My $50 Budget - Saved 80% This Week

It's been quite awhile since I've had a big trip to Shop 'n Save.  I had six $5 off $50 coupon from the Entertainment book expiring the first of next month, and didn't want to miss the last $10 off $50 Thursday before they expired.  I only ended up with four trips through the store and I gave away my last two $5 off $50 to other shoppers.  One lady was very appreciative.  I think the other thought I was a bit crazy.

Shop 'n Save

Before Sales & coupons: $232.82

    Not as good as you for sure :) But I did get $21 off my Shop N Save bill...was a 44% savings. We were on a tight budget this week, so there wasn't room to buy things unless we absolutely needed them, or to stock up on anything. Just the bare necessities. Also saved my $10 at Sappington, so it was a good Thursday!

    I was sick so I didn't go to SNS yesterday. Today, however, I did get free gluten free pasta at Whole Foods so that's something right?

    I just cherry picked as usual. $10 worth for free using coupons and gift card at Target. Free oatmeal at SNS. Will stop at SNS tonight for Ore Ida and at Schnucks for ground beef.

    For those of you who still have $5 off $50 Shop 'n Save coupons from the 2011 Ent. Book, remember you can buy a S'nS gift card - a $50 card for $45 or like I did yesterday, a $100 card for $90 & then use the gift card to pay for your shopping order, & use another $5 off $50 E.B. coupon for your groceries. We will not be able to do this with the new 2012 Ent.Book - just the ones that expire Nov.1, 2011.

    I had 2 $10 off $50 transactions & 1 $5 Entertainment coupon. Retail was $179.53 & I spent $49.72! My biggest & best shopping trip yet! My daughter & two of her friends were with me & were in shock & awe when my one transaction I saved 84% :O) I missed out on a few items I wanted like the oatmeal, zatarans rice, & the pizzas but overall I am extremely excited & got 8 bottles of FREE Dr.Pepper 10! Woot!

    Great job Jeri and all...I'm super bummed because I had to skip my big SNS trip I had planned. I came down with stomach flu (along with my son )...all while DH away on biz trip. Ugh! I also have extra $5 off Enter Q's I wad planning to use. GRRRR. I will probably get a few GCs or trade anyone who wants one. Eve

    I didn't shop much this week - just stocked up on GF pasta at Trader Joe's. Now...last week was a big week for me!

    (by the way, the title on your Aldi picture is not right. It says Shop n Save again!) :)

    Hi All - Great shopping! I love hearing about what and where people shop.

    I hope all that are sick or have sick kids feel better soon.
