It was the last day of Super Doubles and I had to figure out what was left that I needed. Sadly, I think that I might have over reacted to the chance of super doubles leaving this month!!! My biggest total by far had me wishing that I had a little more self control. When I got home and added all my receipts from Harris Teeter from this week, I had a total of $673.93 in food and I only spent $81.14 (including this trip). Since that is what most people spend in one trip to the store, I am putting it in perspective because I did save $592.79 which was an 88% savings. Plus I still have $48.20 left for the rest of the month so I should be able to come under budget (crossing my fingers).
I grabbed the juice which I didn't even know was on sale until I looked over some of the pictures of what other people got. They were B2G3 free and there were $1/2 coupons so they ended up being $2.30 for five bottles!! The second coupon had to be overridden by the manager but there wasn't any issues with them doing it. I wish they had more Apple Juice but they only had three left so I got two other ones.
I used a rain check to get three more Pull-ups (just in case since we are only using them at night). I couldn't pass up only $2.99 per pack (normally $11.25) because I know that I won't get that again anywhere so better to have them and not need them. I am hoping for a closet full when he sleeps through the night dry but I am not raising my hopes that high yet.
I got free Kashi Granola bars and McCain Purely Potatoes. I splurged and got a Birds Eye Voila Chicken Parm meal for $1.85 which is great to have if my husband needs a quick meal. My husband has also wanted to get some more crackers so I got the Jingos for $0.99 which are good if you haven't tried them yet. I also got the pourable Splenda for $0.89 for me. The True Lemon is a whole family favorite so my mother and mother in law asked me to pick up a few since they were only $0.75 per box.
Then my favorite was the Cabot cheese for $0.50 each and a big thanks to a reader to let me know where to find that coupon!! I stocked up and we are going to have lots of cheesey meals going forward!!! Thanks for the heads up on coupon straight from the company website!!! Make me a little sad that I bought the Helluva Good with my rain check early on in the week but we will have cheese now for months!!! It will all get used in this house because we love our cheese!!
Total OOP $20.65
Total Saving $69.85 + 12.78 (rain check)= $82.63
oh yay! So glad you found the coupon for the cheese! Love that we can share tips!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYup!! I searched and searched because for some reason my computer did not want to load it. I finally got it and I was super happy I put in the effort to find it because cheese at that price is unheard of. We have already eaten one of them :) YUM!!
