Saturday Savings Summary - 1/9/10

We had a very light shopping week this week. It was a little refreshing to have light week, after coming off a week of illness and also having daddy off work for the week. We enjoyed a nice week of family time.

For the shopping that I did do, I got good deals, but did not have a chance to take any pictures. Here is the breakdown.

First was CVS, I went in with $17.50 in ECBs, and a very short shopping list. I got:

1 lightbulb
2 cans of aquafresh iso-active toothpaste

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $16.72
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$15.00
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $1.72
Received: $2.00 ECBs
90% Savings!


Then I made my traditional Wednesday stop at Rainbow. There I picked up:
2 boxes of bagel bites
1 can aquafresh iso-active toothpaste
2 four packs of yopliat delights
1 pork roast
1 ziploc vacuum starter kit
1 box ziploc vaccum bags

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $34.61
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$28.46
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $6.15
82% Savings!

After Rainbow, I went across the street to Cub Foods and picked up:
20 cups of Yopliat Thick & Creamy

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $14.80
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$10.80
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $4.00
73% Savings!


That was it for this week. I was able to make a few of the items on my menu for January, but now am not shooting for a freezer cooking day as much as I am hoping to just make each item in bulk as the week goes on. Looking forward to next month. Let's hope all the cold and flu bugs are done for us this year!

This Week's Spending: $11.87 (for items valuing $66.13)
This Week's Savings: $54.26
Percentage of Savings: 82%

Cub Foods Deal: Yoplait Cups for $0.20

I just got back from a shopping trip at Cub Foods and I wanted to post up about a pretty good deal on Yoplait yogurt cups.

This week at Cub, Yoplait cups (Original, Whips, Light or Thick & Creamy) are on sale for $0.40 per cup with the ad coupon.

If you buy 20 cups, stack the ad coupon with one $1.00/8 Printable Coupon and two $0.50/6 Printable Coupons found here or here.

Your total out-of-pocket expense will be $6.00 for 20 cups. But wait! There's more....

What is not in the ad, but is posted on the shelves at the store is this: if you buy 20 cups, you will receive a coupon at checkout for $2.00 off your next order. So, factoring in this money off coupon, your net cost for 20 cups of yogurt would be $4.00 or $0.20 each!

FYI: The $2.00 off your next order coupon spits out of the catalina and the catalina's can be very slow at times, so make sure you wait for your coupon to come out.

Saturday Savings Summary - 1/2/10

This week was great for grocery savings. I had a couple of good shopping trips. I was able to get great deals on the final few ingredients for my freezer cooking day in January and I also stocked up on a few of our household favorites.

First stop was CVS. $24 ECBs in hand when I went, this is what I came home with.


2 ThermaCare Heat Wraps, 2 bottles of shampoo, 1 bottle of lotion, 1 razor, 3 sticks of deoderent, 3 bottles of dish soap, 1 tube of toothpaste and 2 packages of M&Ms


Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $67.79
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$64.49
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $3.30
Received: $17.50 ECBs
95% Savings!


Then I hit Rainbow on Double Coupon Wednesday. There were a few outstanding deals, including one on yogurt that was a money-maker. Here is my haul:


6 CPK frozen pizzas, 20 avacados, 12 bags of shredded cheese, 2 blocks of chunk cheese, 32 single serving cups of yogurt, 12 four cup packs of yogurt, 16 cans of campbell's tomato soup, 6 packages of chicken leg quarters, 2 packages of ground sausage, 20 pounds of potatoes, 4 large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 bag of chopped pecans, 1 bag of mini marshmallows, 1 can of tomato paste, 5 cans of tomato sauce and 2 bottles of spices.

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $216.29
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$163.79
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $52.50
76% Savings!


If you were shopping at Rainbow on Wednesday, you no doubt received the catalina slip advertising the Roundy's promotion on Kraft Products starting 1/1/10 and running through 1/24/10. Buy five qualifying Kraft products in one transaction, receive a coupon for $5.00 off your next order.

Since Rainbow was also running a great sale on Kraft cheese this week, for just two days (Friday and Saturday) you could score shredded or chunk cheese for only $0.32 per bag/chunk if you used the coupon in the Rainbow in store ad along with the $5.00 off coupon. That's a 91% savings over the regular price!

Since we go through a lot of cheese, I stocked up at this amazing price on Friday. I also grabbed four more packages of chicken leg quarters, since they were at such a good price too.

Cheese & Chicken Stock Up Trip:
Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $247.94
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$211.76
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $36.18
85% Savings!


So, at the close of this week, I am slightly over budget, but I'm thrilled with my savings and also the items I was able to stock up on.

This Week's Spending: $91.98 (for items valuing $532.02)
This Week's Savings: $440.04
Percentage of Savings: 83%

Unfortunately, my freezer cooking day was postponed, probably until Wednesday or even Thursday of next week so I'm not off to a great start this month in that department, but I'll get to it this week. Stay tuned!
