Shaw's supermarket is offering an incredible deal this week -- buy $100 or more of select gift cards and receive a coupon for $20 off your next grocery order (coupon expires 7 days after the transaction). Our family generally spends at least $2200 a year in books (my kids have to purchase textbooks for school and my husband is also taking classes), so my obvious choice today was to buy $100 worth of amazon.com cards. Not only did a $20 coupon spit out, but also a $5 one off a $25 gas gift card purchase. I quickly took these and shopped around for groceries, not remembering until I reached around $18 worth of items to check the clearance rack. And there they sat -- 3 huge boxes of Pampers, regularly priced at at least $19.99 reduced to only $10! With the $20 off, that came out to $10 for a three month supply. It would have been cheaper if I had coupons to add to it, but I only had $3 Huggies coupons. I put the rest of the groceries back, except for the bakery item, a chocolate chip muffin for my daughter. I'll definitely go back each day this week (limit of one such transaction per day) until the sale ends. I hope it works for you, too!
