My Shopping Trips (10/27)

by Dana Zeliff on October 27, 20102010-10-27
in CVS, Farm Fresh Weekly Ads, My Shopping Trip, Walmart

I was really excited about the almost free cans of veggies this week.  That is until I realized I had already used all but 1 of the coupons.  Oh well, such is life.
Can you believe $0.49 a bag for chocolate chips?  Baking season is right around the corner, so I picked up 4 bags for the sale price of 1! 
See my Farm Fresh Coupon Matchups
1 Ketchup $1
1 Milk $2.65 – $1/1 peelie $1.65
1 Tic Tac $1 – $0.75/1 from 10/03 RP insert FREE
6 Rotel $0.88 – (2) $1/3 printable $1.28
3 Libby’s Veggies $0.07!!!!
2 Tony’s Pizza $0.50
2 Juicy Juice $0.98
4 Chocolate Chips $1.96!!!!
2 Wheat Thins FREE
2 Nestle Cookie Dough FREE
2 Colgate Wave Toothbrush FREE!!!
1 Cottonelle Wipes – free product coupon FREE
Total Paid $7.98
Total Saved $35.97
I was sad when I went into CVS again and didn’t get the coupons everyone has been reporting.  I didn’t get the baby wipes coupon nor the $1/2 candy coupon.   I almost left without the candy but I really like Reeses.  No, the bag’s not open, really 🙂
2 Hershey’s Candy
-$1/2 Hershey’s Coupon
-$3.99 ECB’s
Total Paid $0.11
Total Saved $7.97
Earned $1 ECB’s for green bag tag
At Walgreen’s I really only wanted the toothpaste and was trying to rush to the gym. 
1 Colgate Sensitive
2 Mentos
1 Act Popcorn Ball (filler)
– $1/1 colgate
– (2) $1/1 Mentos
-$0.99 each in-ad coupon
-$2.60 RR
Total Paid $0.49
Total Saved $9.40
Earned $3.50 RR
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been very unorganized lately and feeling kind of blah about couponing. I think I’m ready to get back into the swing of things, though. My cabinets are showing the signs of misuse.  I’m planning to restock my freezer, so I splurged on containers.    I also bought a few items for freezer cooking and a few other things like 4 Arnold Wheat Breads priced at $1.50 each. I also bought 4 Mission Tortillas prices at $2.33 each.  It’s a little higher than I like, but I prefer Mission tortillas and I wanted the big burrito size.  I also grabbed coffee creamer, zucchini and a few other things.
I spent $19.49 on the containers above
I spent $30.86 on food for freezer cooking and miscellaneous food items
How did you do?
