Saved 93% This Week

Over the last three weeks, I've purchased (or brought home free) 30 boxes/bags of frozen vegetables. I need to bookmark this page, so when readers start commenting I never buy vegetables - they will know I really do.

Walgreens
What a fantastic week for shopping at Walgreens. I'm sending the flu and cold medicine to my college student. Hopefully he won't need it, and will share with others on his dorm floor. I think the money I made buying it will cover the shipping.

Schnucks
I forgot to put my couple cans of Pillsbury Crescent rolls in the picture. I'm running short on freezer space after all the veggies I've brought home. If ice cream goes on sale next week, I don't know what I'll do.

  1. What was the deal with the chips at Schnucks?

  2. $2 for Grande tortilla chips and a $1/1 coupon from a past insert - $1 each.

  3. The Grande chips are an unadvertised sale. The coupon was in 9/13 SS. Sometimes when Schnucks runs unadvertised sales they are good for serveral weeks. I'll see if I can find out how long they are on sale for.

  4. I don't know why I get such a kick out of seeing the deals you got each week, but I do! Thanks for sharing!

  5. em - You're welcome. Posting my purchases really keeps me accountable to my budget. I like to look what others are purchasing also. I think there is a little bit of voyeurism in all of us.
