Tops Shopping Trip April 21, 2013
So you know I LOVE my Wegmans….well I LOVE my Tops also!
I am very strategic when I shop at Tops taking advantage of the Bonus Gas Point/Save Instantly Deals! I have already filled up with my first 30 gallons of FREE gas and I am working towards my next. We have this week and next week left for earning gas points so I don’t think I will get to the $3.60 mark but I am surely going to try! 
I plan on doing 4 more orders of the Granola bars and probably another of the Sandwich and Pretzels.
I am VERY LUCKY! I shop at Canandaigua, NY Tops where I get to double dip and take advantage of the 200 Bonus Gas Point deals but I also get to save $3 instantly!
Here are my (3) transactions broken down:
Transaction 1
(6) Quaker Chewy Bars 2/$5

If you are a regular follower of mine you know how much I LOVE shopping at Wegmans. In my area their meat and produce is the freshest and sold at a good price. I also like that when an item is on sale, it is for a few weeks so you don’t have to run out and get it ASAP. I can order some coupons and purchase a few items here and there. I also like the CLP items, they are hard to beat (often lower than Aldi’s).
So here is my recent shopping trip. I try not to use a lot of coupons as Wegmans is not “a coupon friendly” store IMOP. I plan on going back and purchasing several more of the items above.
You will see I have several coupons that are listed as regional. Each Sunday I compare what coupons I received in my insert vs what “higher” regional coupon is. Often times I will order the higher value coupon through a coupon clipping service.
(4) Fiber One 90 cal. bars $2.50 – on sale thru 4/27
(1) Lysol Wipes 90 ct $3.99 – on sale to 5/4
(1) Lysol Disinfectant Spray $4.29

This is my first shopping trip to Tops this week. I am out of printer ink and there are some coupons I need to print so I figured I would just do the Bonus Gas Point Deals.
My first stop was to CVS where I had a major detour of what I orginally planned on doing as they don’t carry Amp or the Starbucks Refreshers So I did one quick transaction

Then it was onto Walgreens where it was another quick shopping trip. I wanted at least (2) Butterball Turkey bacon so I could use my coupon but sadly they only had one left.

Then it was onto Tops where I had a problem. The register for the Pepsi Moments To Save deal did not automatically generate the 200 Bonus Gas Points or the $3 Instant Savings. The wonderful Service Manager Vickie scanned some sheet to give me the 200 Gas Points and did something else so I could get the $3. What Great Service! I had absolutely no trouble with the Tops Product Deal.

How did your Sunday Shopping Go?
by admin on July 15, 2012
Total OOP for everything $74.19!
Well this is not the least expensive trip I have paid at Tops. However, I wanted to stock up on Bath Tissue as the deals have been far and few between and that did take up $18 of my budget. But I ended up with (12) Angel Soft and (4) Marcal, not bad!
By the way my weekly budget is $60 – $100. I like to be more towards $60 but this week I did spend more. There is so much here that it would take me forever to list it all.
How did you make out today at Tops? Did you find any great deals?
I am a proud mother to a beautiful daughter. I live in the Finger Lakes Region in Upstate NY located on scenic Keuka Lake. I have been couponing for 15+ years. During this time I learned the CORRECT way of couponing. I have been able to save money, earn free gas, feed my family, and make money ALL WITH COUPONS! Yup, you heard it right…..coupons. Come join me on this fabulous journey of savings. I promise it will be a fun ride.
