Saturday 7/14/12

I didn’t buy a ton today, but did just okay.  Shell gasoline stop first…..I had .45 per gallon off my gas….thank you Winn Dixie!.  2nd stop, Publix.  Needed milk and eggs of course, and found we needed to replace our night lights.  We have no street lights, so if you get up in the middle of the night here, it is pitch black.  I bought 2 of the Springer Mountain Farms whole chickens (no antibiotics and fed only vegetables) and used 2 of my $1.50 off coupons.  Morning Star Farms veggie foods were bogo at $4.39 for 2.  I bought 4, different kinds of veggie burgers, we had the black bean ones for lunch.  In Red Plum on 6/24 we got .75/1 coupons.  There are 4 burgers in each package, they came out to $1.44 per package, or .36 per burger.  The black bean ones were pretty good!  Super Pretzels were bogo (the soft pretzels in the freezer case), I bet I have a ton of those coupons, of course mine were all expired, but not a bad deal for 6 big pretzels at $1.59 per package, or .27 per pretzel!  Main reason I went today was for the 8 O’clock coffee which was bogo.  I only had enough coupons to buy 6, normally I would have bought a lot more, but they came out to $2.66 per bag, which is not bad for coffee.  Land o Frost Premium lunch meats were $3.49 per pound after coupons from  RP 6/24.  Smithfield bacon was 3 for $10, only bought 2 of those.  Had no coupons for those.  Milk bone dog biscuits….the great big huge boxes of them….they were bogo at $6.99 for 2, had coupons for $1.50/2 from RP 6/24.  Those came out at $2.75 each.  They had some really nice asparagus, Kale  and the Ranier Cherries were bogo.  Then I also bought some school supplies for my daughter for college.  The 4 packs of Sharpie markers were bogo at $1.54 per package of 4.  Bic mechanical pencils….10 in a pack, were $1 per pack.  Crayola crayons were .33 for the 24 pack…those will go into the church pantry/supply closet.  Bought the Pilot gel writers for bogo at $2.99 or $1.50 for 2 pens!  Those are for me.  Found a huge box of oatmeal by Mornflake that was in the mark down basket for $2.25, normally $5.  At any rate, I spent $132.58 and saved $94.47!  I also used one of my $5 off $30 Winn Dixie coupons.

Next stop, Winn Dixie.  I didn’t have a lot of coupons for WD, but I went mainly to buy the bogo chuck roasts.  I bought 4 to put in the freezer.  This is the WD on Normandy, I will say their meat is not as nice as the Argyle WD.  Bought Frosty Paws for the girls (dogs) I figured they could enjoy a cool treat too.  Edys fruit juice bars were $3.50 per package.  Bought some basil, grits, pretzels, baked beans etc. etc.  I spent $70.91 and saved $32.61.  Not a horrible day, but not one of my best.

Do check out those Morning Star Farms veggie burgers at Publix and the bogo chuck roasts at WD.

Hopefully, there will be better savings next week!  God Bless and have a great rest of the weekend.
