Harris Teeter $6.30
I got six boxes of pasta, four packages of biscuits, 2 tubes of Crest, 3 packages of Coleman Sausage, and 6 Yakisoba Noodles for free. I paid $0.24 each for the raviolis. The Johnsville Flame Grilled Chicken was shelf priced at $5.99 each so it was $11.98 less $6.00 of doubled coupons so it was $5.98 for the two bags. I got back a $2 catalina which I got to use on my next transaction. I also got to turn in the receipt for $3 back from Ibotta.

I got free Mueller's pasta, Barilla Ready Pasta, Naked Juice, Crest Toothpaste, Yakisoba Noodles, and Welch's Fruit Rolls. The four boxes of cereal was my only purchase. My evic price on the Welch's Fruit Rolls didn't come off so I had to go to customer service and they gave me the difference off and nothing free :(

My husband did this one and got everything free except tax. The cashier was pretty impressed with his transaction and that there was a man standing there were coupons.
Aldi $23.53
I went to Aldi and used my first $5 off $30 purchase from the new Aldi opening but I had to return some disgusting potatoes that I got right before Thanksgiving so they gave me an addition $3.06 cash back and a new bag of potatoes. My son sat in the cart and added all of the items that I was going to get and kept me on track so that I had almost exactly $30 in my cart.

I did one transaction with the Johnsonville Chicken which was $6.20 and the Ibotta was back in my rebates so I got $3 back. The second transaction included free Barilla Ready Pasta, Crest toothpaste, Luck's Beans, Yakisoba Noodles, Tetley Tea, and Glutino Lemon Cookies from clearance bin. I bought the Quaker Oatmeal for $0.97 each and the Advil for $0.99 each so I thought that I had enough to use my $2 catalina but I didn't so I asked the cashier to hold one so I went to grab the Finish for $2.79 so I could use the catalina which doubled. I put in the rebate for $2 for the Advil on Ibotta.

I don't think that I did as great on making a lot of things at home because I was at the store a lot over the last few weeks but with all these supplies, I am bound to get better. I made rolls and cinnamon rolls mostly but we enjoyed the things that I did make like the lasagna the other night for dinner. I am hoping that all this preparation means that I will be out of the store for a little bit but you just never can tell!!! Also now that it is cold, hoping for lots of baking to heat up the house and our stomaches.
Hope that you are having a good month and can't wait to hear about it!!

That's incredible! If I lived near you, I'd PAY you to do my grocery shopping and I'd probably still end up spending less than I spend now, LOL.
ReplyDeleteSo you guys get taxed on groceries in NOVA? We only pay tax on ready-to-eat foods, and some snacks if I recall properly.
Probably staying out of the stores would be a good thing to lowering anyone's budget but I am sure that you would be able to get the deals here too. There is always room to be more frugal!!
DeleteWe do get two different taxes and some things aren't taxed and other things are. I don't totally understand the logic but there is a 2.5% tax and a 6.0% tax on the bottom of every receipt. Some of the times there are different things written in to each which add up to the total tax. I was told that there was a higher tax on things that weren't essential or maybe things that didn't qualify for food stamps. I know that my $0.12 transaction said that $0.06 was in each category but I don't know which items went in each because on the yeast transactions, it doesn't list of the two different taxes. I just know that I am going to have to pay it either way so free here still costs money ;)
