My Crazy Expensive Farm Fresh Trip 08/04

by Dana Zeliff on August 4, 20102010-08-04
in Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, My Shopping Trip

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I spent A LOT of money in Farm Fresh today.  I saved a decent amount, but my total was much higher than I’m used to.  There was a ton of markdowns at the front of the Mt. Pleasant store.  Baby items and vitamins seemed to be the bulk of the deals.  I couldn’t resist the Java Delight Creme Brulee Coffee for $2.45, no coupon.  Derrick will be happy, so that’s what counts!

See my matchups HERE

Milk
Melon $1.50
Chips $2.50
Perdue Roaster Chicken $5.56
Java Delight Coffee $2.45 (markdown)
Pinto Beans for Freezer cooking day $4.94 (yikes!)
Creta Farm Deli Ham $0.33
Dentyne Gum FREE
2 Pepperidge Farm Cookies $0.49 and $0.79
4 Snack Pack $0.38 each
Smuckers and Jiff $2.50 for both
All Detergent $1.99
Snuggle fabric Softener FREE
2 Activia Dessert Yogurt FREE
6 Yoplait Cups $0.37 each

Total Paid: $31.50
Total Saved $21.71

Only 42% savings-even when I spend a lot I like my total saved to be higher than my total spent.  Sadly, not today!

*~*Ann just let me know about a *HOT* $1/1 Pepperidge Farm Cookie coupon making your cookies FREE today!  Where were you an hour ago Ann? 🙂

How did you do?

    Sorry Dana!!! I was at the store shopping and getting my free cookies!!!!! My kids were digging into them before I could even get the bags sat down. I also got free Oreos from the Facebook coupon B1G! on Nabisco (only available on the 1st Monday of the month) and Free Chips Ahoy from the All You Magazine. I told my girls they couldn't eat any cookies until they told me which one cost more – they all thought the Oreos were!!

    Sometimes you just need to take a break from couponing. Shopping with a friend makes it more fun. Glad to learn the Haygood location is a good FF to shop at.

    You had a great trip! Loved the cheap All and free Snuggle!
