Week 33

There are so many good sales this week, and we are out of, like, all groceries, so screw the budget! We also had to hit Aldi for some staples. Spent about 16 at Aldi.


County Market
bananas at 39 cents a pound, and a bag of apples at 1.88
Diapers at 9.99

2 12-double roll packs of Quilted Northern
- 2 store coupons making them 4.69 = 9.38
- 2 coupons x 1.00 = -2.00
= 7.38 (that's 24 double rolls, at about 31 cents per roll. great price!)

3 Hormel refrigerated entrees x 6.99 = 20.97
- 3 store coupons making them 3.99 = - 9.00
- 3 coupons x 1.00 = -3.00
= 8.97

6 4-packs of fruit cups x 1.89 = 11.34
- store coupons making them .99 = -5.40
= 5.94

2 16-oz cottage cheese x 1.99 = 3.98
- store coupons making them .99 = -2.00
= 1.98

1.5 pounds deli ham = 8.93

2 boxes saltines x .79 = 1.58

Sugar = .99

Out of pocket = 46.24
Savings = 38.72

Meijer



I made 3 trips to Meijer. I only got pictures of two of them. But, it was mostly more of the same. Below is all 3 trips combined into 1 list. I have a lot of soup now.

kiwi, lettuce, peppers, coffee, milk, etc
8 Chicken Voila x 2.99 = 23.92
- 4 store coupons for 1.00 off 2 = -4.00
= 19.92
4 Sara Lee cheesecake x 5.99 = 23.96
- 23.96 (free cheesecake when you buy 2 Voila!)
=FREE

3 Kraft shreds x 1.88 = 5.64 (and earned 1 on my next trip)

6 Pepperidge Farms fancy wheat bread x 2.49 = 14.94
20 cans Campbell's cream of chicken soup x .65 = 13.00
- 4 store coupons for 1.00 when you buy 4 = -4.00
10 cans Campbell's kids soups x .99 = 9.90
- 2 store coupons for 1.00 when you buy 4 = -2.00
= 31.84
Earned 30 dollars towards next purchases!
Meijer has a promotion this week where if you buy a P Farms bread and 5 cans of Campbell's condensed soup, you get 5.00 towards your next order. You are only allowed to do 1 deal per transaction, so I split my transactions up so that I paid for the next order with the 5 I just earned. So really, I paid about 7 dollars out of pocket for all of that- for the first purchase, then the tax on each subsequent one.)

4 Marie Callendar's Pasta al Dente x 1.99 = 7.96
- 1 store coupon x 1.00 = -1.00
- 2 coupons x 1.00 = -2.00
= 4.96 (these things are awesome, by the way. i highly recommend the pesto one.)

(also got a great deal on cat food, but that doesn't count towards the weekly spending or savings- budgeted differently).

Out of pocket = 42.70
Savings = 103.85

Weekly savings total: 146.57
YTD spending total: 1643.09
