Grocery deals...

Went shopping without Frank IV since he is still in Virginia - they are on route to SC as I type. We have a big Monday ahead of the "first"day of the school year. Uniforms are starting and I have big bag of school supplies ready to take in. Plus I had a little something for his teachers but I have to find it. Lol. All this buying on sale has me desperately needing more space. I REALLY NEED a big freezer.

Bi-Lo. Total Value: $118.64. TOP $52.77. Total Savings $67.71 or 57%. Total Coupons: $14.90. Was supposed to be a free Shout spray but I do not see it in receipt plus no bag credit...I did get Kleenex for $.81 a box for big boxes and anti-viral boxes. Spent $.14 on butter quarters and $.11 on cat treats (probably for church although one of neighbor cats likes Frank IV).

Publix. Honestly I needed $52 to get to me to the $150 for Kraft rebate. Then I forgot my list at home and shopped without a list. Bad, very bad Blakely but there were lots of good stuff on sale! And I did get the rest of my Kraft rebate items so I just have to mail off to get my $30 in Publix gift cards.

Total Value: $243.67. TOP: $127.36. Total Savings: $120.03 or 49%. Total Coupons: $37.34. Free: Kraft BBQ Sauce and Honey bunches of oats cereal. I got Kraft cheese for $.66 each, crayons 24 ct $.33/each, elmer's glue $.33 each, Chex mix for $.67 bag, Excedrin Migraine $1.00 for 24 count. And why I need a big freezer Tyson fajita kits were $4.99 (regular $7.99) and I have a $1.00 off coupon. Two bags makes a great EASY dinner when I add black beans to it. Yum!

Totals: Value: $362.31. TOP: $180.13. Total Savings: $187.84 or 52%. Total Coupons: $52.24.

Grocery Store Trips June 8-14

I had an awesome trip to Bi-Lo (they had a bunch of B1G1) where I saved 61%! Finally I have a trip where I pay less than 50%. I got $122.18 worth of groceries for $47.45 (before tax) . I bought batteries, lunch meat, All free and clear laundry detergent, spray and wash, cleaners, tomatos, apple slices, visine, excedrin, cards, Uno pizza, strawberries, Country Time lemonade, rice, heinz ketchup, Heinz 57, Laudry marinade (got Bi-Lo free on both of these as well), lots of full bags. Plus they were really nice about my coupons. Depending on the sales this week I may go to Bi-Lo first instead of Publix.

Unlike the Publix on Two Notch which was not nice about coupons, all of which were perfectly legitimate and I was not even buying any type of large amounts of anything. After that, all my coupons scanned (so there!) but I will not be going back to that Publix except for quick emergency items. I did save 40% at Publix which was good considering I bought several non sale, non coupon items and dog food.

The Publix on Forest Drive never gives me any hassles about coupons and the lay out is much nicer. I will just drive further to get to them.

And for a change I went to Food Lion for a couple of items cheese, Pepsi 12 packs, Marie Callender and I needed a clorox bleach pen for laundry that day. I saved 46% with the sales and two coupons. Basically I got 4 Kraft cheese $1.50 a chunck (with 1 $.50 coupon) a Marie Callendar steamer ($2.00 with $.75 coupon = $1.25 for nice frozen meal) , 4 Pepsi brand 12 packs, Clorox pen. After looking at my receipt closely they over charged on the drinks but it was still a pretty good deal but that would have put me at about 50% probably.

I used $51.15 in coupons and the rest were advertised savings!
