    Default Score! Post your successes!

    Today I got free Kraft Suddenly Salad(s)!

    On sale for 89 cents at one of our local grocery stores, coupon for 50 cents off (doubled)!

    Free pasta salad tastes way better than pasta salad I paid for!

    Anybody else have similar successes this week?

    I agree, things are always better when they are free.

    Between sales w/coupons, register rewards, ECB and rebates this week I got:

    3 Schick Hydro razors (made $1.23 profit each after taxes on each one)
    3 Schick Hydro Shaving Cream
    3 EOS Shaving cream
    4 U by Kotex (made $2.00 profit each after taxes)
    4 Right Guard Total Defense
    4 Crest Pro-Health toothpaste (made $0.40 profit each after taxes)
    1 Fisher snack mix
    1 Bayer Asprin

    After everything I spent out of pocket $3.42 but have $8 in Register Rewards & $4.99 in ECB to start next week's deals with.

    2 Schick Hydro Razors Free
    2 Fischer Fusions Free
    1 Gal milk for $1.65 (after $2 overage from one razor deal)
    4 John Frieda shamp/conditioners for .99 ea.
    2 McCormick Grinders for .50 ea.
    2 Welch's 100% Grape Juice for .75 ea.

    I was going to do the Pompeiian olive oil deal (BOGO 6.50 @ Publix)...but, they were out. The Publix store I now go to since we moved is great though, they attach the store coupons to product all the time. So I got a better olive oil (Carpenelli I think?) for $7.50 BOGO, still a good deal in my book

    I really needed to get an engine guard for my Harley. A new one costs $209.95 plus tax and possibly shipping. SO I searched and searched and bought a used one with a small scuff on the bottom (you can't see it) for $100 (shipping included)!

    The guy and I were emailing back and forth and I told him about dropping my bike TWICE and doing some damage to it the second time. He felt sorry for me and send me his 2 month old Desert Dawgs rain guards FOR FREE!

    Both items were only two months old and he sold them because he traded up to a bigger Harley. I only spent $100 and if I had bought these items brand new, I would have spent over $350!

    Today I had a coupon for $3.00 off laundry detergent. It was 2.99 and they gave me the 1¢ difference too. Love better than free!

    I picked up 4 Right Guard Deo's on BOGO for $2.79 and used (2) BOGO MF Q's that were in last Sunday's inserts. So I got all 4 for free! I also picked up (2) Glad cling wrap on sale for 2/$2. I used (2) .75/1 Publix Q's to get each 100 ft. roll for .25

    Tomorrow, Honey Nut Cheerios goes on BOGO for $4.49 this week at Publix. I've got (2) $1.50/1 Q's and (2) "Free Pillsbury Ready Bake cookies wyb (1) Honey Nut Cheerios" Q's. So 2 of the big boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios and 2 packages of refrigerated cookies all for $1.49

    Oh and 12 oz packages of all natural Sorrento fresh Mozzarella cheese are on sale for $3.99 right now. I'll use (1) $1/1 MF Q and (1) $1/1 Publix Q to get it for only $1.99
