Grocery Shopping Week of 2/8
Posted by Admin on Feb 13th, 2009
Yes, I know it’s Thursday night and I’m finally getting around to posting about the shopping I did on Sunday. But we’ve been sick this week…and really sick yesterday. But better late than never, so here we go!

This week, Dillon’s was running a Daytona Sale, which meant I got $3 off my order for every 10 participating products I bought (I bought 20, so got $6 off). So I got all of this for $27.33. Here’s how:
- 3 Breyer’s ice creams: 3.49 x 3 = 10.47
- 2 Totino’s pizza rolls: 1.25 x 2 = 2.50 – 0.50/1 Shortcuts coupon – $1/2 = $1 or $0.50 each
- 8 Ragu Spaghetti Sauce: 1.72 x 8 = 13.76 – four $1/2 = 9.76 or 1.22 each
- 4 Betty Crocker fruit snacks: 1.88 x 4 = 7.52 – two .75/2 (doubled to $1) = 5.52 or 1.38 each
- 3 Beefaroni: 0.88 x 3 = 2.64 – .35/3 (doubled to .70) = 1.94 or 0.64 each
- 4 Cottonelle: .99 x 4 = 3.96 – four $.50/1 (doubled to $1) = -0.04 FREE W/ OVERAGE
- 2 Del Monte Green Beans: .99 x 2 = 1.98 – two .30/1 (doubled to .60) = .78 or .39 each
- 2 Del Monte Green Beans: .99 x 2 = 1.98 – two .75/1 (doubled to 1) = -0.02 FREE W/ OVERAGE
- 1 Yo-Plus Yogurt: 2.00 – $1/1 Shortcuts coupon – $1/1 = o FREE
- 1 Yo-Plus Yogurt: 2.00 – $1.50/1 = .50
- - $3 Daytona Deal
- -$3 Daytona Deal
Total: $27.33 with tax; Saved $33.11 ($21.45 was in coupons)
I didn’t take a picture of it, but I also bought 4 newspapers and a package of marked down diced beef. That totalled $12.02.

I did two transactions at CVS and got the pictured items for only $1.50! Here’s how:
Transaction #1:
- Garnier Nutrisse Hair Color: 5.99 – $2/1 = 3.99
- Gillette Fusion Razor: 9.99 – 4 = 5.99
- - I had them adjust a $10 ECB down to $9.98, so I only had to pay tax out of pocket.
Total: $0.45; Savings: $17.98
Transaction #2:
- Chewable Aspirin $1.99
- Instant Energy supplement: 4.99
- - $6 ECB
Total: $1.05; Savings: $6.00
I also got $13.95 in Extra Care Bucks back.
We were able to skip Aldi this week, so Walmart was our last stop.

The Cascade Rinse Agent and Buddies Bars were free and I had coupons for all of the toddler snacks. The milk, cheese, cereal and juice was also free, thanks to WIC!
Total: 31.03; Savings: $11.13 (plus the cost of the items we got through WIC)
Total spending: 71.88; Total Savings: $68.22
