I am super late with my grocery shopping post this week. Busy with politics, I guess.
Saturday I did my normal shopping at Fred Meyer. I scored on milk and markdowns. I spent $18.79 and cancelled our milk delivery for the week which usually runs about $12.
Regular Milk - $1.59 on clearance
Chocolate Milk - $1.79 on clearance
Sour Cream - $1.25 on sale and $.40 off FM coupon I got in the mail = $.85
Whole Wheat Hot Dog Buns - $.79 on clearance
Whole Wheat English Muffins - $.49 each 6-pack on clearance
Vita-Bee bread - $.99 on clearance and $.25 off FM coupon I got in the mail = $.74
Tillamook yogurt - $.33 each with coupon in the Sunday paper
Rice Pilaf - $.89 each REGULAR PRICE (This almost never happens on dry goods)
Bacon - $2.99 on sale with $1.00 MC = $1.99
Pillsbury Cookies - $1.29 on clearance. One of my kids had wanted this for weeks and I told her if I found it on sale after Halloween we could get it. Just keeping my word.
Bananas - $.64/lb
I also bought a hair product I love for $6.49. It is a huge splurge for me but I haven't seen it on sale and I have been our for weeks. I finally decided to buy it with a $2.00 off coupon, but when I went through the checkout my coupon wasn't scanned. I don't know if it stuck to another coupon or what but I was really disappointed and went to customer service to return it. =(
Safeway
Next was a trip to Safeway for cereal with kid in tow. My kids have been desperate for cold cereal and I have been carefully watching prices. I spent $21.42 and had the distinct pleasure of my 7 year old telling me I was embarrassing her while we were checking out. It was my first time! And I told the checker about it which embarrassed my kiddo even more. Whoo!
These six boxes were $10.14 and my coupons were ($1/3)($.75/1)($.40/1)($.50/1) = $7.49 or $1.25 each
The $.40/1 coupon was for Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and was from the 80's with no expiration date but did have a barcode. It scanned! And I said Whoo-hoo! And that's what embarrassed Eve. =)
Wesson oil - $2.99 on sale
Flavored Creamer - $2.79 on sale
Brown Sugar - $1.99 each on sale (qty 2, $.50/1 coupons) = $1.49 each
Tortillas - $1.69 each on sale
Eggs - $1.99 on sale
Albertsons
I went to Albertsons to use the double coupons onTuesday. I got more cereal.
Cereal was $1.88 each and you had to buy 5. I had $1/2, $1/2 and $.50/1 manufacturer's coupons. When I was checking out the checker mistakenly doubled each at $1.00. I pointed out that one was supposed to be $.50 and he shrugged and said it was OK. He was a manager who had been called in to help with checking so I decided to take the extra $.50 and be thankful!
These 5 boxes of cereal were $3.90 or $.78 each

Oh my goodness, a coupon from the 80s? How do you even get that?
ReplyDeleteHow much do you pay for milk delivery and who delivers? I looked into Smith Bros, but decided $8/gallon was too much even if it is organic.
Kracinda,
ReplyDeleteMy Mother-in-Law gave me a huge stack of no-expiration-date coupons years ago. I know I had them at our old house so at least 5 and a half years ago. I probably have over 100, mostly for cereal. The most hilarious is a Pillsbury coupon for 4 cents off. Four!!! I'll see if I can find it. If I can, I'll scan and post.
We recently started having Smith Brothers deliver because I got a 6 week introductory deal of $1.99 for each half gallon. That was nice while it lasted but it's hard to justify the increased price now that our 6 weeks are over. I haven't been getting organic, but it is RBST free and it does arrive only 2 days out of the cow which is pretty awesome. We're paying just over $5/gallon. When I find milk on sale I just cancel our order for the week. I will probably cancel altogether here shortly, but it does feel so luxurious to have milk delivered!
