some more great deals today!
well, this is the first week of grocery shopping where i wasn't stressed out about staying under my $50 a week budget! there were so many great deals again this week, but once i got to HEB, i found everything on my lists from the other stores for about the same prices, plus i decided there were a few things i didn't really need and that gave me more wiggle room to stock up on capri sun!!!
HEB had capri sun 10 packs on their 5/$5 sale!!! this is one item i have been dying to get a great coupon on or have a great sale on so that i could stock up. we use 3 a day for lunches at least 4 days a week, so that's 12 a week. and...that's if the kids don't get into them when at home!!! so i decided to take advantage of this sale and stocked up on 15 boxes!!! they were 5/$5 WITH a $10 purchase. i just happened to pick up enough stuff to divide into 3 different transactions. believe it or not...i actually did not use any coupons this trip!
all together i spent $48.82 and i got:
15 boxes of capri sun
a loaf of bread
a bag of pretzels
5 boxes of trash bags
a tray of chicken legs
a gallon of milk
2 frozen apple juices
a new notebook to keep my lists in
2 packs of pork chops
2 packs of sausage
and this week was a great money making week for walgreens!
i did 2 transactions:
#1
2 triaminic thin strips 2/$10
2 theraflu 2/$10
1 stay free $1.99
scrunci headbands $2
a drink $1
1 roll of wrapping paper $1.99
subtotal: $26.98
after coupons and rr's, my oop was $3.53!
got $5, $3, $2, $2 and $5 for spending more than $25 before coupons in rr's ($17 total)
then i went to another wags looking for all the stuff on my list for transaction #2, but they were out of 2 things, so i ended up with:
a charging station for all of our ipods (been wanting one!) $9.99
1 pack of stayfree $1.99
1 touch of grey for men (i'll use it on me!) $6.99
1 neutragena shave cream $4.99
4 candy cane pens for teacher's gift baskets $1
scrunci hair pins $2
MY SUNDAY PAPER FOR THE COUPONS! $1.75
subtotal: $26.96
after coupons and rr's $7.36 oop
got $2, $2, $7, $5, and $5 another one for spending over $25 before coupons ($21total!)
after rolling a few into transaction #2, i have $33 in rr's left to spend!!!
only a few more weeks and i'm going to be TRYING to knock my budget down to $30 a week for our family of 5. i'm thinking of doing january with $40 and then down to $30 in febuary. we'll see!!!
