My Dollar General Shopping Trip (Cheap Hellmann’s Mayo and more deals)

After looking through the coupons from my Joplin Globe this morning, I decided to go and pick up a Kansas City Star. It has SO many more coupons than our local paper it is just astounding. I’ve compared each insert side by side in the past and it’s not even close, the bigger city papers get way more coupons for sure. I let my subscription to the Star expire awhile back because they wanted to charge me more than double the cost of the paper to deliver it. I called them up and asked for a better rate, they dropped they price, but still was not a good deal in my opinion, so I passed.  I have been keeping an eye out for a better deal, but haven’t spotted one as of yet.

In the meantime, I headed to my very nearby Dollar General to pick up one and snag a few deals while I was there. Tip: Some Dollar Tree Stores carry Sunday Newspapers and sell them for only $1.00. The one here in Joplin sells the Star, but head’s up, if you want one, be sure and get there right when they open, because from what I’ve heard, people are standing in line at the door waiting for them to open on Sunday mornings. I haven’t gone to pick up a Sunday paper from the one in Joplin since they moved after the tornado. It’s just too far out of my way now to justify the trip, especially in this heat. 😉

Anyway, I checked Dollar General’s ad this morning and noticed a few deals, so here’s what I snagged on this trip. I’m working on a Dollar General post for the week, so stay tuned later today…

  • KC Star – $2.00
  • 1 Stayfree Pads – $2.00, Used $2.00/1 Stayfree 7/22 SS insert

My Post Office, bank and the nearest Dollar General are all within 2 miles of my house, so that made my 3 errands very easy this morning! And it has been SO muggy lately, believe me, I really appreciate a quick trip. When I do go out, I try to incorporate as many tasks as possible so I’m not constantly out running around everywhere (not to mention needlessly wasting precious gas). Anyway, after I did my other 2 errands, I ran into Dollar General and picked up the following:

  • Glade Decor Scents Holder + 1 Refill – $2.50, Used $2.00/1 coupon, plus it had a $1.00/1 peelie coupon on it to use for a future purchase
  • 2 TGI Friday’s Snacks – $1.00 ea., Used $1.00/2 coupon previously available
  • 2 Stayfree Pads – $2.00, Used 2 $1.00/1 coupons previously available, there’s also a $1.00/1 coupon from the 5/6 SS insert (btw, a lot these weren’t tagged on sale, but the sale does include all varieties of Maxi & Ultra Thin)
