Tuesday's Table 8/4/09

Wow, I am exhausted. This saving money thing is work and I'm still recovering from road trip for a family reunion. I went to two stores today. The first was Aldi's. They don't always have dollar deals, but they did this week. Unfortunately, the produce isn't always choice there. So I passed on the strawberries past their prime and the tiniest cantaloupe ever seen and cleaned up on the milk and other items I needed. For all the food below it only cost me $34.67.


Then it was off to Meijer for the backpacks and Kellogg's items along with just a few other things to feed my crew. I did this in three transactions at the self check out that looked like this:


For a total of $14.90 I got all this. I was pretty happy as that was the original cost of the back pack pictured. Each box has $5 worth of coupons inside. I also got a printout for $1 off my next purchase for my next order. Then I checked out with this order:

:
This total was for $9.81, which was again, less than the cost of the backpack. I received another $1 off my next purchase for buying 2 natural Skippy. Then I did one more checkout with this:


I did the backpack deal one more time with the Keebler cookies or the Cheezits counting toward it. The Suave deal was if you bought 3 products you got a free shampoo or conditioner. I'm all stocked up now on lotion and the boys can have a manly shampoo (can you imagine your Mom buying that for the boys way back when?) I used my $1 off coupons from the Natural Skippy at checkout this time so I won't loose or forget them. My total was $24.73. So my total for the week is $84.11. I may start tracking my grocery tabs for the month and see how I'm doing overall.

Schwan's Freebie

Be one of the first 500,000 to visit the Schwan's Free Food giveaway page and you could get $10 in FREE food plus free delivery.

Those who have purchased items from Schwan’s Home Service in the past 14 weeks and those not located in an existing route of the delivery service are not eligible to receive the free offer.

Also, it is not $10 off your total order but 1 item is free with no overage. So if you get 1 item for $7.99, you get it free. If you get 1 item for $11.99, you pay $1.99. If you get 2 items for $7.99 each, you still only get $7.99 off you order not $10. I ordered 8 - 2oz mini steaks and my friend got a package of 16 corn dogs for free, with no tax or delivery fees. They should be delivered in 2 days : )

Thanks so much Elizabeth!

Aldi's Deals

I have been a faithful Aldi's girl for years. I bring my own bags, my list, a quarter for the cart and a debit card or cash. I switched from the big stores when the first baby came 14 years ago. I have been a very loyal gal buying almost everything they sell and liking it, except the spaghetti sauce. But I have really downscaled my shopping there since beginning this couponing adventure. I can beat there prices with coupons used on sales or with store coupons/manufacturer coupons on the sales. So I make a small list and head in every other week for my bagels and cream cheese, a couple bags of apples, chips, and string cheese. This week I think I may be stocking up on these dollar deals:

Gallon Milk (yes for a buck!)
Cantaloupe
Pound of red or green grapes
pound of strawberries

How Fun Is That

I've been at a Buck reunion with my side of the family and we had a lot of fun. As we trickled into town the first night we met up at Sweet Tomatoes, a soup and salad buffet place. Sister Mary 2 was waiting for us to arrive and while waiting was offered some unused coupons by someone leaving. So six of us enjoyed BOGO deals on the meal. How fun is that? So if you have one near you, you can get coupons in your email box over here.
