Albertsons This Week

Spent: $50.xx

Saved: $87.xx

******************************

The scary thing is, the regular price total for the food below was $137.52-- it was these kind of shopping trips, where I spent $60 on barely anything that made me want to understand this couponing + sales = savings!

Quick Breakdown:

They have their usual "buy $10 get $3 off" deal running, and I had a lot of coupons. I did the $3 off thing 7 times, plus I did the "buy $10 in pillsbury/yoplait, get free OJ" deal as well. Here's my scenario: Read on if you dare. It gets a bit mind boggling. Or at least I feel that way when I walk out of the store. Next time I need to make sure I cook brain food for breakfast!

Buy $10/$3 off deals:

(2deals) 10 campbells Select Harvest soups (5-.50/2 q's) = 10 soups for $1.15 each

4 Ronzoni Bistros (4-$1/1 qs), 1 Ken's Lite Salad Spray (1-$2/2 q) = $1 for these

1 Ken's Salad Spray (1-$2/1 q), 4 Birds Eye C&W frozen vegetables = $5 total

6 Idahoan Potatoes, 4 Daisy Sour Creams =$7

4 Motts Apple Juice (2 $1/2 qs) = $5

2 V8 Splash Juices (2 $1/1 qs), 1 Angel Soft TP = $5.02

2 Yo+ yogurts (2 $1/1 qs), 2 Pillsbury Pizza crusts (2 $1.10/1 qs) = $5.80, plus free 1/2 gallon OJ
Plus a few other things I bought because they were good deals, like the DanActive drinks-- I use the $1/1 coupons on them when they are on sale for $2, so then they are .25/serving, and the girls LOVE them.

And to be honest, this whole area is a struggle for me. I struggle with being proud of myself for figuring this out. But I couldn't have done it on my own without His provision! So, please, if you see me on the street, don't say "good job denaye!," say "Praise God for His faithfulness!"
