This week I ended up shopping at my three favorite stores. I mostly bought things that were on sale that Rob insisted that he needed for school, like Ramon Noddles and pears. And there were fruit and veggies that I ended up buying because I needed them. So this post will not have as many good deals as the last one.
The store where I did the most damage was at Tom Thumb. My best deal of the week was on the selected General Mills cereals for $1.99. Now I did not need to buy cereal this week since last week I bought so much, but after all the coupons I could use to reduce the price, I could not resist. So I only bought two boxes of cereal because I had a $1 off of 2 coupon from the Sunday paper that needed to be used. I checked my Cellfire app and the Shortcuts website for any electronic coupons to add on top of that. I found one for 55 cents off of any Honey Nut Cheerios and a 55 cents off of any Lucky Charms cereal. I found those on Cellfire. On Shortcuts I downloaded one for 55 cents off of any Honey Nut Cheerios and a 60 cents off of any Lucky Charms cereal. So in total I had 5 coupons to use on 2 boxes of cereal! I knew I was going to score big on this one. So after all was taken off, I ended up paying $0.39 for the Honey Nut Cheerios and $0.34 for a box of Lucky Charms! My next exciting find was in the meat department. While checking out to see if they had any meat cheap, I noticed that they had their pork shoulder roast on sale for 99 cents a pound! Rob loves pork and at that price, I had to get one. The regular price on this roast was $12.91 and I ended up getting it for $4.75! I guess we are having pork roast on Monday. I bought other items at Tom Thumb, but those two were my greatest finds.
At Albertsons, I only spent $6. They had a coupon in their flier to make Cambell Tomato Soup $0.49 a can with a limit of 6. Not a bad price as is and considering I was almost out, I went ahead and bought six for that price. Now usually when they have Cambell Tomato Soup on sale, I usually had coupons to go with it, but alas not this time. I also had to get Ramon Noddles for Rob. They were 3 for a $1. Not bad for the ones in the cup, but I prefer to buy the other kind because they are much cheaper and multipurposal to cook with. But since Rob is taking these as his lunch for grad school, then I guess where he would need the ones in the cup.
Kroger was my last stop for the day. I had to get pears for Rob because he wanted a snack to tie him over until lunch time and since plums were too messy, he wanted pears. Kroger had pears for $1 a pound which was cheap enough for me to buy him enough to last a week. Kroger also had assorted Danamino yogurts on sale for $1.88 a pack. Since I had 2 $1 off of one for Danaminos, then I got two packs of yogurts for $0.88 each. Nice little treat I can put in the kid's lunchbox. My most exciting find at Kroger, was when I saw that the 12oz bag of Nerds where on sale for $2. I remembered my 50 cents off of one bag coupon I have in my stash, which was doubled to bring my final cost down to $1 for that one bag! Now that I have my coupons in my new organized binder, it only took me 5 seconds to retrieve my coupon! Before I would have to sort through all my coupons by hand until I found it. That usually took me minutes, and most of the time I just did not want to hassle with it. Not anymore, now I was able to splurge and buy that bag of Nerds, which happens to be my favorite candy in the entire world!
So today I didn't totally rocked it like last week, but I think I did fairly well. I spent $63.09 and got $121.19 worth of food. That is a savings of $58.10, which is almost 50%. Now next week I plan on some great deals since it will be a holiday weekend. The last holiday for barbecue, so I plan on drinks, chips, cokes, meat, etc to be on sale everywhere. But until then, I'm going to relax and enjoy my Nerds.
