    I made all my trips to Lowes...saved 67%.
    However, of all things, there was only 1 thing I could not find...the BOCA products! I had a coupon, and I asked 4 workers to help me find it. After waiting for help, wasting my very precious time, I gave up. Can someone tell me where Lowes stocks this product?
    Thanks!

    At the Lowes foods in Clayton, the Boca products are in the freezer section in the corner by the frozen breakfast stuff. If you were standing in line, then turned around facing the back of the store it would be the far left corner.

    Yep, they are right next to the Eggos/Toaster Struedel section and there were plenty of every kind. Even after I bought TONS of them!


    Great job on your savings n8zjb! :D

    My savings are usually in the 35% range. I'm looking forward to the class for 4042'ers too.

    I know, I know, Faye, but I'm the *hands-on* kind of learner. I have to see and hear. The book is a reinforcement of that. I think I'm doing perty good considering I did it backwards this time...book first, then class :).

    Faye,
    Thanks so much for your time with the CJWC yesterday. We all learned a lot. I am sure we will all implement atleast some of your techniques at the grocery store.
    Thanks again!

    I look forward to seeing you at the workshop, Kaci and Frogger!

    Here is a BOGO (buy one get one free) coupon for Baskin Robbins ice cream cones:

    http://www.baskinrobbins.com/IceCream/coupon/EmailCoupon.aspx

    Apparently they are good at the free standing stores (like the one in Clayton) and not ones at gas stations.

    Of course, we have 2 tubs of Breyers ice cream that were free (Lowe's triples, of course), so we won't be heading to baskin robbins any time soon! :lol:

    I have some extra coupons that I am not going to use before they expire on 1/31/06. I have multiples for all of them so there is enough for more than one person. If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I will get them to you.

    Buy 3 Stove Top Stuffings, get one free

    Save 65 cents on any Tyson Frozen Boxed item

    Save $1.00 on any 4 Stouffers or Lean Cuisine Entrees or Pizzas

    Save 65 cents on any Pillsbury Frozen Oven Baked Product

    Save $1.00 on any 2 Sargento Shredded Cheese 5 oz. or larger (I think these are BOGO at HT this week)

    Free box of Pop Secret Microwave popcorn when you buy any two 4.5 oz or larger Bugles or Chex Mix Snack Mixes (there was a chex mix coupon in the paper last week or the week before - you can use both at the same time)

    Interested, if you still have them. I missed the paper Sunday.

    My shopping trip Sunday, with leftover coupons about to expire, saved me $101 :shock: ! I was a little bit giddy walking out with 2 shopping carts and truly enough groceries for the majority of the month. Gotta love HT's BOGO meat sales.

    Next purchase: a new vacuum. After that, a chest freezer!

    Also, anyone going shopping this weekend? I'm not, but have some good coupons the expire end of Jan. Let me know!
