Giant Shopping Trip 2/13

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
