Harris Teeter and Aldi 4/5
I was already out coupon shopping for a customer, so I picked up a few things we needed - dr. pepper, ketchup, potatoes, and Kara's crackers w/peanut butter.
Harris Teeter was first. Man I love that store. Kara gets her own little shopping cart, a cookie, AND a balloon. They sure have amazing customer service! She was able to buy something of her own again, like our last trip. Here's her deal:
1 box lucky charms - $3.49
on sale for $2.50
used online coupon (sent it to our membership card) - $0.50
used internet coupon (printed it out) - $0.50 which doubled to $1
final price - $1.00
She saved $2.49, or 71%
She sure loved that! :-)
Then it was mommy's turn. Their deal for Dr. Pepper (Buy 2 12 pks, get 3 12 pks free) sounds really awesome, but their original price of $6.39 makes it not so exciting. But, it works out to $2.55 per 12 pk, which is the best price around now and I'm getting very low in my stockpile, so I got 5 12 pks for $12.78, but I saved $19.17 (remember, 3 were free)
Then Michael's favorite Pepperidge farm cookies that are normally SO expensive were on sale for half off. ($1.75). Then I had a $1 off 2 coupon, which makes them $1.25 each. I got 6 of those. $1.25 x 6 = $7.50, but I saved $13.44.
Last, but not least, I got some pizzas - Ristorante brand. They're really good and Michael wants to try a different brand than Red Barron. I consider $3 per pizza a good deal, so when these were half off $6.39 at $3.19 AND I had a $1 off 2 coupon, they were $2.69 each. Yeah, I got 6. :-) That was $16.14 total, but I saved $22.20.
So, Kara's and my total with tax was $38.19
We saved $57.30
or 60%.
Next was Aldi for my customer. The things I picked up for myself were:
Strawberries - $1.39
10 lbs potatoes - $4.29 (the website said they were supposed to be $1.99. Grrrrr.)
Cheese crackers with peanut butter for Kara's lunches - $0.99
Cheese crackers with peanut butter for Kara's lunches - $0.99
Ketchup - $1.19
Total - $8.85
I'm not sure how much I saved, but the strawberries were $3.50 and the potatoes were $8.98 at Harris Teeter. Oh, and the ketchup was $1.59 at walmart. So that's $7.20 savings right there. Let's just go with that. :-) That's 45% savings.
