My Smith's Trip With Ecoupons

Total out of pocket: $7.64!!!

Milk was on sale for 3 for $5

Kroger water $.69 (I was thirsty)

all GM cereals are buy 4, save $6 instantly (-$1.50 per box):

• Trix $3.79 -$.55 shortcuts.com coupon, -$.55 manuf coupon
• Cocoa Puffs $3.69 - $.75 cellfire coupon, -$1.00 manuf coupon
• Cocoa Puffs $3.69 -$.75 shortcuts coupon, -$1.00 manuf coupon
• Cheerios $3.99 - $.55 cellfire coupon, -$.75 manuf coupon

I didn't need anymore cereal but I thought I'd give the ecoupon thing a try while it was all on sale. You can load ecoupons on your Smiths card from either cellfire.com, shortcuts.com , p&g.com or unilever. Just enter your phone number or Fresh Values card number and then select the coupons that you would like on your card. By the time you get to the store your coupon should be loaded on your card. When you check out, the ecoupon will be deducted from your total and show as cfire or scuts next to the item name.

The benefit? As you can see above, you can use the ecoupon with a manufacturer coupon for twice the savings!!

The downside? You can only load one coupon per item. But since there are 2 different sites you can load one coupon per site (like I did with the Cocoa Puffs). Then when you come home, load it on there again!

Don't have a Smiths? There are other stores that participate too (Fred Meyer). Once you get the coupons loaded onto your card then you can print a shopping list so you know what coupons you have loaded. There is a 50 coupon limit per site, but there are 3 sites so you can load up to 150 coupons on your card! There is an expiration date for these coupons too, but it will let you know when you print your list or visit the site when this is.

Give this a try and let me know how you like it or how it works for you!!!
