Another Reason to Follow Promotions and Loyalty card Rewards

Last month Shaws did a Kraft promotion. For every $100 in Kraft products you qualified for a free $25 giftcard off the giftcard wall. Kraft had out coupons for a free product when you bought three other Kraft products (excluding single serve). Kool Aid packets serve eight, but cost .12-.13 each. The last week of the promotion they also had Oscar Mayer weiners buy one get one free. We qualified for four cards.

Here's the math:
16 family sized boxes of Wheat Thins
17 bottles of Kraft Dressing
10 12oz packages of Kraft Singles cheese
16 5tub packs of Crystal Light
32 packs of Oscar Mayer weiners
273 packets of Kool Aid
----------------------------------------
35.49 for Kool Aid
328.69 in FREE items
29.00 in coupons generated by Kool Aid and dressing
6.00 still left in coupons from last purchase
------------------------------------------
364.18 of groceries for .49 + $100 in gift cards

We got a $100 gift card for Best Buy, combined with a 10% coupon, a 10% labor day Sale and an online price match to purchase a new Bissell pet magnet vacuum for $29.00. Not fun, but our other one is about dead.

*cracks knuckles* this week's shopping includes Joint Juice and Powerade Zero for free + $4 coupon for next order. We got a free reusable bag to bring it home in too (pink breast cancer bags just came in). I should have $16 for this week's trip by the end of Saturday.

I am DEFINATELY going to have to start putting a lot more time into watching for promos and checking out loyalty card reward programs.
