Read this deal on A Full Cup coupon site. It would be a great way to start a stockpile. I mentioned this deal a few post back but since I just picked up eight more boxes today I wanted to do a specific post on it.
My family loved taco night and whenever I can stock up on taco supplies, of any kind, I do. We probably have taco night two times a month, so if I wanted to stockpile for a year I would need 24 boxes. When I first started couponing about 5 years ago, I couldn't wrap my mind around stockpiling because I thought it just meant having excess.
Excess: the state of exceeding what is normal or sufficient: 2. An amount or quantity beyond what is normal or sufficient; ...
But then I realized how important it is to stockpile items when they are on sale or a good price. This understanding has saved our family thousands of dollars year after year. And has given me the opportunity to share with family and friends or donate items to a food bank.
THE DEAL:
The Ortega Taco Shells are $1.69 at Kroger and they all have $1.00 coupons attached to them.
(8) Ortega 12 Yellow Corn Taco Shells X $1.69= $13.52 - (8) $1.00 off one coupons=
$5.52 oop plus tax.
Be sure and check the expiration date: All of these boxes do not expire until February and March of 2013.
This is a close up of what the peelie coupon looks like on the package:
I found the majority of Ortega Taco Shells on a separate display by the luncheon meat, so keep your eye peeled if there are none on the regular grocery aisle. I looked last week at the Mexican food aisle just to check and there were none of the boxes with peelie coupons there, today I'm in a completely different part of the store and found a whole display.
