham steaks! It was 4 transactions. Before coupons 161.90 total savings 104.25 OOP 57.65 which included $30 in red robin gift cards. I have 2.50 in checkout 51, 1.50 in shopmium and a $10 cat!
Almost $500.00 before coupon. Paid $99.00 with $53.00 cash back. So, $46.00 after coupons and cashback.
There’s 15 bundles of toilet paper, paper towels, razor blades, caress body wash, clean and clear, axe, dove deodorant, etc.
Kerry got $80.00 in FREE groceries after coupons! WOOT!
Christina at Harris Teeter
Harris Teeter super doubles! $389.45 before qs, $14.24 out of pocket.
Lauren at Dollar General
My ALL TIME favorite was the time I price matched Dollar General at Target. Dollar General had an ad for $9 any Pampers Baby Dry diapers and Target let me price match the $9, plus Target was running a gift card deal where you get a $15 gift card for every 2 boxes. I did 18 transactions of 2. In the end each box of diapers came out to $1.50 each. 6 boxes were regularly $35 and 30 were regularly $25. I paid OOP $54 + tax with a savings of $906!!
(One box not pictured)
Back when Target had the gift card deal, took multiple transactions, but I got over $315 in real groceries for $12!

Love seeing this. I kind of got away from couponing while I am temporarily living an hour away from my life (my business, my stores I shop at, my house, my family). (There really is a rational reason for that, lol) But I intend to get back to it, and this inspires me even more. That and our stock pile is running out of things.
