Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is - I saved 84% on Pet Supplies



Lately I have been posting a lot of pet deals and savings. Now it's time to show you that I know what I'm talking about. This week the shopping that I am MOST proud of is my pet supplies stockup. First, I'll tell you how I did, then I'll tell you how I did it.

I spent $37.50 and saved $189.66 - a savings of 84%!

How did I do it?

First, I went to Walmart. I took the Food Lion insert with me as they had 16-19lb bags of Kibbles n Bits BOGO. However, the shelf price for that size bag was $2 cheaper at Walmart ($11.98) than at Food Lion (13.99).

I bought:
(4) 20lb bags of Kibbles n Bits Homestyle at $11.98 per bag.
I price matched the Food Lion BOGO sale, making each bag $6.99 and used:
(4) $1.50 off Kibbles n Bits
Total: $19.63 for four bags! Savings of $28.29.

Then I bought (2) 14lb Fresh Step litters at $7.47 each. I had (2) FREE 14 lb box of litter coupons that I got on Ebay for $3 each, and I used those. I paid $1.05, just the tax. (beats the $7.47 full price!)

Then I went to PetSmart
I bought:
(2) Tidy Cats Breeze Litter Box Systems (retail for $36.99) that are currently on sale for PetPerks members for $24.99.
(4) Authority Cat Food, 4lb (retail for $7.99) on sale for $5.99
(10) Authority Cat Food Wet, 3oz cans, .59 each

My first Transaction
(1) Breeze Litter Box
(3) Authority Cat Food, 4lbs dry
(6) Authority Cat Food Wet, 6oz cans

I used:
-(1) $5 off Breeze PetSmart coupon, printable
- (1) $10 off Breeze Litter System manufacturer coupon, printable
-(3)$5 off one bag of Authority dog or cat food, printable
-(3) Receive two cans of free Authority cat food, 6 oz wyb dry cat food

(1) $5 off $25 Purchase Petsmart coupon, printable
Total OOP: $8.50

(4) Authority Cat Food Wet, 6oz cans

I used:
-(1) $5 off Breeze PetSmart coupon, printable

-(2)$5 off one bag of Authority dog or cat food, printable
-(2) Receive two cans of free Authority cat food, 6 oz wyb dry cat food
