Shopping Trip

I went shopping today because I wanted to buy some chicken breasts that are on sale at Albertsons for $1.68/lb. (the sale ends tomorrow). I stopped at Walgreens, Target, and Albertsons. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...



$34.67...yes my total is a bit higher than normal, but that is because I bought 15 lbs. of chicken breasts. The chicken alone cost $25.20...so less than $10.00 for everything else!! I saved $150.28...a savings of 81%!! Oh, and I still have a $5.00 gift card from Target that I received today!!

Here's what I bought:

Albertsons:
15 lbs. of chicken breast
4 French's mustard
4 Tabasco Sauce
3 Steamfresh Veggies
4 Sunny D Juices

Walgreens:
2 Gillette Body Washes
2 Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaners

Target:
4 Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean
4 Carefree Pantiliners
3 Nivea Body Wash for Women
3 Dove Deodorants
6 gallons of water

I was down to no chicken in my freezer, so I REALLY needed it. I've been able to stock up on ground turkey (remember when it was on sale for $1.00/lb.), ground beef, and now chicken over the last few weeks. I'm hoping that I won't have to buy meat for at least 2 months...hold off until the next GREAT sale!

How are your stockpiles looking? I have enough meat and veggies to last a while, but my cereal stockpile is starting to dwindle...down to only 24 boxes. That might sound like a lot, but won't last a full month at our house. I'm hoping that I can find a good deal in the next couple of weeks, but if not at least I won't have to worry about buying meats, veggies, AND cereal like I would if I hadn't been stocking up on those items.

Sarah's Success

I received an email from Sarah earlier today, and was so encouraged by what she wrote. She has started getting serious about coupon shopping again, and she emailed me her spending for the first two weeks of May.

She Spent: $93.64

And Saved: $199.58 (That's a savings of 68%!!)

Keep in mind that this is for two weeks for a family of three!! Awesome job Sarah!!

She also emailed me this picture of her most recent trip to CVS:



She spent $3.98, and saved $41.31...91% savings!!!

Check out her precious munchkin in the picture!!

I am so encouraged when I see that other people are saving money!! Let me know how y'all are doing!!

Buy more, Save more, and Give more!!

May Spending (Week 2)

I have to say that since I started getting serious about saving money with coupons that I have so much fun when I go grocery shopping!! I used to dread going shopping because I knew that I would go to the store and spend a whole lot of money on what seemed like just a few bags of groceries. Now I leave the store with a lot more than I used to and for a fraction of the cost.

Here's my rundown of this week's grocery shopping (remember my grocery budget includes all cleaning supplies, toiletries, medicines, and food):

Spent: $51.07

Saved: $268.78 (That's a savings of 84%!!!)

I remember telling my husband a couple of months ago that I'd love to get our grocery expenses down to $50 a week, but that I didn't think it was possible with a family of five...I think I'm getting close to being there. Some weeks I am under $50, and others a little over...but I am just amazed at how much how our grocery budget has shrunk in just a few months time!!

How are all of you doing? Remember to start where you are and don't give up...any amount of savings is better than none at all!!

Kraft Coupons

I didn't check coupon websites over the weekend, so I was very surprised when I went to Target.com this morning to find a LOT of coupons for different Kraft products!! Most of these coupons are for a FREE item when you buy 2 or 3 other items. I did not print out all of these coupons, but the ones I did print out were all TARGET coupons...what does that mean? That means that we can combine manufacturer's coupons with these Target coupons to get additional savings!! And remember, Target will let you use coupons on products that you are going to be getting FREE as well. If you can find a sale, and combine it with manufacturer's coupons AND Target coupons you'll be getting items at rock bottom prices!! Go here if you want to see what coupons are available.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, so you can be on the lookout for sales at Target!! Let me know if you come across any good deals!!

Oscar Mayer Coupons (Deal Scenarios at HEB and Target)

Coupons.com has released a couple of new Oscar Mayer coupons.

$1/2 Oscar Mayer Lunchmeats

$1/2 Oscar Mayer Hotdogs

HEB is still running this meal deal:
Buy: Oscar Mayer Lunchmeat AND Kraft Cheese
GET FREE: HEB Potato Chips, Kool-Aid Singles, Mrs. Baird's Small White Bread, and Nabisco Barnum's Animal Crackers

If you buy TWO of HEB's meal deal, you could use the coupon for $1.00 off 2 lunchmeats.

Whenever HEB has this meal deal, I try to stock up...lunch meat/cheese/chips are items that we go through a lot, so any time I can find a good deal on these I buy a lot. Each meal deal will probably cost around $6.00...which sounds like a lot to me, but you have to remember that you are getting almost $6.00 worth of additional products for FREE!!

OR, you could use these coupons at Target:

Target.com currently has Target coupons that you could combine with the Oscar Mayer manufacturer's coupons to double up on savings.

Target coupon: FREE 7 oz. or larger Oscar Mayer Lunchmeat with purchase of 3 Oscar Mayer Lunchmeats

Target coupons: FREE 16 oz. Oscar Mayer all beef hotdogs with purchase of 3 Oscar Mayer all beef hotdogs.

I am not sure what Target has these priced at, but if you are interested in shopping at Target, this is how your deal scenario would work:

Buy 4 Oscar Mayer lunchmeats
-use 2 $1/2 Oscar Mayer lunchmeats coupons
-PLUS use FREE lunchmeats Target coupon

If you are interested in buying hot dogs, do the same deal as above, only use the hot dog coupons instead (of course :)

If you are interested in printing out the Target coupons go here, and the manufacturer's coupons, go here
