Ronzoni pasta was on sale at Kroger for 50 cents each if you purchased 10 participating items in the store. Although I generally don't use coupons, I found out about their "$1 off of two boxes" coupons. I printed out the coupons at http://www.itpaystoeatpasta.com/, and had enough coupons for 16 free boxes. I had to buy 4 more to get the sales price, so I paid $2.00 for 20 packages, or 10 cents each! That's what I'm talking about!
I think deals like this makes me want to reevaluate my aversion to coupons. I normally don't use coupons because, 1) I don't get the Sunday paper, 2) I don't buy that many processed foods, and 3) I am too lazy to try to find deals like this. BUT, free is free, and if the stores and the manufacturers are having deals like this in these hard times, I think I better start paying attention! A big "thank you" shout out has to go to the "Deals To Meals" blog I follow, where I found out about this. Though the sale was over yesterday, you can still go online to print the coupons, which are good through June 9th. I would say one dollar off of two boxes is still a good deal! Hopefully the sales will continue through next week! You can only print each coupon twice, but I have two computers in the house, so I got double that amount. If you have access to more computers, then hurray for you!
BUT, as with most things in life, you get a break on one thing, and then get socked in another. At the last dental appointment, our dentist informed us that both our sons better get thier wisdom teeth pulled because they are coming in and will screw up thier orthodontic work in progress. He recommended that it be done this summer. My older son started complaining that his mouth was hurting two days ago, and is scheduled for the oral surgery tomorrow. Out of pocket costs for us (with insurance) will be $1300+. Ouch!
