Coupons #7 and #8 Safeway & McD's

Coupon# 7 - Save $5 off $50 at Safeway.  Bonus:  for spending over $35, you get a 5-cent/litre discount at their gas station.  Last year's discount was only 3 cents/litre....all I can say is every little bit helps!

Coupon# 8 - Seems like Big Mac prices have climbed too!  The "free" Big Mac I got with the BOGO coupon rang in at $4.19.  That's 30 cents more than when I last used this coupon (see coupon #1).

Savings:  9.19
Cumulative: $37.83

Drum roll, please....Ta-da!  I have now officially "saved" just a bit more than what it cost me to purchase the two Entertainment books...and we're not even at the end of the first quarter of the year.  However, I'd say it was mostly due to buying groceries at Safeway and using the bonus Domino's coupons...and not so much the actual Entertainment book offerings; at least, not yet.

Stay tuned for more savings!

p.s.  Entertainment books are on sale right now, I believe.  Something like $17 per book for a limited time.

Coupons 4, 5 & 6

Ok, it's been a bit hectic. Time to catch up:

Coupons 4 & 5:  Used a second $5. off Domino's pizza for a large Brooklyn pepperoni pizza (my fave!) plus the coupon for free cinnastix - dessert!  No delivery charge because we picked it up at the store. Even the person serving us said "wow, what a deal!"

Recap:  10.99 Large Brooklyn Pizza + 4.75 Eight Cinnastix
Saved $5.00 plus 4.75 = total $9.75 savings
We paid 5.99 plus taxes ... cheap meal for two!

Coupon 6:  5.00 off $50 at Safeway.
Used it on Customer Appreciation Day, where I saved 10% before getting the $5 off.


So, total Entertainment book savings for coupons 4, 5 and 6:  14.75.
Cumulative savings: $28.64
