What a day
I had tons of errands to run today, despite the snow flurries (which is crazy because two days ago it was sunny and 70 degrees). Since I already had to go to the bank to deposit some checks, return something at Target, and return something at JCPennys, I went ahead and shopped at Target and then went next door to ALDIs. Then on the way home I stopped by Safeway to spend my $2.00 catalina. I know it's crazy, but I have a lot of fun things planned for this week and didn't want to be stuck shopping, not to mention I am kid free today. Here's what I got today:
ALDIs:
4 bags Doritos (for my sister, to repay her for my lunch she bought today) - $4.76
gallon milk - $3.19
5 lbs potatoes - $2.89
Total - $10.84
Using Walmart prices, it would have cost - $15.50
I saved - $4.66
Target:
2 UP2U gum - $1.29
- used 2 $1.00 manufacturer's coupons
- used 2 $0.55 Target coupons (adjusted to $0.29)
makes them FREE
Target brand 100 pk snack size bags - $2.49
- used $0.50 Target coupon
makes them $1.99
Kara's yogurt drinks - on sale for $2.00
- used $1.00 off 2 Target coupon
makes them $1.50 each
2 half gallons Kara's chocolate milk
2 Honey Bunches of Oats for Michael
- used 2 $2.00 off milk and cereal coupons
makes the 4 $7.66, or $1.92 each
Sprite toy for Kara for Easter - $14.89
- on sale for 4.46
Total, plus tax - $37.09
Sales & coupons & 5% off for using Target card - $20.35
I paid - $16.74
I saved 55%
THEN I got a $0.55 coupon for Kara's milk, AND $20 towards something at Shutterfly. SWEET!!! I'm thinking I'm going to use it for a Mother's day gift.....
Safeway:
2 pkgs Keebler Fudge cookies - $8.38
- used Safeway coupon 30% off
- used $0.55 off 2 coupon (which doubled)
- used $2.00 catalina from last trip
I paid: $1.42, or $0.71 each
So, for two gallons of milk, two pkgs yogurt drinks, 2 boxes cereal, 2 pkgs cookies, 5 pounds potatoes, a present for Kara, 2 pkgs gum, 100 pk snack sized bags, and 4 bags doritos:
Total - $60.97
Coupons & sales - $31.97
I paid - $29.00
I saved 52%
If I count $20 back for Shutterfly, which will pay for a Mother's day present, I spent $9.00. Which means I saved 85%. :-D
Combining this with my stockpile and meat in the freezer, I SHOULD be able to not shop the rest of the week. Let's see how that goes. ;-)
