Hi, I'm Michelle, a coupon-crazy Maineah! This page is intended to be a public forum for sharing of tips, tricks and match-ups specific to Maine and the New England area. Are you tired of coupon match-ups that reference coupons we didn't get locally? Me too, so here we are, focusing on local stores and coupons that are received in Maine Newspapers!

Day Two of This Week's Deals, and Trip Two for Me!
It's official...my couponing is back in full swing! Things slowed down for a bit there, but you know I'm back when I make trips two days in a row to Shaw's! I have learned a lot through last week's trip as well as last night's when it comes to the Gotta Love Great Deals (GLGD), Bonus Web Exclusive Savings and Limited Time Offers. Today, I had a unique need for my shopping, a party! I made stuffed bread for a family party so I needed cheese and a few deli meats. These are NOT items a couponer likes to buy, but the coupon gods were with me! Check out the details!!!

In order to get the Limited Time Deal, I did need to make sure my total was at least $10 after all other promotions and coupons. This wasn't hard to do considering the deli items I needed. I'm also trying to take advantage of the BOGO sale on Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers this week in the most efficient way possible. Rather than buying 12 at once like I usually do, I'm planning several small trips, all of which will include a $4/$25 Email Savings Coupon. I LOVE coupons for a dollar amount off your total purchase; they make me feel like I'm using a coupon on something I would otherwise never get one for, like Goldfish Crackers! This is also great when getting produce, meat or dairy products.
Margherita Deli Meats (Pepperoni, Salami and Prosciutto)
They came to $3.50, $3.77 and $4.50 for a total of $11.77
Now, I didn't choose this brand, it's just what they had for what I needed
I was in luck though, because there were coupons on the counter for $1 off any Margherita deli item! This brought my deli total down to only $8.77
4 Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers
Priced at $2.39 each
On Sale Buy One Get One Free
Final Price $4.78 for all four, only $1.19 each!
Total Retail Value $56.83
Total after sales and coupons $26.18
I used my $4/$25 Email Savings Coupon, bringing my total down to $22.18
That's a savings of $30.65 or 54%. While it's not that impressive percentage wise, I was able to get some unexpected savings on the deli items I needed. I still met my standing goal of at least 50% savings, despite these less than couponer-friendly items!
