I saved 70% at MARTIN’S

I mentioned several weeks ago that MARTIN’S did a huge mailing to all residents with zip codes near the newly remodeled stores.  They published store coupons with staggered dates so they could get shoppers in the stores about once a week for the next month.  These coupons have been great!  I used the ones for this week last night when we hit the store after being out-of-town for several days.  I got $3 off my purchases of $30 or more, a free 45 oz Ragu pasta sauce, and a free 1-lb box of San Giorgio Macaroni. 

Have you seen this coupon booklet?

I found it sitting on a table when they had employees registering customers for MARTIN’S cards.  I also saw some sitting at the Service Center desk (formerly customer service).  The coupons are for MARTIN’S Store brand items, but I saved $17 last night and got lots of free and almost-free items with the coupons.  The coupons require you to spend a minimum of $15 after all discounts and before tax.  I was able to use multiple coupons from the booklet along with my coupons from the Richmond area mailer together in one transaction.

Here is a picture of my purchases from last night:

Shelf Price (before sales, coupons, or tax): $85.46

Final Price (after sales, coupons, before tax): $26.04

Total Savings: $59.42 (70%)

I will let you know what I think about the MARTIN’S store brand items as we try them out.  I was really hesitant to buy the diapers, I have always been a “Pampers Snob” after having bad luck with a couple of other brands when the girls were each small.  I figured that for $2.99 if I don’t like them I will leave them in the church nursery.

Have you tried any of the MARTIN’S brands?  Did you like them, or notice a difference?
