Walgreens
I was excited Entertainment Books were on sale again this week. I love trading my Register Rewards for Shop 'n Save coupons in the Entertainment book. And, with the Ecotrin money-maker I was able to pick up Ziploc Freezer bags with the overage. Thanks goodness - I was out of them, and it's hard to stock up on meat for the freezer without them.

I should bookmark this picture and refer to it when I get emails questioning my purchases. Some weeks, if I can't find any veggies at a good price, I don't buy any. My family does eat vegetables, almost every meal, even when I don't buy them for a week. I understand the concept of stocking up looks odd to people who don't shop that way, and why they are concerned about my family's health, but I always have veggies in the pantry or freezer.

Shop 'n Save
I wasn't impressed with what Shop 'n Save was advertising this week and hadn't planned on shopping there, but I did want to pick up some Tyson Crispy Chicken - I love the product for a quick meal. But, when I found Red Gold Tomatoes and Froot Loops on sale, I cobbled together a bigger shopping trip. I take don't take all of my coupons with me when I shop. I only take the coupons I'm going to use, a few high value coupons, a few family favorites, and any free product coupons with me. I usually don't put together a very good shopping trip on the fly, but this week it worked.Before coupons & sales: $74.75

Compared to my other shopping trips, this trip doesn't look like very much for a lot more money. I'm happy though, I picked up family favorites: blackberries for my husband, International Delight for me, Texas Toast for my son, and Breyers for all. Before Coupons & Sales: $49.58

Great job. It really does seems to be too good to be true. It surprises me week after week too.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really got some nice fruits and vegetables for cheap!!
ReplyDeleteA slow week for me at Walgreens and the groceries. All I got was 3 Ecotrin, 2 floss, 8 Glade candles, blackberries, Tostitos and a couple things at Target. But its good to take a week off now and then.
ReplyDeleteJeri always does a great job on her shopping!
CJ - I keep thinking I'll take a week off from shopping, but the deals are too good to pass up.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! My goal is to start keeping track, too, with the new year! Kelly
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly. Keeping track of my savings and then posting my picutres keep me from making all kinds of spure of the moment purchases.
