My first promo shopping trip!

I am definitely getting the hang of this, and this shopping trip went so much better as my hubby went with and the baby was actually really good.

I am very disappointed that I cannot keep up this blog as much as I would like to, summer semester is crazy for school between that, homework, my teething son (he got his first 2 right in a row... pics later!), babysitting, and everything else I am just exhausted.

I also purchased a binder to clip coupons as well as filing. I hope to make a video on this soon.

Anyway.. here is my haul:

To get the most out of the 2 promotions I split it in 3 transactions, I did one, handed my $10 OYNSO to hubby for his transaction.. he took the kids and groceries to the car and I went back to use his $10 OYNSO for other sale items. (Promotions: spend $25 on items get $10 off your next shopping trip and 5 Sarah lee items get $5 off instantly)

1st transaction:

2 loafs of Sarah Lee Bread - $4

3 Puddings - $3

2 Hunts Manwich - $1.60 (after .40/2 coupon)

3 chef boyarde - $2.65 (after .35/3 coupon)

4 Healthy Choice dinners - $6 (after 2 $1/2 coupons)

2 Healthy Choice entrees - $2 (after 2 $1/1 coupons)

2 Marie Callanders entrees - $3 (after 2 $1/1 coupons)

1 Jimmy Dean bacon - $ 3

2 Jimmy Dean Sausage - $6

I received $5 off the whole purchase for 5 qualifying Sarah Lee items. Also a $10 OYNSO.

2nd transaction:

2 Crunch n Munch- $2

1 Wesson Cooking Oil- $3

5 Hunts Ketchup - $5

5 Hunts Spaghetti Sauce - $5

8 Banquet meals - $8

1 kids cuisine - $2

3 Hillshire Farms lunch meats - $6

1 summer sausage - $2.50

1 Hillshire Farms sausage - $3

On this purchase I used the last $10 OYNSO and also received another $10 OYNSO. Also an automatic $5 for the Sarah Lee promo.

3rd transaction:

1 Albertons water - $2.99 (after $.51 off coupon)

6 boxes of kelloggs cereal - about $1.15 each... this one is hard to explain. I had 2 $1.50/2 and 2 $1/1 coupons... plus albies had a deal for $3/3 so I got $6 off.

1 butter - $ 1.79 (after $.71/1 coupon)

2 dozen eggs - $1.98

1 digiorno flat bread - $1 (after $1.5/1 coupon... I was so bummed because albies was cleared out of these except for 1! it was such a good deal!)

On this one I used the last $10 OYNSO.

Okay for $172.93 worth of groceries I only spent $57.59!! That's a savings of 66%! I am also at $.20 off per gallon of gas. Okay off to work on my binder...
