Today's Grocery Run - three transactions!
A lot of fun deals this week and I had one of those hams in mind - which was over and above the $25 threshold. Overall, I still did pretty well - over $140 for about $15. Besides that ham deal, there was the cracker/cookie deal - buy 8 and get them for $1.68 each -- add more for $2.50 each. PERFECT time to stock up on crackers for all the holiday parties and afternoon snacks...I DO want to point something out: When they have 8 oz boxes of crackers for the same price as the 12-13 oz -- which should you buy?
DUH - right?
But I saw people grab the smaller boxes and walk on! 10 BIG boxes gives you the same amount of crackers as 16 smaller ones. I got 6 boxes basically for FREE then by choosing the larger size.

How did you do this week at the store?
Wow!! I thought I did "okay" for my first time but you blew me out of the water. LOL
ReplyDelete***************
ReplyDeleteI Forgot! The items with the * are not part of the groceries, but holiday gifties! ( another post coming) Take that $5.48 out of the mix and my correct total for the week is $138.10 for $9.07 (93.7%).
I know you covered this before, but where do you find all your coupons? I get all the papers (double or triple, usually) and don't get some of the ones that you have. Your coupons match so nicely what's on sale. I print absolutely everything online, although you can only use at a limited of places.
ReplyDeleteToo often I find that I have all these coupons, but it's a waste of money to use the coupon and buy something that I don't normally buy or that isn't healthy. Does that make sense?
I am, however, loving CVS. There deals are amazing - I am going to try to cut my Target runs, with using all the freebies and stuff at CVS for all the necessary items but non-food related.
Merry, Merry Christmas! ~Anne
I agree Anne -- if you see "junk" in my list, it is usually for DH to take to work, LOL! He HAS gotten better though...I knew I wanted crackers for all the holiday cheeseballs and hot dips that I will be taking over the next three weeks - seriously, I have 9 parties to go to!
ReplyDeleteI have too much to put in a reply here but will blog it for you
