Today was not a good day for shopping.  Well, it was but I was way off my game.  I wasn’t thinking and bought the pop tarts at Harris Teeter instead of Farm Fresh (BIG mistake).  THEN I didn’t find my 2nd Gold Peak Tea coupon until I came home from shopping.  I figure my carelessness cost me about $2.50 today.  On the plus side, my husband has a ton of drinks for work now.  We also refill the empty Powerade bottles, so that should last us awhile.

I just have a picture of my shopping bags from Farm Fresh.  Most of my purchases were staying in the garage, so I didn’t want to unload them onto the table then have to carry everything back to the garage fridge.

9 Powerade = $9
10 Fuze = FREE
2 Simply Orange Juice = $2
2 Hanover Pretzel = $1

How did you do?

I’ve missed Harris Teeter Triples!  It was so nice to get a little bit extra for our coupons valued at $0.99 or less.  I was unable to get the kids moving fast enough this morning, so I didn’t make it to HT until 7:30 (after my oldest got on the bus).  There were several items already sold out, but I’m hopeful they will restock.  I want to get my hands on a few more of those free and cheap items.

I believe all my purchases are included in the matchups except for the Quaker Oatmeal Cookies and Quaker Stila.  My 03/25/12 RP came in the mail yesterday and included a $0.55 coupon (I think that was the value) for each product.

2 Tasters Choice instant = FREE
2 Franks Hot sauce = FREE
2 Ricola = FREE
2 Margaret Holmes = FREE
2 Silk almondmilk singles = FREE
1 Quaker Stila = FREE
1 Mardi Gras Napkins = FREE (had e-VIC coupon)
8 yoplait yogurt = $3
2 Blistex = $0.68
2 Dole Pineapple = $0.48
1 Haribo Gummy Bear = $0.39
1 Quaker Cookie = $0.35
2 Chex Mix – lg bags = $1.20 & $0.70 (1 e-VIC coupon)
1 Soft Scrub Gel = $1.15

Total Paid: $7.93
Total Saved: $39.89

I didn’t want much at Farm Fresh this week, so I picked up a few of the sale items plus milk and doritos. I have a nice little stockpile of juice pouches now so the kiddos should be happy.

Milk = $3.29
Doritos = $2.14
2 Velveeta Skillet = $0.58
2 Kraft Milkbite = $1
2 Rice Krispies = $1.98
1 Krave = $0.59
1 Crunchy Nut = $0.59
4 Propel = $2
4 Capri Sun = $5.47
Round up Charity donation = $0.95

Total Paid: $19
Total Saved: $21.29

I do plan to go back to Harris Teeter once or twice more to see what has been restocked.  I also need to pick up eVIC butter and bread.  Since I’m under budget for the month, I’m planning a trip to Trader Joe’s this week as well.
