Brag of the Week

This week's brag was at King Soopers (Denver's Kroger affiliate store chain).   This is, I must say, a rather spectacular brag, even for me, and it was made possible mostly due to the wonder of digital coupons.

• Because I was able to stack 1) digital coupons that were loaded on to my King Soopers loyalty card, 2) store coupons, and 3) manufacturer's coupons, I basically hit the Trifecta of couponing:  triple stacking.
• King Soopers also doubles all coupons up to a dollar.  Couponing tip:  save all your low value (under a dollar) coupons for supermarkets that double.
• Because of the coupon combos that I had, I got quite a number of free items, like three tubes of Colgate toothpaste, Schick Hydro 5 razor, Physician's Formula eyeliner, and Pedigree dog food. 
• I scored a free $10 eight-pack of Bounty from King Sooper's Deal of the Day on Monday.
• I had a $3 off $3 coupon from a previous King Soopers Daytona 500 promotion.
• I had a $5 off $5 coupon from entering the Pillsbury Bake-Off

Bottom line? My bill (excluding tax) came to $145.48.  I paid $39.38 (including tax).  I basically saved 77% off my total bill.  Yeah, that's a brag.

Got brag?  Impress me and I'll happily post it. The only thing I like as much as saving money is watching other people save money.
