Welcome to week THREE of the Iron Shopper Challenge! Every Monday I will set up this post where you can share and brag about the deals you got at the stores you shop. On Sunday morning I will close this thread and name the winner of the Iron Shopper Challenge for the week. The winner will be selected based on the number of votes their entry gets. So make sure to make your entry appealing to get people to vote for it. Share your deal with friends and family to get more votes too. Competing is OK but having fun is what’s important. I want this to be a forum where you can share and brag about the deals you have gotten.
Last week Elisa showed us how she gets paid to shop at Meijer. Who will be the winner this time around? I am still waiting for some Pick N Save Deals… Remember that it’s free to play and you get to share your deals plus you also get a chance to win a $20 prize. For a list of the rules and how-to’s check here. I will provide you with the link to share at the bottom of your comment in case you have problem figuring that out.
Have fun!

How did you do the Digorno deal?
I used the $4 off Q’s I received from my House Party package along with a CVS $5 off of $15 and some extra bucks and will be getting back $10 rebate for them! The party is this weekend so the sale came in perfect timing. The deal was so good that I decided to buy the pizzas instead of handing out the Q’s at the party, that way my guest can leave with the pizza box in hand since some might forget to use the Q before it expires.

4 Pampers sensitive wipes $2.99
9 Pampers baby fresh wipes clearanced for $0.87

-$5/15 CVS coupon
I spent roughly $2.50 with tax, and received $5 ECB’s

Here’s how I did—and you can see my feline friends Stewie and Lewie were excited to get in on the action of my deals as well!
Target trip-I had a great MONEY making Target trip this weekend! I also had a very nice Target cashier who took ALL my coupons and pushed them through if they beeped. I will definitely be looking for her again when I shop there!

That a $43.44 Money maker!! Woohoo! I saved $131!!
Stewie & Lewie are hoping I go back this week to get them the Tidy Cats giftcard deal!
Michael’s—
1 Pair of novelty dog bone socks—they were from the dollar section, which I thought was a good price but then they rang up 70% off! Only .30!
The idea of the challenge is to do things legit. I do not think that having “a few households” qualifies this as legit.
I just meant I would use my address and my parents address.
Hopefully the picture works this time….
OMG! Love the kitties in the pic, so cute!

I’m definitely hooked!
Everything in this picture is worth $156.79, but only cost me $23.62 out of pocket, and I came out ahead because I received a coupon for $8 off my next order, a coupon for a free gallon of milk up to $3, will send in my receipts for a rebate and get $10 back, and will get two movie tickets worth $12 each! (So without the movie tickets figured in all this only cost me $2.62! Could have made it less, but there were a few things we needed that weren’t on sale or didn’t have coupons for) Here’s how I did it:

Wow, that is incredible. I wish I was as thrifty, smart, and knew kings corner as you are. Keep up the good work!

I’m pictureless, as well, but thought I’d share, anyhow. Trying to get back into the groove after my puter was sick for 40 days.
At Wags, I got 7 Reach toothbrushes – all they had – for 93¢ plus tax. I might have done better, but they wouldn’t adjust the coupons down and I was in a hurry to get to CVS before they closed.
Next, I hopped across the street to CVS and got:
one Gillette ProGlide
six Dove deodorants
two Skinny Cow ice cream cups
one Dawn dish detergent
two Frito-Lay snacks
and three candy bars (dh was with me 8-} ).
I used:
one $4 Gillette Q
two $2 Dove Qs
two $1.50 Dove Qs
two $1.25 Dove Q’s
two $1 Skinny Cow Q’s
one 25¢ Dawn Q
one $4/$20 CVS Q
one $10 ECB
The final total, including tax, was $4.31, which I paid for with the $25 gift card I got for transferring a prescription last week. The receipt says I saved $42.10.
I got back:
$1 ECB for scanning my green bag tag
$1 ECB for the Frito-Lay snacks
$5 ECB for the ProGlide
$5 ECB for the Dove deodorants
OOP – $0.00!!!
Profit – $12!!!
I am so stoked! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s new sale! DH is hoping they have something besides deodorant and toothpaste, coz I think we have enough of both for at least the next 2 years, LOL!
I have a question on being able to experience this “awesome shopping” myself… I understand being able to stack mgf coupon with store coupon but how are people using “0″coupons in same transaction (ie SOBE purchase, etc) It’s my understanding with coupons its usually one per customer per transaction. (Can sometimes get away with two … but “10″ ! )HELP me understand how to better work this couponing so I can multiply my purchases with coupons like i see in these weekly iron shopper deals – THANKS !!
Walmart had the Gillette Fusion Sneak peak pack on sale for $5–regularly for $9.97. I had four coupons that I was going to use at walgreens for $4 off any Fusion. Luckily, I went to walmart first and picke up the big gift packs for $1 each!
