Coupons I'm Ordering This Week



I've shared often that my favorite way to get more coupons is using a coupon clipping service.  The Q Hunter is the one I use the most.  It's been awhile since I've posted which coupons I'm ordering to add to my stockpile.

This week I'll be stocking up on cereal and chili beans.  Cereal is something that I normally have at least 8 boxes or more at time.  Not so lately though ... The empty space on my stockpile shelves where I usually keep cereal is being taken over by other things.  It's a good week to build that supply back up.

Colder weather means more chili on my menu plans so I'm happy to add Brooks Chili Beans to my stockpile for just $.22 a can.

Here's what I've ordered from The Q Hunter this week:

(10) $1/2 General Mills CHEERIOS Cereals including Original, Honey Nut, Berry Burst, Fruity, Frosted, MultiGrain, Apple Cinnamon, Banana Nut, Yogurt Burst, Chocolate or Oat Cluster Crunch Cheerios cereals ~~~ To use with this week's sale at Kroger

(8) $.55/2 Brooks Chili Beans ~~~ To use with this week's sale at Jungle Jim's

I spent $1.84 and will use them to save $14.40!

Coupons I Ordered from The Q Hunter



I just finished cutting, sorting and filing my coupons from the last two weeks.  Yes I was behind but now I'm all caught up!!  I also just ordered my coupons for this week's sales from The Q Hunter and wanted to share what I ordered.

  1. My Favorite one this week! I ordered 12 -  Buy 2 Jars of Classico Pasta Sauce, Save $1.50 on Fresh Beef.  This matches up great with my plan to buy several chuck roasts that are BOGO at Kroger this week.  And guess what?  The classico pasta sauce is included in the Kroger's Mega Sale this week.  I love Classico's sauces but they're usually more than I'm willing to pay.  This coupon means that I get to stock up!!  I'm using the Chuck Roasts to make Hungarian Goulash for dinner one night this week and to put several dinners worth in the freezer.
  2. I ordered 10 Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter coupons for $.40/1.  I'll use them to stock up at Meijer where Land O Lakes is one sale for $1.00.  I'll pay just $.20 each.  That's with multiple transactions so that all my coupons double.
  3. I ordered 5 Hidden Valley Farmhouse Originals $2.00/1 coupons.  This is a gamble. The flavors sound good.  Fresh salads from the garden are not too far in my future AND since I think this is a new product I bet there will be a sale soon.
  4. Lastly I order 2 Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage $1/2 coupons.  They are BOGO at Kroger this week making them $1.60 each after the sale and coupons.  We use this for several easy dinners so it's a good item to have in my freezer.
All together I spent $3.04 (that's after my 20% savings with code 
20off First.)  These coupons will allow me to save $38.00!!

Coupons to Order!

With this week's Mega Sale at Kroger .... think Stockpile!  I have ordered just 2 coupons so far but I'm sure there will be other's worth ordering that I'll come across soon.  Kroger's Mega Sale runs for 2 weeks so I'm not in a huge hurry to order coupons.  I like to see what deals come up if any unadvertised deals become known.
I knew that this was going to be the sale to stock up on shredded cheese.  With homemade pizza being on our Menu Plan often and so many recipes with shredded cheddar we go through a lot of cheese.  I ordered 20 $1.00 off 2  KRAFT or CRACKER BARREL Cheese Coupons for only $2.75 after shipping.  I ordered them on Ebay because The Q Hunter and Trader World Online were out already, but I heard from The Q Hunter that she will be getting more in the next day or so.  We'll have to wait and see if the $5.00 Catalina is available all week to see if I actually use all 20 coupons ..... that will be 40 bags of cheese!

I also ordered 10 $1/2 Keebler Crackers Coupons for $1.99 after shipping.  My hubby almost without fail has peanut butter and crackers as a snack each night (and sometimes in the afternoon too!)  Zesta Saltine's are $1.69 this week at Kroger, which is a pretty good price by itself.  After the Mega Sale discount the price will drop to $1.19 per box but after the $1.00/2 coupons I'll pay only $.69 a box.  I'm adding to my stockpile!
There is another great coupon match-up that I already have lots of coupons for so I won't be ordering any more but I wanted you to know about it.  Electrasol/Finish Dishwasher Detergent is included in the Mega Sale priced at $3.49.  That's $2.99 with the Mega Sale Discount.  Use $2.50 Finish Coupons to make them only $.49 a box .... that's an incredible stock-up price.  I got 10 boxes for $.79 several weeks ago at Meijer but they were out when I went back the second time to get 10 more so I got a rain check.  I guess I won't be using my last 10 coupons with the Meijer rain check though.  Thanks Kroger!! The Q Hunter and Trader World Online are out but there are lots of Finish coupons on Ebay.

Leave me a comment telling me if there are other coupons you're ordering to stock up.

Coupons I Ordered

I posted the links to Mommy Snacks lists of Kroger and Meijer Deals.  It's a great stock-up week! Let me say that again...It's a GREAT stock-up week!!  I ordered coupons using my Favorite Way to Get Coupons and a new way to that I think is going to be another favorite!  There are lots of printables that make for some FREE (and almost free )things too!  Check out the links on the Kroger & Meijer lists to get the internet printables.

I've told you about My Favorite Way to Get Coupons and I hope this new way becomes my other favorite way.  My aunt told me about a site called The Q Hunter.  It is a coupon clipping service and I ordered 3 sets of coupons from there this week.  First, I like that I can choose the quantity of each coupon I order.  I also like that my coupons will all come together in one envelope.....so only one to watch for.  They also have shipping priced on a tier with the highest shipping amount being $1 and FREE shipping on orders over $5.00.  I'll post later in the week when my coupons get here hopefully to add this site as a new favorite way to get coupons.

Here are the coupons I ordered:

Ronzoni Pasta is part of Meijer's 10 for $10 Get the 11th Free or $1 per box.  There is a manufacturer's coupon out for $.75 off one box.  I ordered 9 (that was all they had left) coupons from The Q Hunter.  They were $.10 each.  I'll need to use these in multiple transactions since Meijer only doubles 2 identical coupons per transaction.

  $1.00 per box
+$.10 per coupon
- $.75 (doubled to $1.00)
= $.10 per box x 9 boxes = $.90 for 9 boxes of pasta.  $8.10 in savings on the sale price!! 

There was a Johnson and Johnson coupon out recently for $1.00 off any baby product.  J&J has a product called Buddies Soap that my boys really like....it's a bar of soap with a mesh covering so it doesn't slip out of their hands.   Meijer usually has them priced right at or very near $1.00.  I ordered 10 at $.15 each.

$1.00 per bar
+$.15 per coupon
-$1.00
= $.15 per bar x 10 bars = $1.50 for 9 bars of soap.  $8.50 in savings!! 



Last week Meijer had Cottonelle Toilet Paper 6 double roll pkgs for 1/2 off.  I missed this in the ad or I would have ordered coupons last week but it was still a good price and we were out of toilet paper.  I guess I got lucky in a sense....the Cottonelle was out of stock.  I asked for a raincheck at customer service.  Ordering coupons now didn't occur to me until last night.  Now I'll be able to save even more with the raincheck and coupons.  I ordered 12 coupons for $.50 off Cottonelle for $.05 each.  I realize this isn't a deal that you can take advantage of now but I wanted to use the example to point out...Always get a raincheck if something that is on sale is out of stock. 

$2.79 per 6 Double Roll Package
+$.05 per coupon
-$.50 coupon (the first 2 will double but the other won't. Raincheck says I can buy up to 12 pkgs. I think I'll have to buy all 12 in one transaction so the other 10 will rung up at face value)
= $2.25 per 6 Double Roll Pkg x 12 pkgs = $27.08 = $39.88 in savings!! (remember that the sale price was 1/2 off the original price)


Kroger is running a similar sale with lots of items priced at 10 for $10....of course $1.00 each.  Gatorade is one of those items.  Yesterday's paper had a $.50 off Gatorade coupon.  The Q Hunter was out of this coupon so I ordered it on ebay instead.  I ordered 20 coupons for $6.99.

$1.00 per bottle
+$.35 per coupon
-$.50 coupon (all will double to $1.00 since Kroger has no limit on the number of identical coupons that will double)
= $.35 per bottle x 20 = $7.00 = $13.00 in savings!!

Grocery Deals & Coupons I Ordered

I posted the links to Mommy Snacks lists of Kroger and Meijer Deals.  I thought a few were extra noteworthy and wanted to post them here too.  I also wanted to show you examples of how I use My Favorite Way to Get Coupons.

The deal I'm most excited about is on Finish Dishwasher Gel Pack and Tablets.  The 20 ct boxes are priced at $3.29.  Today's paper had a coupon for $2.50 off one box.  I ordered 20 coupons on Ebay for $8.35...that includes shipping.  I stocked up just like this about a year ago and I am just now down to 3 boxes.

  $3.29 per box
+$.41 per coupon
-$2.50 per box
= $1.20 per box x 20 boxes = $24 for over a year's worth of dishwasher detergent $41.80 in savings!! 


My kids really like V-8 Fusion Fruit Drink. And my 3 boys will go through it pretty fast if I let them. It's priced at $2.49 for a 46 oz bottle.  Today's paper had a coupon for $.75 off one bottle.  I ordered 20 $.55 on one bottle coupons ( I didn't find the $.75 coupons on ebay but since both amounts double to $1.00 it didn't matter) on Ebay for $2.78...that includes shipping.

$2.49 per bottle
+$.14 per coupon
-$.75 or $.55 per bottle doubled to $1.00
-$1.00/2 bottles Meijer Mealbox Coupon
= $1.13 per bottle x 20 bottles = $22.60 = $27.20 in savings!! 
(Not familiar with Meijer Mealbox Coupons?)


I've been making lots of meals with canned diced tomatoes.  Hopefully my the tomatoes in my garden will do better next year and I'll have more in the freezer but since I don't have them now.... Cans of Red Gold Tomaotes are priced at $.79 each.  I ordered 15 coupons for $1.00 off 3 cans on Ebay for $1.64...that includes shipping.

$0.79 per can
+$.11 per coupon
-$1.00 per 3 cans
= $0.57 per can x 45 cans = $25.65 = $9.90 in savings!!


I bet you're thinking..."Will she really by 20 boxes of Dishwasher Detergent?"  Yes I will buy these to stock up at this price.

"Will she really buy 20 bottles of V-8 Fusion and 45 cans of tomatoes?"  Maybe or maybe not....I will stock up ... but I will look at the Use By Dates to see how long these can be in my Stockpile.  I'll also consider what I'm spending on the other things on my grocery list to see what I have to spend towards these Stockpile items.

I wanted to show you examples of how getting coupons on Ebay really can help add to your Stockpile! Go Here to see how I stockpile to save on groceries and other household items.
