Where does the week go?? It seems like it was yesterday that I was sitting down to do my weekly totals. I keep thinking that things will slow down and they never do…is that just wishful thinking on my part??
This week I spent a bit more than usual. My husband ran out of Diet Coke so I had to bite the bullet and just grab it. I tried to make it a little better by using the $2 off meat when you buy Coke tearpad. That is kinda like paying $2 per 12 pack. I have got to work a soda deal somewhere because those measly 48 cans is nothing to him. They will be gone in no time flat 🙂 I also threw in a couple of things that were not exactly necessary but I just grabbed them. I have not had Steak-Umm in over 10 years…but while I was at the store, the thought of a Philly Cheese Steak sounded so good that I had to grab a box!
I did manage to grab a good amount of items that will last a while. I scored more cheap milk and would like to say I am set until the end of the year. But…my guys are going through more milk than ever. I guess just seeing that we have a bunch in the refrigerator makes them think that they should drink more?? Really only the meat and veggies were to be used this week. The rest of the stuff I bought is for the coming weeks/months.
So I guess my totals are a bit high but I still saved a bundle, so I say that is a good week! This week I spent $68.34 for $260+ worth of groceries!! That means I saved 74% this week…not too shabby!
Here is what I brought home:
How did you do? Leave a comment or link to your weekly totals.
I spent $3.24 for $161.63 worth of groceries, saved $158.39 = 98% Plus I got the items needed for another set of Pink Cookware…so it was a GREAT week for me! 🙂
OMG how did you do that? I have been doing couponing for about a year and a half and I have yet to experience a transaction like that. How did you do it and what am I doing wrong?
Well…every now and then, the stars (read ‘deals’) line up just right and I’m able to pull off a great shopping trip. It only happens 2 or 3 times a year at most, so it’s not every week by no means! A well stocked pantry and freezer lets me pick only the best deals each week, then throw in a few money-makers and voila! A great store also helps, giving me overages, double coupons and accepting competitor coupons.
Michelle,
Did you trade for the 4C free bread crumbs wyb cheese qs? I couldn’t find them in my inserts from the AJC and want to make sure I’m not missing them.
Love your site and tell everyone I come across that asks about my couponing tips about your site. I need to have cards made with I Heart Publix on them to hand out. ;0)
Thanks!
Autumn
I think I bought them off ebay or from Coupon Beat…I got the $2/1 from one and the free wyb from the other 🙂
May I ask how you keep your milk fresh until the end of the year? I wanted to get more, but knew it wouldn’t be used by the date on it. I love your site and appreciate all you do for us. Thanks!
Hey there Michelle,
in the new Harvest of Savings coupon book there is a Publix Smart Milk coupon for $1/1.
So MM milk!!!
Thanks for hosting. I love your site!
Coca-Cola products are $2.99/12 cans at CVS until tomorrow just in case you have extra bucks, or could work something out to get EBs to pay for them. =)
I can’t believe I missed the Hungry Man frozen dinners last week! Darn it 🙁
My hubby could have used them for his lunch.
They are on sale at Food Lion for $2 each this week (through Tues. at my store.)
Tell your husband to stop drinking soda and drink water. It’s healthier and cheaper!!!
