This week Chrissy and I both went to a local discount grocery store and made out with some great deals!For those of you in KC I encourage you to try Rick’s Picks (in Independence). They do accept MFC’s and currently have a $5/$25 in the Thrifty Nickel (which you can pick up for free in the store).
Walgreen’s earlier this week:
3 gallons milk
This trip was $.56 OOP (I used my $10 RR from last week’s P&G deal), saved $10.00 (99%)
Here’s what I got at Rick’s Picks:
3 boxes Kashi crackers
3 boxes Kashi cookies
4 boxes Earths’ Best Cookies
3 cans diced tomatoes
3 cans Amy’s Organic chili
1 can Refried beans
4 boxes organic, gluten-free cereal (for my son and daughter)
1 bag Santita’s tortilla chips
2 boxes apple cinnamon crisps

My total was $22 and some change (I used the $5/$25 coupon as well), savings of $43.66 (67%)

Third trip to HyVee:

4 Duncan Hines Cake mixes (2 for party)
24 oz Raisins
12 oz Cranberries and Raisins mix

2 5.6 oz pkg blackberries (some for anniversary dinner – I’ll freeze these)
16 oz bag fresh spinach (for our anniversary dinner)
2 lb brick colby cheese
1 8oz pkg cream cheese
Here I spent $72.87, saved $37.49 (savings of 34%)
Grand Total for the week (or three!) $189.57, saved $130.66 (40%) in sales and coupons.
I had to buy several high priced items this week that I can’t get coupons for. Both of our kids are now on a gluten free diet so we bought a loaf of bread and a pack of pizza crusts (about $13) and my husband needed more coffee (about $13 again). These are things that I have found it’s easier and about the same price to buy vs make myself. The coffee is a luxury we indulge in.
