The Budget Mommy Gets Paid To Buy Food

She was able to purchase $43 worth of food for free and get $0.67 back from the store as well. This is what ended up in her grocery bags:

Quaker Oatmeal Cereal Coupon: 160 Boxes of Cereal for $1.97
I continue to be the coupon king of cereal (now if I can just learn to expand this to other foods needed by food banks) by utilizing a bunch of rainchecks I received last week. A wonderful reader who wants to stay anonymous said that she could provide me with as many $1 off coupons for Quaker Oatmeal cereal as I needed which were available from a Sunday paper insert a few weeks ago. Safeway had the Quaker Oatmeal cereal on sale for $1 a box last week meaning that the cereal with the coupon was free. Since I couldn’t get the coupons before the sale was over, anytime I went to a Safeway, I checked to see if the Quaker Oatmeal cereal was in stock. If it wasn’t, I asked for a raincheck. This week I took the rainchecks and the coupons to get 155 boxes of Quaker Oatmeal cereal (a $618.45 retail value) for free:
