Grocery Deals 02-01

To start off...sorry these pictures are so dark. They never look this dark when I upload them onto the computer, yet when I post them I feel they look so much darker than I thought! In the future I'll try to compensate for that. 

Moving on.

Yesterday was grocery day! I went to uhhh....six stores. well...seven if you count the second walgreens trip. :) 

Does the average person have time for this....no. Do I have time for this normally...absolutely not. But as you know, I'm still in waiting for a regular job (I was supposed to start tomorrow at Austintown, as a sub teacher. However due to the ice-capades coming to town, orientation will be put off till next week) 

So as it is, I had plenty of time to plan and plenty of time to shop. And I got some smokin deals!

Walgreens!

See the two "Arnicare" gells on the left below the cottonelle? 

They were a money maker this week.

As in, they were priced at 5.99 and you received 6.00 in walgreens bucks at the register. So in other words free. However there is a $2/1 printable coupon for the product as well. So you pay 4 dollars and get 6 back. 

Money Maker. 

I bought two of these, so I paid 8 dollars out of pocket and got 10 back. 

Cottonelle was on sale for 4 dollars and I had a .50 coupon so I paid 3.50 for 12 rolls

Tostitos chips were two dollars a bag, I had a coupon for 1.00 off two. So 1.50 each.

The other tortilla chips were in the discount bin for .60 a piece

Edy's ice cream was on sale for 3.00, originally 6.00. 

Smart balance on sale for 2.00 a piece, I had a dollar off coupon for two ($1/2 printable) so I paid 1.50 each. 

Jello pudding on sale .59 cents a piece, I had a .55 off 3 coupon ($0.55/3 printable) so .40 a piece

Nestle butter finger candies on sale .39 a piece, I had a dollar off two coupon ($1/2 printable) so they were FREE

I used the money I got back from the arnicare deals to pay for most of this. 

So all in all I paid 11.53 out of pocket and according to my receipts I saved 43.45 dollars.

So I hope you weren't too bored by this post. I just wanted to share my great shopping trip yesterday with you! I came home feeling very accomplished. I'll wont have to go shopping for other than the essentials for several more weeks. :) 

Also, I bought this cupcake holder for 5 dollars at wal-mart. It's my "present" from Greg for valentines day ;) 

I loved it!!

Now to help with the boring-ness of the post. Here is my cute puppy.

Tug of war with was is left of mr.frog

This little easter duck I got from goodwill was her favorite...for about a week before she ripped it open. (that wouldn't be a problem, but she eats the stuffing. So to prevent a vet bill of having to get her stomach pumped we just bight the bullet and buy more cheap toys)


Waiting for me throw it of course. She's actually pretty good a "fetch" so far! She loves to chase her toys.

Hope you all are surviving the snow. My orientation for sub teaching was supposed to be today but will now be held off till next week. I guess I'll just try to enjoy another week off!

Love,
