Online Adventures, Week 1

Good afternoon, Coupon Comrades!

This week's grocery order came in at $79.30, down from $195.00.  Now, I'm no Sandra, but I'll take a 59% savings any day.

I've done all my non-taxable grocery shopping online at Safeway.com, and have had it delivered, since 2009. Because I'm a queen, that's why.  And because shopping in a store with four little kids is a torture I prefer not to share with the general public. Plus, I have my way with Safeway.com's online promotions, which I can only exploit online.

So here's this week's breakdown, complete with savings percentages:

1 Open Nature Sausage Spinach & Feta - 12 Oz: (96¢) I was paid 96¢ to take these sausages.  Can't beat that with a stick. - 119%
6 Oscar Mayer Franks Turkey Smoked Hardwood - 16 Oz: 96¢ each - Turns out, you can freeze turkey franks for up to 2 months! - 78%
4 Nabisco Ritz Crackers, assorted varieties: $1.39 each - 71%
8 large navel oranges: 33¢ each - 71%
4 Kelloggs Eggo Waffles, assorted varieties: $1.49 each - 66%
4 red tomatoes, on-the-vine: 54¢ each - 66%
8 Pacific Rose apples: 43¢ each - 64%
3 Keebler Fudge Shoppe Cookies, assorted varieties: $1.67 each - 64%
4 Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn, assorted varieties: $1.49 each - 64%
3 Planters Nuts, assorted varieties: $2.62 each - 64%
4 Barilla Pasta Sauces, assorted varieties: $1.76 each - 55%

2 John Mccanns Irish Oatmeal Hot Cereal Ready In 5 Minutes - 24 Oz: $6.69 each - 13%

Say cheese, savings!

Fellow Couponer:

A fellow couponer submitted a picture of her purchase at CVS to share. Retail price for these products should have been $43.86, $3 of that is tax. Actual cost after coupons and extrabucks rewards $13.34, making the savings rate 66.93%.
