But I am ridiculously excited about the grocery store trip I just had! I saved over $50 in coupons at Albertson's and got some amazing deals. It was definitely a stock-your-freezer kind of trip!
Some of the highlights: \
I got 9 pounds (about 12 steaks) of sirloin steak for $20! They had a coupon for buy 1 - get 2 free! This is going straight in the freezer for when Chris gets home - he will be so excited!
Turkey bacon is the one healthy item I can't sell in my house. Both Chris and Zoe will gladly tolerate whole wheat pasta, multi-grain tortilla chips, whatever but you can not take away their bacon. A compromise - we get center cut (it's a little less fattening). They had a buy one get one sale, so I got six packages of bacon for $15.00!
I had clipped two coupons for wholly guacamole a few weeks ago not sure I would ever use them, because it's pretty expensive, but they had a sale of 2/$4 (about half off). I had coupons of another $1.50 off, so I got two packages of guacamole for $2.50. Wholly guacamole is super natural with no added preservatives, so that was WAY CHEAPER than buying avocados and doing it myself.
I got 5 lbs of groun beef for $8.00. I separated it and put it straight in the freezer.
Philly cream cheese was on sale for 4/$5. I had three .25 cent coupons, so I got them for .99 cents each. I use fat free cream cheese to bulk up everything!
Sargento shredded cheese was buy one get one free! Again, one went straight in the freezer.
There were a few other really exciting deals, but I am sure this is boring enough.
All told, I had get this - $56.93 in COUPONS, and $49.05 in store savings. So a grocery bill that should be beenabout 223 was only $117! And I literally won't have to shop for a month!!!
