Today I picked up:
3 toothpaste = FREE
8 Pop Tarts (limit 8) = $4
2 Fruit Snacks 10pack = $1
$5 + tax
Pretty good for brand name pop tarts and OK toothpaste.
My resale value for toothpaste is $1 per tube----if I sold them it would mean that I got the pop tarts for only $2 + tax. ... just thinking about the bottom line. Yes, I do sell some of the stuff I get for free at garage sales. I love it. The toothpaste and brushes sell really fast for $1 each---I get sooooo many of those for free-----pure profit!
Here's a scenario. Lets just say that we split this up by $ per snack....there's 64 pop tarts & 20 fruit snacks. 84 snacks in all ----that's about .06 per snack. Pretty good. Note: I usually save these types of snacks for treats or road trips. I love that Jacob likes the pop tarts without the frosting - only a teeny bit less sugar but I'll take it!
Warning: When buying anything in bulk----check ALL expiration dates and decide whether or not you'll actually use the items before they expire. When stacking in your pantry make sure to circle expiration dates and/or put the soonest expiring in the front.
Happy Shopping - Julie

Love the blog background change. Little birds are just so cute and happy! Sounds like you still got the savin' bug! I haven't saved much on groceries in a while but I'd like to. We need double coupons back. TRUE double coupons!!
i'm so excited about the pop tart deal. i want to go tomorrow, if it's not pouring rain. and excited to see if I can still get the L'oreal deal at CVS. pray for me that they'll have a lot of them tomorrow for me.
