We were almost out of lunch meat which is my go to meal for my husband's lunch. I didn't have enough to even make it through the week!!! UGH!!! What is a girl to do? Go to Giant to spend my free $10 monthly credit and the rest of my gift card before I had to volunteer at my son's school. Mission: lunch meat!!!
First, I grabbed two Smart Balance spreadable butter which was on sale for $2.10 (more than I normally pay but good deal with the free credit). I grabbed 8 packages of ham and one package of turkey first. There was a $1 meat sticker on Bob Evans Sausage which I put in the cart in case I had extra money still left. I found the Perfect Portion oatmeal on the end of an aisle so I searched for the coupons which I found and put two into the shopping cart. I was running low on time so I decided to add the sausage to the cart to go over the needed total after coupons.
First, my $10 credit came off, then I handed over my coupons which came off, and then I had her pull the meat coupon. My total was only $1.61 after that. I used my remaining gift card that I got for participating in the online community. The total after all of those payments was only $0.12. I was super glad that my fast thinking and fast planning ended up with a bunch of things that we needed for a great savings.
Total OOP $1.61 (Total Out of Budget $0.12)
Total Savings $25.14
Good job!
