Adventures in Unilever at Price Chopper - Part 1

Today my husband and I took a road trip to a Price Chopper that doubles coupons - about 1 hour away! It wasn't too bad except that about 5 minutes before we arrived at our destination, the school called to tell us our son threw up at lunch and Could we please come get him? Needless to say it was a quick shopping trip - we were in the store about 20-25 minutes and then back on the road! So, I made a few mistakes in my totals because I was rushed. I had guesstimated a couple of prices on Unilever products and my guesses were off...and there wasn't time to recalculate in the store because of the - ahem - vomiting issue...so we arrived at Price Chopper with our envelopes in hand. Unilever 1 and Unilever 2 complete with a list of what, how many for each transaction (he made one, I made one) and the exact coupons to use tucked into the envelopes. Here's how we did:

Transaction 1 (with Advantage prices):

1 Skippy PB ($1.99)

2 Breyer's Ice Cream ($2.99)

1 Hellman's Mayo ($2.48) This is the only item I had no coupons for!

1 Axe Shower Gel ($3.99)

4 Knorr Sides ($0.99 each)

1 Dove Body Wash ($5.99)

1 Bertolli Dinner for 2 ($6.99)

1 Bertolli Pasta Sauce ($2.50)

1 Country Crock sides ($5.79 - gasp! gasp! thankfully, I had a $1 off 1 that doubled!)

Subtotal before Advantedge and Coupons: $53.46

Total after: $26.06 and receive a $20 off your next purchase at Price Chopper.

Transaction 2 (with Advantedge prices)

2 Skippy PB ($1.99)
1 Breyer's Ice Cream ($2.99)
2 Hellman's Mayo ($2.48) This is the only item I had no coupons for!
1 Axe Shower Gel ($3.99)
4 Knorr Sides ($0.99 each)
1 Dove Body Wash ($5.99)
1 Bertolli Dinner for 2 ($6.99)
2 Bertolli Pasta Sauce ($2.50)

2 Country Crock sides ($5.79)

1 Ragu Sauce - BIG Jar ($2.99)

1.5 lbs of green grapes ($0.99/lb)
Subtotal before Advantedge and Coupons: $63.14
Total after: $32.10 and receive a $20 off your next purchase at Price Chopper.

Plus, I can use either one of my receipts to send in with the purchase of a $20 ham or turkey and be reimbursed up to $20. I will do that tomorrow when I go use my $20 ONYO coupons.

So after tomorrow's shopping trip and rebate:

$120 worth of groceries for $56 this week!

I'll post part 2 with the rest of the groceries that I get tomorrow!

Price Chopper NewsFlash!

Finally! A deal at Price Chopper Northeast worth getting REALLY excited about!
It's a Unilever Double Dip! If you saw the rebate form in this weekend's paper for the free ham or turkey from Unilever when you buy $40 worth of Unilever products, you probably got pretty excited!
Well, at Northeast Price Chopper when you buy $40 worth of Unilever products, you get a catalina for $20 off your next purchase! Potentially, even without coupons, you can get $80 worth of groceries for just $40. Add in some coupons and you can get lots more!
I'm even planning a trip to the PC that's 45 minutes away because it doubles coupons! I can't wait to take advantage of this trip.
Note: Unilever will reimburse you up to $20 for your ham or turkey so make sure you get one as close to $20 or possible!
I'm off to plan my trip! If you have a plan for this deal, with or without a PC in your area, please share your ideas here!
