Pocket Your Dollars

A Monday tradition for me has become checking out the Pocket Your Dollars website! They have the sales for Rainbow stores listed as their circulars start on Mondays...it is the same Roundy's Chain as my Copp's/Pick N Save but our ads don't come out/start until Thursdays. This gives me a chance to roughly plan out what I will be getting at the store on either Saturday or the following Wednesday for double coupons.

Granted, their prices may be a little off of ours...like they had broccoli for $.99/pound and we got it for $.69/pound or they may have red grapes and we get green, etc. I use it as a rough guideline to make a plan and map out my coupons. Here is what caught my eye for this Thursday's add:


Sweet Potatoes $0.49/lb
Sale price, no coupon needed
Final price: $0.49/lb after sale**
**At Aldi’s lowest price last season we saw sweet potatoes for $0.33/lb; that said, this is a great price. Baked, then mashed sweet potatoes freeze well to use as a side dish

Final price: $0.99/lb
**they freeze and thaw pretty well too!

Here is a sample transaction running thru my head:
1 4# chicken ($3.52)normally $5.80
6 cans chili @$1.25 normally $1.50 ($9.00)
2 Toll House Cookies @$2.50 - normally $3.25 (6.50)
1 FREE Boboli pizza crust $4
$25.30 at full price, $6.02 after coupons, use $6 in RR (from my Wags trips this week) pay $.02 AND get $5 back!


The Hormel chili makes a GREAT dip when you add cream cheese and shredded cheddar!

I can roll that $5 into the Next transaction that has the American cheese, sweet potatoes, more Toll House, Milk, and Skippy (I have to check and see if I need more PB yet..>)

This is a GREAT start to my month and helps me cash in on that HyVee meat deal that I will share with a friend this month - yippe!
