Another week has gone by, and it's grocery shopping day at my household. This week there were not too many big deals going on, but there where enough for me to shop at all three of my grocery stores.
I started out with Kroger today. I mainly went there because Springdale milk is 99 cents a gallon. I also needed tomatoes and lettuce. The Roma tomatoes were 88 cents a pound and the lettuce was 99 cents a head. Kroger did have All Free and Clear on sale for $2.99. We received $1 off of any one All product in Sunday's paper. I decided to use all three of my coupons and got my All for $1.99 each. The best deal I got at Kroger was the Campbell condensed soups. The Campbell condensed soups were on sale for a dollar a piece. This included the Healthy Request soups too. I still had 40 cents off of 4 for any Campbell condensed soup and a 50 cents off of 2 Healthy Request Campbell condensed soup. I checked Shortcuts and there were new electronic coupons for Campbell soups. $1.50 off of 4 Healthy Request soups and $1 off of 2 any condensed soups. Kroger doubled both of my manufacturing coupons and applied both electronic coupons towards the 6 cans of soup that I bought. In the end, I paid $1.70 for all 6 cans! That is about 28 cents per can! I did do well at Kroger today. I paid just over $25 and saved $34.58, a savings of 58%!
Albertsons was next on my list. Albertsons has a coupon for Sara Lee Classic White bread for 99 cents a loaf, with a limit of 2 loaves. Albertsons also has Gain dish soap for 99 cents. I still had two $1 off of one Gain dish soap coupons that were expiring today. I used both of them and got 2 FREE dish soaps! My favorite deal at Albertsons was the Yoplait deal. If you buy 20 Yoplaits, then you will get $3 dollars off the final price. This made each yogurt about 35 cents each. Well we have tons of Yoplait coupons from prior Sunday papers. I had two 40 cents off of 6 and one 50 cents off of 8 Yoplait coupons. Albertsons doubled all three coupons and I ended up paying 22 cents per yogurt! I spent $13.87 and saved $17.47! Well on my way for a great shopping experience.
Finally was Tom Thumb. I needed cereal really bad this week since the kids ate all the cereal by Tuesday. Kroger did have Post cereal for $1.98 a box, but I felt like I could do better. Tom Thumb has a coupon for Kelloggs Special K cereals for $1.99 a box with a limit of four. I also had two coupons for $1 off of any 2 Special K cereals. So that dropped the price to $1.49 a box. Not bad for this week, but I have done better in prior weeks. I did check out the Post at Tom Thumb, since I still had coupons for buy any 2 Post Fruity Pebble cereals and get a box of Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows for free. Tom Thumb is the only store so far that has the new Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows. Post was on sale for $2.79 a box. I decided since I really do need cereal to give it a try. I bought the two boxes for $2.79 each and when I checked out, the scanner took off $4 for the third box instead of the sale price of $2.79! So I bought 3 boxes of Post cereals for $4.37, which make it about $1.46 a box. I did buy other items at Tom Thumb, but the cereal deals were the best in my book. I spent $27.20 and saved $28.23. Not as good as the other stores, but still a 51% savings.
After it was all said and done, I spent $66.09 and got $146.37 worth of groceries. I saved $80.28, a savings of over 50%! Not a bad job, considering there were not too many items on sale this week that I had coupons for.

My Weekly Deals
Once again it's Thursday and I'm ready with kids and coupons in tow to save some money. Today I went to Kroger and Tom Thumb. I know what you are thinking, what about Albertsons that I love so much. Well unfortunately, the only thing that Albertsons has on sale that I could use are apples. The items on my grocery list I can I get cheaper at the other two stores, but I still love you Albertsons.
I saved the most today at Tom Thumb. Both Tom Thumb and Kroger have selected General Mills cereals for $1.99 or $1.98 a box. I chose to get the majority of my cereal at Tom Thumb because, my Coupons.com app applies their electronic coupons only to my Tom Thumb card. I also had a decent cereal coupon for $1.50 off of 3 boxes of any General Mills cereal that I could only use at Tom Thumb. My other coupons are a dollar off of three boxes. I checked my Shortcuts and Cellfire coupons to see if there are any coupons that I can use. I had two, one for Multi-grain Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. These were on sale for $1.99. I was able to get a box of Multi-grain Cheerios for 74 cents! This was because my Shortcuts coupon was 75 cents off of one box of Multi-grain Cheerios. I got my Cinnamon Toast Crunch for 94 cents. My Shortcuts coupon was 55 cents off of a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Since I did not have anymore Cellfire or Shortcuts cereal coupons, I ended up getting a box of Lucky Charms for $1.49. My favorite deal of the week was for Campbell condensed soups. This week, Tom Thumb has the Campbell's condensed soups for a dollar a can. Last Sunday, we received coupons for 40 cents off of 4 Campbell condensed soups. I checked my Coupons.com app and there was a $1.49 off of any 4 Campbell condensed soup electronic coupon. Tom Thumb doubled my 40 cents coupon and applied the electronic coupon to drop my price to $1.71 for all four cans! That is about 42 cents a can! My next favorite deal was the whole fryer chickens Tom Thumb has for 59 cents a pound. I paid $2.73 for a chicken over four and a half pounds! At that price, I bought two. Herb rubbed roast chicken is on the menu for tomorrow. For anyone out there that loves Silk Almond Milk, Tom Thumb has a coupon to make Silk products $1.99 for a half gallon. Since in Sunday's paper I got a $2 off of 2 Silk Almond Milk coupon, I was able to get 2 half gallons for 99 cents each! In the end, I paid $28.62 and saved $45.76! That is a savings for 62% from just one store! Totally made my day!
My last stop was at Kroger. We are having salad to go with the herb rubbed chicken tomorrow, and Kroger has Roma tomatoes on sale for 88 cents a pound. I also bought five pomegranates for a dollar a piece. Kroger also has General Mills cereals for $1.98 a box. So if you do not have a Tom Thumb, then you can do what I did above at Kroger. Kroger also has Post cereals for $1.98 a box. I had a Kroger coupon for a dollar off of 2 Post cereals. Since we are completely out of cereal at my house, I thought why not get some Honey Bunches of Oats for Rob. Kroger has Sara Lee bread on sale for 98 cents a loaf. I decided to buy 2 loaves and use one for tonight's dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, using 2 of my Progresso Hearty Tomato soup cans from my pantry. Trying to remember to rotate my food supply to make room for more. Overall I find it harder to get a 50% or greater savings per week at Kroger, but I did save 47%. I spent $31.99 and saved $27.11.
In the end, I spent $60.61 and bought $133.48 worth of groceries. That is a savings of $72.87! Much more than a 50% savings! I think this was a great shopping experience!

Organizing your pantry
Since I have been doing coupons, I have accumulated quite a bit of dry and canned goods over the years. After going to Kroger this morning to pick up some milk and more Libby canned veggies for 17 cents a can, I realized that it was time to reorganize my pantry. I find that I have to reorganize my pantry about twice a year.
A couple of years ago, I came to the realization that the two small cabinets that I was using to store my dry and canned items were just not cutting it anymore. My mother had a wonderful suggestion to help me find space for my food. She suggested that I take my linen closest, in the kitchen hallway by my bedroom door, and make it into a pantry. A decision that has benefited my family, by allowing me to have more room for more food. Something we desperately need since there are 6 of us.
Now after three years of using coupons, I find that if I do not organize my pantry every six months that I tend to run out of room in my pantry. After six months, cans tend to be placed where ever I can find a space and instead of being placed by other like canned food. In my pantry I try to keep all my canned items in the middle since that is where I have the most space. Up top, I place my dry items like rice, pasta, taco shells, etc. In the bottom where the hamper used to be, I place my big bulk items like my 25lb bags of all-purpose flour and bread flour, and my home made canned fruit.
Today I started my reorganizing efforts with my canned food. This is were I tend to get into trouble when it comes to keeping my pantry organized. I try to keep my like canned foods together and line them up from furthest away from the expiration date in the back to the one closest to expiring in the front. This method is recommended when doing food storage. That way you can keep your food rotating and not having any go to waste. It also lets me take inventory of what items I have plenty of and what I need to stock up on.
Today I noticed that I have more than enough canned diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. So I organized those cans together and made a note that I do not need to buy anymore tomato product for at least 6 months. Next I saw that I had more than enough canned corn, green beans, and mixed veggies to last me until Spring. Most of those I bought within the past week!
I did notice that I had only 4 cans of evaporated milk left and it was getting close to the expiration date. I'm not too worried about running out, since in about a month is when I tend to stock up on evaporated milk for the year. In October, is when the coupons come out for evaporated milk and around Thanksgiving is when Kroger has sales for evaporated milk too. Last year I got all my evaporated milk for free. I also saw that I am low on chicken broth and condensed soups that I like to use for cooking. Good thing that for the last couple weeks, we have been getting Campbell's condensed soup coupons in the Sunday paper. Now I just need to wait for a sale to come around for me to stock up. Here soon we should be getting the Swanson Broth coupons. During the winter months is the best time to stock up for the year on my beef and chicken broths. If in a pinch, I do keep extra chicken thighs in the freezer for me to use to make homemade chicken broth. Which in my opinion is far superior than the stuff you get at the store, but I just don't have the time to make that much broth and freeze it.
After reorganizing my cans, I moved next to my dry goods. That was not too hard. Most of the items were where they needed to be, I just had to put the pasta together and throw away any expired items. I did spend some time reorganizing my condiments. I used to have these by my canned items, but since I needed the space, I had to move them up top with the dry goods.
The last thing was to organize the bulk items, but since I only have a couple of these, I did not have to do this. Took inventory of my homemade canned fruit and saw that I was out of pickles and running low on canned peaches. I guess next time I go to my parent's house, I can pick some up.
Overall, it only took me an hour to redo the pantry. Not too bad since last time I redid the pantry, it took me all morning. You will find that the longer you coupon and the more items you pick up, the more you need an organized pantry. It makes life easier, especially when you are planning dinner and need to make sure you have all the ingredients. Just doing mine today, gave me ideas for meals I can do during the week. It is also nice to open the doors and see just how much food I have to feed my family and know that it was not expensive to accumulate it too.

The deals of the week
Okay so it's Thursday once again, and time to take the boys and hit the grocery stores. Today I only went to Albertsons and Kroger. Tom Thumb has some deals going on, but nothing that really caught my attention. I was able to get great deals on several items that I stock piled to use when money is going to be tight, which will be in a couple of months. Rob was laid off a month ago and started school the same week. It is actually a good thing for us, since he is getting several months of severance pay, which will lower how much money we will have to borrow while he is in school. So while we have money coming in, I am trying to stock pile on as many essentials as possible to use when no money is coming in.
The first store I went to today was Albertsons. Albertsons is have a buy one get one free on practically everything in the store. This is a good opportunity to get 2 items for the price of one and use 2 coupons on top of the sale. Gain dish soap is on the buy one get one free sale. The price of one Gain is 99 cents. We received a dollar off of one Gain dish soap coupon at the beginning of the month. I had two of these coupons, so I decided to get 4 dish soaps. So without the coupons, I would pay under 2 dollars for those 4 dish soaps, but if you take in account the coupons, then I ended up getting the dish soap for FREE!!!! Progresso Vegetable Classic soups are on sale for 99 cents. I had two 50 cents off of any two Progresso soup coupons. Albertsons doubled both of my coupons to make each can 49 cents! Not as good as 25 cents a can, but I will still pay under a dollar for the Progresso Hearty Tomato soup. It will make a cheap meal during the fall and winter months. My family loves to eat grilled cheese and tomato soup. Albertsons does have selected General Mills cereals on sale 3 for $5. We got in last Sunday's paper coupons for $1 off of 3 General Mills cereals. Not as good as the $1 off of 2 you can print from Coupons.com, but my printer is out of ink so I have to make due with what I have. If you do have any $1 off of 2, then you can get each box for $1.17.
My last stop was at Kroger. I could of gotten all my items at Albertsons, but Kroger has Libby canned veggies for 2 for a $1. Since I have lots of $1 off of 3 cans of Libby's veggies coupons, I decided to stock pile of canned veggies for when the money famine hits. I used three of my $1 off of 3 cans coupons, and was able to get nine cans of veggies for $1.50! That is about 17 cents a can! I think I may have to go back on Monday and use another 3 coupons for that price!
There were other items I bought that were on sale, but the ones that I write about are the true gems. Not as many as last week, but I was able to get food to put away and food for the week. In the end, I spent $67.72 and got $135.51 worth of groceries. I saved $67.79 which is a 50% savings! Today was not a bad day to save.

One Month Down!
It has been one month since I have decided to ween my family off of Wallymart. So far the temptations have been to a minimum. For example, last week I needed to buy a universal remote for the DVD player in my bedroom. My first instinct was to go to Wallymart, but I quickly reminded myself that I was not going to buy anything from Wallymart for a year. So then I started to think, where can I get a universal remote cheap? Then the answer popped in my head, Super Target. So I loaded up my sons, survived the rain, and headed out to Super Target. I was able to find several brands of universal remotes at Target. The cheapest was under ten dollars and the most expensive was way over one hundred dollars. I checked the cheapest to see if it was compatible to my DVD player. Unfortunately it was not, so I checked the fourteen dollar one. Jackpot, it said on the back Memorex. So I bought the fourteen dollar remote.
Now after I got home, I quickly put batteries in the remote and set to work to get it up and running. In a few minutes, I was able to program my TV. So next I tried to program the DVD player. I tried all the combinations for Memorex. No dice. So I decided to see if I could program my U-Verse. After 5 minutes, I had my U-Verse programmed. Tried to program my DVR, but no luck since I had no clue to what brand it is. So I went back to trying to figure out the DVD player. I tried all the combinations again and then some. No luck. I checked the Internet and could not find anything to help me. After 2 more hours, I had to give up, especially when I discovered that the code for my DVD player could be one of the other codes for a different brand since it may not have been made by Memorex. Now how stupid is that. I go to the store to buy a remote. I checked the back to see if it was compatible to my DVD player, which it is. And now after research on the Internet, I find out that the remote I bought may not be compatible because it may have been made by a different manufacturer then what it says on the DVD player box. Naturally I was kind of ticked off by that.
After feeling defeated, I pondered if I would of just sucked it up and went to Wallymart, would I have had a different outcome. Who knows, may be or may be not. I really cannot say. But I am glad that I stuck to my guns and went elsewhere, even if I ended up wasting fourteen dollars on a remote that works for everything but the one thing I want it to work for.

Ode to Albertsons
Sorry for not posting my finds last week, but I was too sick to do anything. Now that I have taken my drugs and the illness is finally going away, I have the energy to blog about my latest shopping experience. I did shop at all three stores today, but I bought the majority of my items at Albertsons. I did so well there today, that I have dedicated this post to Albertsons.
But before we get to Albertsons, I did find some good deals at Tom Thumb. I had a coupon for $1.50 off of 2 Post cereals with a purchase of 1 gallon of any milk. Since I need milk anyways, I choose to buy my milk at Tom Thumb so I could use this coupon on the store's Post cereal sale. Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles are on sale 3 for $5. Which if you do the math is about $1.67 a box. If you subtract my $1.50 coupon, then I got 2 boxes of Post cereal for 92 cents each! Tom Thumb also has the Vegetable Classic Progresso soups on sale for a dollar each. I still had a 50 cents off of 2 coupon from a couple of weeks ago. I also checked my Cellfire coupons and sure enough I still had a 50 cents off of 1 Progresso soup coupon. So when I went to check out, Tom Thumb doubled my 50 cents off of 2 coupon and applied my Cellfire coupon to drop the price to 25 cents a can! Now that was an awesome deal! I did buy other things at Tom Thumb, but those were my best finds at the store. In the end, I paid $14.37 and saved $19.45. That is a 57% savings!
Now finally to my favorite store of the week, Albertsons. This week Albertsons has lots of good deals going on. Lots of buy 1 get 2 free deals on meat and split chicken breast family packs buy 1 get 1 free. I did take advantage of this and bought the Tilapia that was on the buy 1 get 2 free deal. I ended up paying on $8.99 for 3 packages of fish. I decided to get my split chicken breast at Albertsons too. I paid $10.63 for 2 huge packages of split chicken breast. But my best finds were with the Campbell soup deals going on at Albertsons.
Albertsons has the regular Spaghettios 2 for a $1. Two weeks ago in the Sunday paper, we received 40 cents off of any 2 Spaghettios coupon. Since I had 3 of those coupons, I decided to stock pile of Spaghettios. Albertsons doubled all three of my coupons to make the grand total 10 cents per can! That is almost free! The Campbell hand soups were also on sale for $1 a piece. In the same Sunday paper, we received $1 off of 2 Campbell hand soup coupons. Since Rob needs easy lunches to take to school, I thought why not give it a try. I had 3 coupons, and Albertsons did take all 3 of my coupons to make the grand total 50 cents a piece. There were other good finds that I bought at Albertsons, but those were the best! The reason why I love Albertsons today is that in the end, I spent $46.99 and saved $66.45!
I did go to Krogers, but I only went there because they still had Wonder bread for $1 and the items I need to make salsa for my book club tonight were on sale there. Nothing worth mentioning at all. So when it was all over, I spent $74.19 and got $164.34 worth of groceries! I saved $90.14! That is way over a 50% savings! I think this was a good week to save.
