How2Coupon: Stocking Up: Week in Review

I'm a big advocate of stockpiling. Not the 40+ bottles of ketchup kind of stockpiling, but a reasonable supply of whatever it is your family can and will use. I think the term "stockpiling" has a rather negative connotation now, thanks to the recent popularity of Extreme Couponing, so we'll go with "stocking up". I'm not preparing for a 40-year famine; I'm just buying when the prices are low (or free!) so I don't have to pay full price later.

You can follow my stock-up purchases every Saturday, starting today. Hopefully, you'll find it's a helpful and encouraging post! Here's what I stocked-up on this week:

1) Skippy Peanut Butter, Super Chunk, 16.3-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6) from Amazon for only $9.44 shipped ($1.57 per container). I used Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks, so completely free!
*Mostly for this recipe, and other baking/cooking.

2) My order from Peeled Snacks came in! So much organic, dried fruit goodness, and it cost me less than $1.00/bag out-of-pocket thanks to this this daily deal. Woohoo!

3) Huggies Wipes at Walgreens
*I purchased four packs for only $6.00 and change. I had a Register Rewards to use, but even without the RR, it's an amazing deal on wipes! I think the key to using all of these coupons is to buy multiple packs, which I planned to do anyways. If your store is out, be sure to get a rain check as today is the last day for this sale!

Huggies Wipes refill packs, on sale for $5.99
Use the $2.00/1 Walgreens coupon from the Infant Care coupon booklet {will deduct $2.00 from each pack}
and use the $2.00/1 Walgreens coupon from the August coupon booklet {will deduct $2.00 from each pack}
and use the $0.50/1 Huggies wipes coupon (7/17 SS)
Final price: $1.49!

4) Dryer's Ice Cream and BC Helpers at Albertsons
*You can read about the deals here and here, which are even better with doublers starting tomorrow! I rolled Catalinas, so I only paid $7.50 out-of-pocket for 10 Helpers and 6 Dreyer's ice cream 1.5 quarts. Plus, I still have a $4.00 Catalina to use. Rinse and repeat with this Dreyer's deal, because ice cream this cheap is rare! Trust me when I say that this will last us beyond Christmas!

It was a rather slow week because my youngest son caught a nasty virus. Fevers are the worst! We snuggled a lot, and didn't really leave the house until later in the week. If you had one of those weeks, too, rain checks are your friend!
