I went to Meijer first and got the Green Giant Veggies 10/$10 with the 11th free... I bought 13 since that is what I had coupons for. I also purchased the pizza rolls that were 10/$10 with coupons that made them .30 each. Plus two loaves of the Arnold bread that was $1.69 and I had a $1.00 off coupon on each. Also, if you like inexpensive steaks that still taste great, they have packages that my husband found in the family packs for four steaks, large ones, for $8.00 a pack... and they were yummy on the grill. I will go back and grab more of those for the freezer!
Then off to Kroger... no sightings of the crazy lady this week! :) But I got 17 packages of the Birds Eye Steamers.. with the sales and coupons they were .30 a bag. I also grabbed six of the Eckrich smoked sausages since they worked out to $1.90 a piece and are always great to have on hand. Plus the Shredded Wheat at .18 a box... no-one really eats it at my house but at that price it will be donated!
I have a new shopping goal.... I am only buying what is the absolute best deals each week. I only spent like $45 this week total. I want to see how cheaply we can really live. I have a great stockpile going and with summer coming and a garden plus fishing and hunting seasons I may suprise myself how cheaply we can live.
James is officially off the road now... he got a new job in Pontiac so I no longer have to buy food for the truck as well. That should help my cut-back!
Hoping to save the extra cash for another vacation or something else fun!

I'm glad to see a post about seeing how cheaply you can live for a week. I've made it my goal to spend only $50 a week. I have done it for three weeks now and it is working just fine! I don't think it would be possible though without a stockpile. It's fun to have a challenge like this though isn't it?!!
ReplyDeleteI wondered about the Meijers sales this week. ever since i left for florida i have been so out of the loop. hopefully next week i will be caught up!
