Cub $10/$100 plan update

Cub is having a 3 Day sale on their 3lb bags of frozen chicken breast. They are $4.99.

Being I still have $8 something to make it to my $100 I am planning on grabbing 2 of these for the chicken instead of finding small packs of chicken for around $2. That means I will be able to use the 3 $2 off chicken coupons from buying the Kraft dressing on them.

It will add in 9lbs of chicken breast and bring my pre-coupon total to $100.77. My post coupon, post $10/$100 total should come out to be $17.81 if everything works the way it should.

I am a little nervous about using so many kraft coupons at a time, and about using more then one of the MF in ad coupons also. We'll have to see how it goes. I'll try to post what I end up with. Hopefully they aren't out of things like the OJ and stuff like that. Also hoping I can bring the $1/1 Keebler cracker IP. I haven't tried yet, but Jason wasn't able to print it from work so we'll have to see.

My Cub shopping list for the week

Last week Cub and Holiday ran a dual promotion that if you bought 12 gallons of gas you received a coupon for $10/$100 at Cub. The coupon is good through Saturday. I've been thinking about what to get and how to make it to the $100 mark without actually spending much OOP.

I thought that it might be helpful if I posted my plan. That way if any of you have are looking for ideas you can see what I am planning on doing and what the actual OOP will be.

The $100 is pre-coupon if you give the $10/$100 coupon first. This is helpful to know being there are some BOGO coupons in the new Cub book.

Right now, my goal is to spend less then $20 OOP. I would really like to keep it to about $10, but that seems a little unrealistic even for me. To make it easy to keep track of I am going to put the pre-coupon total in RED and the post coupon total in GREEN

This is what I have so far:
Raincheck for Brownberry bread $1 per loaf, 4/$4 $4
Land of Lakes 1 Gallon OJ $4.99, -Cub BOGO coupon book, -2 $.50/1 MF=2/$3.99 $9.98
Sabra Hummus $3.99, -Cub BOGO coupon Book, -2 $1.50/1 MF=2/.99 $7.98
Keebler Zesta saltines $2.79??, -3/$4.98 Cub book coupon, -3 $1/1 IP=3/$1.98 $8.37
Soup $1.00, -Free soup WYB 2 Keebler Zesta crackers Tearpad MF=1/Free $1.00
Daisy Sour Cream 6oz, $1.39, -$.68 in ad Cub coupon, -$.50/1=1/$.18 $1.39
Carlita refried beans $.66=6/$3.96 $3.96
Carlita seasoning mix, Taco, Enchilada or Fajita $.33=3/$.99 $.99
Pre-coupon tota: $37.67
Post Coupon total: $16.09
The following probably won't be much of a help to you unless you still have left over B3G1 Kraft coupons from this summer. They expired on 8-31-09 so I know that I threw a few of them away. I still have some so it will help me bump up my total by quite a bit.

Wheat Thins, Family size $4.29?, -4 B3G1 Free Kraft coupons=4/Free $17.16
Kraft Shredded Cheese 5-8oz, -Free WYB 3 Nabisco crackers, in ad MF=1/Free $2.22
Kraft 16oz dressing $2, 9 B3G1 Free Kraft coupons, receive $3 OYNO WYB 5=9/$3 overage $18
Chicken $2, 3 Free Chicken up to $2 WYB 3 Kraft Dressing in ad MF=3/Free $6
Produce $1, -4 $1 free produce WYB 2 Kraft Dressing, Tearpad MF=4/Free $4
Kool-Aide $.25, -2 2 Free WYB 10=27/$5.75 $6.75
Pre-Coupon total: $91.80
Post coupon total: $18.84

I have $8.20 left to make it to $100. Even if you don't find anything else with coupons that would bring my totals to $100 pre-coupons and $27.04 post coupons. Take the $10 off of that and my final total should be no more then $17.04.

I think I might just add in some of the apples or pears that are on sale if I don't find anything else. Hopefully some of you will be able to get some ideas on who to maximize your $10/$100 coupons.

Working on the Blog this week

Noah is in Rockford for a few days and then has one day with my mom so I am planning on doing some much needed blogging.

Looking over the ads yesterday I didn't see very many superb deals for the week. I'll make a short list of them and then add throughout the week if I find any more later.

Walmart
73% Lean Hamburger 5lb roll=$6.50
Hass Avocados $.68
Pepsi 2lt $1.00
Ruffles Chips $2
Farm Rich Appetizers 20-38oz $5, -$1/1 IP =1/$4


Aldi-Remeber you can pricematch at Walmart
Navel oranges 4lb bag $1.69
Mangos $.69 each
3 pk muli colored peppers $1.49

Rainbow
Round'y shedded or chuck cheese 8oz, $1-Limit 4

Roundy's cottage cheese 16oz $1.69
Philadelphia cream cheese $.99, -$1/2 IP(check IP posts), =2/.98 Limit 4

Target
Target IP coupons have new wording on them that states, "One per Transaction." Translation, no more buying 30 of something at a time with TC. This is fairly new wording and most people report that their targets don't care if you do your order in 1 transacation or 30. I would ask at CS for each different Target you go to just to make sure. Remember, it's important to follow the rules for each coupon. First, it's ethical. Second, it helps ensure the retailers and manufacters are willing to continue to offer us great deals.

Ocean Spay light, diet $1.99, -$1/1 TC, -$1/1MF=1/Free
Digiorno 12" Pizza $3.99, -$1/1 or $1/2 tearpads, =1/$2.99 or 1/3.49 Also reported that you get a free 2lt WYB 1 Digiorno Pizza.
