I spent $13.75 today. Everything I bought was on sale at Walgreens, but they didn't have everything I went for so I went to Wal-Mart and did a price match. Here's my list.
(2) Nature Valley Granola bars $1.50 each
(1) Big Red Soda (because I took the kids with me) $1.49
(2) Remmel mascara $1.79 each
(2) Diet Coke (20 oz) $.50 each
(2) Listerine Mouthwash $2.99 each
(2) Zotz candy strips. $.50 each. I buy these as filler items. I had 2 $8 register rewards, but because I had used a coupon on everything else I bought except the Big Red Soda I needed to buy something else to be able to use another coupon. Walgreens will only let you use 1 coupon per item even if they are register rewards and not for a specific item. So by buying the $.50 cent candy I was able to use my $8 register reward.
(2) Degree Clinical strength deodorant $2.00 each
(1) Dove Clinical Strength deodarant $3.00
(3) Crackerfuls $1.00 each
My total was $13.75, which may not add up because of the register rewards I used and that I had a toy in there that I didn't include in my list but used part of the register reward for that, but this is the real money I spent on these items. I also got register rewards to use next time so that is a bonus for next time.
June 2
So between yesterday and today I spent about $13.00 on misc ( mostly junk food) groceries.
June 6, 2011
I spent $17.26 at Walgreens this week. I got
4(100 ct) Ziploc sandwich bags. $2.00 (not an awesome deal but a good deal) I know you can get 500 at Costco for about $8.00.
2 (200 sq ft) Glad Cling wrap $1.49 each
2 Sobe Life waters $.99 with a $.99 rr each for next time
4 (78 ct) Fixodent Denture tablets. This is a really good deal on these. They were $3.99 and there is a $2.00 off 1 coupon in yesterdays paper. Making the final cost $1.99
2 cans of tuna $.19 each
Black Pepper. $1.59 I needed to get up over $16 on my first transaction so I could use my last 2 $8 rr before they expired and we were out of pepper so probably not a good deal, but I needed to spend a couple more dollars to get everything else free.
4 Covergirl eyeshadows $1.61 each
7 zotz between the 2 transactions to get my total up over the tax value because coupons can't be applied to sales tax on the first transaction and to add items to my second transaction so I could use my rr.
I did 2 transaction and used $18 in rr. For a total of $17.26
My total for the month at this point is $44.01. I am going to do some real grocery shopping in the next day or two since you are probably wondering what we are eating. We have only eaten out once during the last week though so we are surviving on what I have at the house.
I went to Smith's last week to do some "regular" grocery shopping. I did a menu for the week and went and picked up some fresh items and some sale items. I spent $51.93. Bringing my total for the month to $95.94
I got:
2 free boxes of pasta
Tortillas
2 V8 Fusions
1 6 roll Brawny paper towell
1 12 db roll Quilted Northern TP
1 lb margarine
2 coppertone spray sunblocks
2 gallons milk
2 dz eggs
2 lbs strawberry
apples
loaf of bread
fresh mushrooms
squash
4 packages of lean pockets
saltines
4 Lunchables
I saved 47% which I don't think is too bad considering the produce, milk, and bread that I bought. I have a few small reciepts to add to this, but I think I am doing pretty good so far. My husband has been out of town so we have eaten out several times this week so I haven't used most of the stuff I bought for my menu. I have got to start cooking again.
