More good deals

I'm going to try to not post EVERY time I get good deals, but maybe this will be my "weekly" good deal post, and I'll add to it when I get something.  :)

At any rate, here's what I did today.  With the whole point being to "stock up" for the next 2-3 months, I might try to find another couple coupons (there are some websites that will send you coupons for a small fee, and with some of these deals, it'd be worth paying $1-2 for the amount of savings!)

• 2 Cottonelle toilet paper 12-roll packages for $4.49 each--normally priced at $10.99 each (ouch!), on sale for $5.99 each, used 2 $0.75/1 coupons which were doubled, making the final price $4.49 each
• 2 20-count Finish Powerball tabs for $1.60 each--normally priced at $5.79 each, on sale BOGO (~$2.90 each), used 2 $0.65/1 coupons which were doubled, making the final price $1.60 each
• 1-lb of Land O Frost sandwich meat for $2.89--normally priced at $4.99/lb, on sale for $3.99/lb, used 1 $0.55/1 coupon which was doubled, making the final price $2.89
• We also took advantage of their weekly "Meal Deal", where they'll group together a few items that might constitute a meal, and discount the items when you buy them all together.  This week, for $6.99 we got:
• 6-pack of Johnsonville sausage
• 1 package of hotdog buns
• 1 lb bag of pretzels
• 2 L of coke

All in all, we spent $25.50 on $54.15 worth of groceries, which is a $52% savings overall.  Not quite "extreme" yet, but I'm working on it!  And today is only day one of the new prices at our grocery stores, so there may be a few more small trips, once I figure out what's going on.

(Got all the match-ups from Cheapest Mom and Southern Savers!)

So, I was double checking information on Money Saving Mom and remembered she had posted about some really cheap printer paper at Staples.  I looked it up on the Staples website, and realized that the deals ended today instead of Saturday like I thought.  So, I quickly googled the closest Staples that was open past 8pm, conned Jeremy into coming with me, and zoomed down there!  We had a little trouble finding it (it's in a fairly large shopping area with lots of side streets), but finally got inside around 8:55!  Found the paper and went about our merry way!  The paper cost $10.70 (including tax) and after we send in the rebate, it will have cost us only $0.02!  (A penny per 500 sheets)  Jeremy kept saying "Penny paper, PENNY PAPER!!!!!" on the way there to motivate me to drive faster (no worries, we didn't drive any faster than any of the other crazies out there :))
