Short Little Mama's: Dillons Deals 5/27/2011

I had the opportunity to use a number of expired coupons today; it's always nice to know that you've saved some from going to waste : ) Remember that most Dillons stores will accept expired coupons up to two weeks after the expiration date.

Right now is a great time to stock up on "summer food" staples. Earlier today I purchased hot dogs for $.28 a package, and later I made it into Salina for some major savings on chips, soda, and barbecue sauce- summer must haves.

Also remember that when my coupon math states "doubles," it means that the amount doubles to a maximum of $1.

Here is my purchase list, including coupon match-ups when available : )

(18) Lays Kettle Chips @ $1.99: used $2/2 from 5/1 special insert (expired 5/21) = $.99 each

(8) Sierra Mist Natural 2-Liters @ $1.25 (*I got 2 free as part of current sale-buy 4 get 2 free, though I should have grabbed 4 more; they would have been free too! However, since 2 did ring up free, and I had coupons that also made them free, I did save an extra $2.50 at least : ): used BKettleChips/GO Sierra Mist X 8= 8 FREE + $2.50 Overage

(4) Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce @ $1: used $1/1 from 5/22 SS= 4 FREE

(2) Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade @ $1.25: used $.75/1 Printable (doubles) X 2 = $.25 each

(2) Johnsonville Italian Sausages @ $3.99: used $.55/1 (doubles) from 5/1 SS (or $1/1 Printable) X 2= $2.99 each

(2) Johnsonville Smoked Beef Hot Links @ $3.99: used $.55/1 (doubles) from 5/1 SS (or $1/1 Printable) from X 2= $2.99 each

Total Spent: $59.57
Tax: $7.35
Total Savings: $94.77

**Here are a couple of other deals that I grabbed quickly in the past 2 weeks and didn't have time to post. If your Dillons still has Kandoos on sales this week, the coupons are still good for quite some time. Should they not be on sale still, just hang on to your coupons and wait for the next sale : ) The Zone Perfect coupons however are past even the allowed expiration date, but sales and coupons like this come along very frequently with health bars!**

7 Zone Perfect Bars @ $1: used 8 $.55/1 (doubled)= 8 Free
