A Not So Great Sale Week In Review

CVS

Total OOP=$4.05

Got $8.50 ECBs

I wasn't going to do the Mountain Dew/Pepsi deal..but then I figured out that the Iced Tea purchases at the gas station started up again since Rhyan ran out of pop at work..so I KNOW it will save me money in the long run. (Oh, BTW, Rhyan said, "BUT I HAVE NO COMMENT ON IF RYAN FINE IS BUYING THINGS AT THE GAS STATION! and that doesn't mean that he is!") Of course, I made this transaction and then out comes a $5/15 coupon on my reciept. But with all my ECBs and $5 more dollars off I should be able to come up with a pretty good deal to use that coupon.

Meijer

Total OOP=$24.74

The deals are slim this week at Meijer. They have some Yoplait yogurt on sale but I have to wait till I can access another computer before I can print that coupon since I've already printed my limit. The Airwick I-motion air fresheners came out to .79 after coupon and the other Airwick came to .99 after coupon. Since the deals were slim and my stockpile of other stuff should get me through (maybe for 3 years) I took advantage of some meat sales. I was able to get 2 meals worth of pork chops for about $5 and a "Gourmet Meatloaf" that was on Managers Markdown for $3.83. The hot dogs and Eckrich sausage were both on sale too...but no coupons. If you get the Classico spag. sauce make sure you print your Internet coupon AND your mealbox. Oh..hmm..I guess my little busy body pulled the grapes out of this picture before I got it taken. They have grapes for .99 cents a lbs too! :)

Meijer Gas Station

Total OOP=$0.00

The Mentos gum is on sale for .89 at the gas station (but not in stores). If you use the $1 off coupon it will be free. Unfortunately I didn't have the nicest cashier and after I convinced him to adjust the coupon down to .89 cents since the register wasn't taking it at $1.00, he ended up throwing bags and acting very unpleasant. Eh, ohwell, I scored 12 packs of gum and walked out without paying a penny! :)
(do you see the little hand that is just waiting to knock all these things over? They make WONDERFUL stacking blocks too! :))

TOTAL SPENT=$28.79

**I still need to stop at Krogers to get ground chuck ($1.49 lbs this week) a cantaloupe (.99) and 10 lbs bag of potatoes ($2.99). Plus my CVS trip to spend my $5/15. And one more trip to Meijers too to do the Ritz cracker deal (buy 2 crackers 2/$5 get a free milk. I have a coupon for a free box of Ritz crackers from the Kraft instant win game back around Superbowl time..so I can get 2 boxes and a milk for $2.50) We were already set for milk for this week and it would have expired before we got to it...and to get the Yoplait yogurt.So I'll go back Saturday to do the rest of my shopping.
