This week's under $25!


Safeway:
(Our usual soda stop – less this week because I’m trying to stop drinking it.)
3 12pks Safeway Soda - $1.99 ($2.99, Store Sale Buy 3 save $3)
Total @ Full Price: $9.09
Final Amount Paid: $6.09
Total Savings: $3.00 (33%)

Fry’s: Transaction 1 –
(We did these as a single transaction ahead of the rest because it got us a $2 Catalina.)

Total @ Full Price: $ 14.07
Final amount Paid: $11.07

I know that doesn’t sound like a great deal, but we were severely out of dog treats and while Lucy doesn’t object to human food as her treats, we only give her carrots if we’re out – we ran out of carrots on Friday :(

* Okay! Let me explain the “Get One Free” coupons. A week or two ago a little envelope printed with cranberries arrived in our mail box from Frys and inside were a dozen or so coupons. 4 of which were for “Get One _________ Free!” we used three of those today

So! Today we managed to get out of the stores for $ 23.85 when we should have spent $56.30. Considering my goal this week was under $25 and we didn’t need much to begin with, I think we did spectacularly!

  1. $25, great job!

    Yesterday we spend a ton on groceries and supplies. We've decided that two papers isn't enough since we run out of coupons so fast, so we're gonna try three and possibly four. Stepping it up!
