Price Matching

I have put together a video about Price Matching and how I plan my weekly grocery shop.  I know there is a lot of confusion and apprehension around Price Matching but it really is easy to do and will save you a lot of money on your weekly grocery shop.  Let me know what you think of the video.

Walmart Freebies

Tonight I was looking online making my grocery list for tomorrow when a deal popped up that I just had to try to get.  I read that Lysol was on sale for $2.00 at Walmart and then Rexall had $2.00 off coupons making them FREE.  My husband ran over to Rexall and was able to get 32 of them.  When I went to Walmart they were $2.68.  I decided to get 10 anyways as it was still a good deal.  I also picked up some mouth wash, floss and toothpaste.  Then I ran over to Loblaws to check out another deal on candles when I saw they had their Lysol on sale for $1.99 so I grabbed a flyer and ran back over to Walmart ... 10 minutes to close ...  I grabbed my remaining 22 lysols and bought those.  The best part is I was paid to walk away with everything :)  Here is my breakdown and my photos of the coupons I used.

9x Mouthwash = regular $1.00 coupon $1.00 = Free (saved $9.00)
8x floss = regular $3.67 coupon for free including tax ($4.15) = Free (saved $33.20)
10x lysol wipes = regular $2.68 coupon $2.00 = $0.68ea (saved $20.00)

RCSS Shop

This weeks challenge was taking my 2 year old with me while I did my grocery shop.  Surprisingly it went really well and i think I have figured out the system that works for me while shopping.  I am going to test it again this week and if all goes well again I will post a video on how I get organized for my shops :)  My cashier once again put in the LB price and not the KG price so I had a little extra savings on some produce.  Here is the break down of my shop this week:

RCSS Shop

I was not able to do my shop this week on Friday when I usually do it so I had to go Saturday night and it was unfortunate as there were a few items already gone that I wanted.  The good news is you could tell that people had been price matching which is great because the more it is done the longer they will keep it going. 

My cashier made a mistake when he scanned in all my Tostitos (6 bags) he price matched them as $2.50 instead of $1.88 so I went to the courtesy counter and was refunded all my money so I got 6 bags for FREE :)  I also was able to get the mail in rebate for $20.00 in coupons for all the pop, salsa and Tostitos I bought. (coupon found in store spend $20.00 get $20.00 in coupons)
