Friday Finale!

This week was a good week for me. I was running low on cereal and meat, but we seem to be doing well on everything else. Here is the run down…

Publix – I spent $10.53 and saved $33.20. Some notable mentions are free milk with 3 boxes of cereal ($1.99x3= $5.97 – (3)$1 = $2.97 for three boxes and milk. I am still using the free rotisserie chicken coupons we got at the Braves game (a $7.39 value).

Kroger – I spent $14.87 and saved $17.35. Lately, it seems that I am only going to Kroger for the marked down meats. My store marks down meats in the morning that they want to clear away quickly. Sometimes it is because it is about to expire or they just have too much. Notiable mentions are… $0.50 packs of BallPark Angus Franks (was $4.97 ea), filet mignon $3.51 (was $8.79), and 96% lean ground beef $3.95 (was $6.60).

Friday Finale!

Ok, I haven't been to the grocery store for several weeks (thanks to stockpiles), but I did have to break down and go. Looking at the ads, Publix seemed like the place to be. So off I went..

I spent $28.73 and saved $64.44. Amazing, right? It got me excited about shopping again. It was a pleasant trip. I got in my favorite cashier's line and we chatted. But, one bad thing she told me was that Publix is going with a nationwide rule that a store is not a competitor unless it is less than 8 miles away (why that exact distance, I don't know). So, now I cannot use my Target or FoodLion coupons anymore. Boo! I missed out on about $4.00 in savings on this trip thanks to that.

At Kroger, I bought some meat and apples that were marked down (freeze it when you get home, and it's still good). I spent $14.54 and saved $17.47. Yay!

I think I will swing by CVS on my way to my daughter's daycare. Will keep you posted~
