My Grocery Deals (5/3 - 5/16)

Ok, I have to be honest, I bought this stuff last Thursday. Ray's sale was only Wed-Sat and I had to go to Dillons to pick up Seth's dry cleaning (suit) anyway, so I decided to go ahead and do my grocery shopping for this week, then.


Bought at Ray's:

$0.88 Dole head lettuce

3 x $1.33 Johnsonville Smoked Brats (on sale for $1.88! I check the price at Dillons, where they were also on sale, and they were charging $3.50!!! Seth's been wanting brats and these are really good - good enough that even I will eat them. I used 3 $0.55/1 coupons. Saved $1.65.)

Bought at Dillons:

4 x $1.00 canned fruit

5 x $0.98 Kroger peanut butter (we were completely out and since Breck is basically made of peanut butter, he would have definitely been going through pb withdrawals.)

$0.49 Warm Delights (on "manager special" for $1.49, used $0.50/1 coupon, doubled to $1.00/1, had a Cellfire e-coupon for $0.50/1 that should have been deducted but wasn't - I contacted their customer service and now I have to wait 3-4 days before someone gets back to me!)

$1.49 10lb potatoes (on "manager special")

$0.99 dozen large eggs

$2.99 gallon 2% milk (the only thing I bought that wasn't on sale, but we were completely out)

-$0.10 discount for using my own bags

Total before coupons: $22.38
Total after coupons: $19.63 (not very good coupon savings)
Tax: $1.60
Total paid: $21.23

carryover from previous 2-week budget: $1.64
+ current 2-week $40 budget = $41.64 beginning balance.

(Grocery budget remaining for 5/3 - 5/16: $20.41)
