Cat Food

Gotta write this quick before Baby wakes up...

Went to the pet store again today, and hauled home
2 big bags of dry food
1 small bag of dry food
30 cans of Fancy Feast
1 bag of dental treats for cats
3 bags of T-bone doggie treats
Retail price $96, I paid $72.
I got a free can of Friskies with that coupon I used the other day, but I donated that can to the pet food bank.

The people at this store are hit and miss with coupons. I think they all like me, but some of them struggle with my efforts. They have to ring everything up, scan a coupon, then re-scan the item. Which is a lot of work. And sometimes the coupon doesn't even go through. The cashier who was ringing me up today got flustered about why my Fancy Feast coupon wasn't working, but luckily  the manager was there. And when I told her she had to key in the barcode on the store coupons I printed from online, she got even more stressed. So its true, us younger cashiers are the ones you couponers should go to. Also, the receipts from this store are hard to read.

Btw, me and the hubs have been living mostly off my stockpile since I went on leave and this season has been slow for him. I told ya'll I would be doing that!

Still Using...

...coupons, that is! Today I went to Petco to use my $5 Rewards coupon, and a free Friskies coupon I found on Freestuff.com, or whatever Thunderfap.com is now.
I bought:
one 5.7 oz can of Friskies (a new variety) 57 cents, free with coupon
one "I Love Kitties" planner, marked $7.99 on clearance
4 snowmen rawhide pieces, on clearance for $2.84/lb
4 mini rawhide bones, also on clearance for $2.84/lb
My total was $8 and some change; turns out my planner was $3.98. I love register surprises like that.
Final price: $2.04. Go me!

Also, I have been watching youtube.com videos about extreme couponing. But only while I'm clipping my coupons.
