My Shopping Plan

Copps has that killer deal on Oscar Mayer Bologna and Cotto Salami this week, where they end up being $.20 each! My real shopping day will be Wednesday, but I will "test" the meat scenario on Saturday....I also have an Egg Voucher to use up - but it will be a SMALL plan.

For Wednesday, I have pre-ordered 50 of each for my church's food pantry. For Saturday (tomorrow) I am going to test it by doing one transaction with 10 packs and see if TWO Catalina's print out. If it doesn't, then it looks like I will be checking out a LOT on Wednesday, and using the self check out like to do so.

What else grabbed my eye?

• The hubby LOVES the belVita crackers for breakfast on the run - it's gotten him off of cold cereal!
• 100 packs of bologna are for the food pantry.
• Ice Cream bars are used for a killer ice cream dessert (shared later - promise!)
• Trail mix is for the stockpile - a great thing to have on hand for summer "on the go" days!
• Freezer items (Kemps and pizzas) are for my brother...

It's going to be a BIG chunk out of my monthly budget, but I hope those $80 Catalinas are good thru 6/16 -- when it's rumored that we will have another Double Double Daze! I will shop like crazy that day, LOL!
