More Cereal for me..my shopping today.

>> March 7, 2009

I have been sick with a cold for a couple of weeks now, so I havent been shopping as much as normal.

I did two runs to grocery stores..one to Walmart and bought 30 lbs of boneless chicken breast using the ad match for Fiestas $1.39lb. I used my $50 barbie visa MIR card..so $0 out of pocket there. Then I went to Safeway and purchased a ton of Ground Turkey, and some other stuff..and used my Transfer Prescription gift cards..spent $0 out of pocket there as well.

Today I went to Safeways and brought home more cereal.

What I bought:
12 Post Raisan Bran - used $1/2 and $1.50/2 catalinas
3 Captain Crunch $1.99 -used .50/1 Qs
5 Kelloggs Mini wheats $1.99 - used $1/1 peelies
5 lbs carrots .99
1 Orange juice $1.99-used $1/1 Q
1 Fresh Express kit $1.98
10 cans dog food $1.49 -used 10 Free can Qs
-each 4 of the raisen brans produced $4 OYNO catalinas
-used $3.46 from remaining balance on my gift card
=total spent $7.04 out of pocket!
=total saved $ 41.40 (just coupons used)


So..yeah, its official, I can no longer bring home any more cheap cereal..for awhile. Seriously, everytime anyone comes over..and they see my pantry, they say.."WOW..thats A LOT of cereal!" Its true..I have lots. I counted today, and I have 58 boxes of cereal in my pantry. On the upside, if a natural disaster strikes..you all can come to my house for a bowl of cereal!!

off to update my savings & spending totals!

I tried to do this today, but our store was out of the Raisin Bran. :(

I think we have about the same amount of stockpile at our house too. Sad thing is that only lasts us about ten weeks.

Glad to see someone else stocking up on cereal. We have about 50 boxes now. We too can host a cereal party!
