Saved 73% This Week

The stars aligned at Shop 'n Save this week. I wish Thursday wouldn't have been so HOT, or I would have gone back for more. I admire the people who told me they made multiple trips to Shop 'n Save in this heat.

Shop 'n Save
The deals were fantastic this week. I shopped on Thursday, so not only did I take advantage of the $10 off $50 Thursday, but used a $5 off $50 coupon from the Entertainment book, and a $5 Catalina from last week's Kraft deal. I had coupons for free 20 oz. Cokes from My Coke Rewards and coupons for free Hormel Bacon bits wyb bagged salad. The best part is I received a $10 Catalina coupon for my Keebler purchase. I got paid to shop!

Before sales & coupons: $69.16
Spent: $4.47
Saved: $64.49 for a 94% savings

This purchase was from last Sunday. I paid $11 after coupons and got back a $10 Catalina.

I turned around with the next transaction and purchased Eckert's peaches with the Catalina I had just received. Paid - 12 cents for this transaction.

Splurge Funds: $285.57

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. I use it for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.

  3. I haven't checked in a while Jeri but your splurge fun is really creeping up there. When are you going to get that freezer?

  4. I wish I had bought more of the cinnabon cereal. I bought 1 box to see if my kids liked it first and they ate the whole box in 1 day. I guess i should have monitored that a little better!

    Another $1 coupon in this week's Parade magazine so hopefully thye go on sale again this week!

  5. Thanks, ArmyMom

    Hi Lynda - I'm going to get the freeze this weekend. If we can find the time.

    Hi Marcella - Cinnabons have been snarfed down at my house too. Thank goodness school starts next week. My teen has been a non-stop eating machine. I hope this growth spurt is up and not out.

  6. I finally got to the grocery today, my first trip in over a week, and I only got a few things. I forgot to use my $5 catalina at Dierbergs but I did get free cat litter and 2 free Sobes teas. The grocery ads havent had much to attract me the past few weeks :(

  7. Hi CJ - I hate that when I miss using a Cat or RR. It can happen to me when the deals aren't great and I get out of the habit of shopping at a store every week.
