MY GROCERY BARGAINS THIS WEEK! (4/27)

by Sherri on April 28, 2009This post may contain an affiliate link. Read my Disclosure Policy here

Here is my grocery picture and receipt for this week. Hopefully to encourage you all a little more that it is possible and very fun to spend less and get lots more at the grocery store. I was well below my $100 weekly budget this week. But, I did go over last week by about $35-$40 since I had my brother and niece visiting for 4 days. And I do have A LOT of chicken stockpiled from when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago.

As I have mentioned before, I have been a member of The Grocery Game since January and love the convenience of them matching up the sale items for me. You can become a member too and get a 4 week trial for free to see how you like it.

Please use swchenery@hotmail.com as a referral please.

If it’s working for you, then it’s only $10 every 8 weeks ($1.25 per week, which I save easily in groceries by using the game). I just print out the new grocery list on Sunday’s when they are updated each week and pull the coupons listed with the items and head off.

HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Here’s what I got today for

Out of Pocket- $48.42

Saved – $68.68 (59 %)

37 items

Plus got a coupon for free milk on my next visit.

2 bunches of bananas

3 lbs of apples

MY WALGREENS BARGAINS

I did my Walgreens bargain shopping today too. They have lots of sun stuff this week:)

I did 3 separate transaction to get the best prices I could think of quickly. Most stores do not have a problem doing this if you just ask ahead of time and there is not a long line behind you.

I spend $18.31 total and have $4 in Register Rewards for my next visit.

I saved $45.22. Talk about fun!! That’s 71% SAVINGS!!

Trans #1

4 bags of Hersheys Bliss (50% off Candy) $8.00, Get $5 Rebate from Easy Saver Rebates#25

1 chapstick 100% naturals – $1.99, Got $2RR

1 Scrunchi elastics 18 ct. – $2.00, Got $2RR

1 Fiber Choice, 10 ct – $2.49, Got $2.50RR

1 Mentos Gum

Total $14.97

Trans #2

4 Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion , on sale $2.84

used 2-$1 coupons

used 1-$1.25 coupons

+2 Degree Deoderants , clearanced at $1.29

used 2-.75 coupons

Used $2.50 RR from Trans #1

Got $6 in Register Rewards for buying the lotion and deoderant for next transaction.

Total $6.69

Just a note: I was not able to use the other $2 RR coupons I got above because the # of coupons and RR coupons you have cannot exceed the # of items you buy in a transaction. That is why I still have 2-$2RR for my next visit (next week for sure)

Trans #3

2 Hefty Zip lock Freezer bags BOGO- $3.29

4 Walgreens Brand Aluminum Foil – .59/each with in-store ad coupon

2 Walgreens Big Roll Toilet Paper – 2/$1

Used $6 RR coupon from trans #2.

Total $1.65

So all said, my total out of pocket today will be $18.31 after the $5 Rebate that will be here in a couple of weeks. And I have enough aluminum foil and lotion to last me the rest of the year!:)

You are able to submit your receipt at Walgreens website pretty much right away and then request your money at the end of the month. You are only able to submit for rebates once a month, so your want to save and return later to request any rebates.

I’l love to hear from you about your Walgreens shopping trip.

MY GROCERY BARGAINS THIS WEEK!

by Sherri on April 13, 2009This post may contain an affiliate link. Read my Disclosure Policy here

I spent $69.42 in total
I saved $64.22 for 52 items!!!

As kind of an encouragement to all of you getting started (and those of you seasoned bargain hunters), I thought I would start sharing my own bargains of each week. I think I did pretty good this week (see above). I am trying very hard to stay true to spending less than $100 a week on groceries. Considering a year ago I was spending close to $200 a week, I am lovin this challenge and the extra $$$ in our pockets for other things.

I have been a member of The Grocery Game since January and love the convenience of them matching up the sale items for me. You can become a member too and get a 4 week trial for free to see how you like it. Please use swchenery@hotmail.com as a referral please.

If it’s working for you, then it’s only $10 every 8 weeks ($1.25 per week, which I save easily in groceries by using the game). I just print out the new grocery list on Sunday’s when they are updated each week and pull the coupons listed with the items and head off. I do also go to Market Basket (another local store in my town) for other staples because it is much cheaper than Shaw’s, in my opinion, on fruits and veggies, bread, eggs, and other regular items I need that aren’t on sale at Shaw’s.

The idea behind all of this is to stockpile items that are at rock bottom price and start basically shopping from your own cabinets much more. You are buying your items for 50% or more off regular price when you do this. I love it!

So here is a picture of my shopping this morning at Shaw’s. I actually don’t have to go to Market Basket this week at all so I am well below my $100 goal. Yippee!

Please leave me a comment of your bargains this week. I would love to hear what you snag!

I snagged:

2 – gallons of milk

2 – 64 oz bottles of Adam & Eve Apple Juice

3- Family packs of Boneless Chicken breasts (to separate and freeze in meal size portions)

1- package of ground turkey

1- package of hamburger

1- package of sweet italian sausage

10 boxes of Near East rice pilaf and couscous

5 cans of Bumblebee tuna

1 can of baked beans

8 cans of Del Monte Veggies
