Mustard Anyone?

Lot's and Lot's of Mustard! Ya Want some? Yes, this is a lot of Mustard! Why do I have this much mustard? I like mustard! LOL. Ok, here is the deal... Did you know that couponing can make you (me) money? Sometimes, you can actually get cash handed back to you, sometimes you can get a gift card loaded with money... and sometimes you can get what is called a "Catalina" which are printed coupons at the register, that are good for "On Your Next Order" (OYNO), which is good as cash to me!
My friend Katherine tipped me off about the mustard deal. She ordered 160 coupons for mustard and we split the cost and I have 80 coupons for mustard. The mustard is on sale for .99 each, coupons double to $1 making the mustard FREE! The deal is that for every 2 you "buy" you get a $1 catalina! So doing the math, for every mustard I pull off the shelf, I am making $.50! I will do this until I run out of coupons! So I spent $4.25 on my share of the coupons, but will be making $40 for pulling free mustard off the shelves. Today, I pulled 18 off the shelves, but got $12 in catalina's back, I was only expecting $9 back, so I was surpised to get an extra $3 in catalina's! So I made $12 today and have 18 mustards! I won't keep 80 mustards, I will most likely give them away to family and friends, and donate some to the food banks! I still have a stash of mustards that Katherine drops off when she visits! I have an abundance of Mustard and KY Jelly that Katherine will throw in my bags or drop off when we visit. It is funny, but I always pass it along to unsuspecting family and friends too! Spreading the joy of coupons! ha ha
I do shop at Basha's from time to time, so I can either wait until a good deal comes up and use my catalina's there, or I can use them at Albertson's since they accept them there too!
So if you hear a couponer say, I made money... this is how it is done! I know how $12 to spend on anything I may need! Woohooo!
I have to mention that Katherine and I live kinda near eachother, but still manage to stay away from eachother's "Stores"... It is a respect thing and I don't invade her stores and she jokingly says she won't go to my stores. LOL Even though I want to get my share of mustards, I still want my friend Katherine to get her Mustards too! When we are chasing the deals, we will keep eachother in the loop of what stores we hit and what we "left"... LOL... We are like a tag team!
Thanks Katherine for the tip and for hooking up the coupons!

If you want some mustard, just let me know!
