Walgreens
I did four transactions at Walgreens and rolled my Register Rewards from previous weeks. My picture is short a Sunday paper and a piece of Halloween chocolate. The newspaper (minus the coupons) went straight into the recycling bin and the chocolate..... well we all know where that went.Before sales & coupons: $67.22

Target
I loved this deal - a free single serve pizza with the purchase of two DiGirono's. Not only did I have a coupon for the DiGiorno, but also a $5 Target Giftcard from a few weeks ago.Before sales & coupons: $14.37

Schnucks
I had $12 in Catalina coupons expiring last Sunday and there was nothing in the Schnuck ad I needed. I was out of burger and was wanting to try a recipe with sesame oil, so that is what I spent my Catalinas on. Before sales & coupons: $14.53

Splurge Funds: $71.62
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.
I stumbled onto the best deal last night at PetsMart - Purina One dog food bags (not the trial size pouches) on clearance for $2 and I had $2 coupons. So I got 3 bags for free and will donate them to the Bi State Pet Food Pantry. I love unexpected freebies, especially when I can pass the items along to people (and pets!) in need :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, CJ! Looks like I need to make a trip to PetsMart.
ReplyDeleteJeri - Not sure if it's every PetsMart or just Brentwood. I was hoping the Purina One cat food would be on clearance too but it wasnt.
