My Shopping This week

>> May 12, 2009

Hello all.
Its been awhile since I posted any of my shopping trips.
But with Doublers and all..I just had to share. :)

So first I went to Albertsons and Fred Meyer.

I made a lame mistake here... I just bought 6 Kraft BBQ sauces and used coupons on all of them plus doubled. It was still a great deal, but if I would have purchased 4 more I would have been able to get those 4 free as well. Still a great deal as it was though.

I spent $3.24 and got back $3 in a catalina.

Then at Fred Meyers I purchased 4 Tillamook cheese, 2 butter, 3 Jello puddings, and some apples. I am probably going to go back this week and stock up on more butter and cheese.

I spent $18.91 and used a $1/3 jello coupon.

Now for Today:
Albertsons Doublers:
1st Transaction
6 Bar-S hotdogs -used (3) $1/2 coupons and doubled
Paid .87 for ALL 6!!

2nd Transaction:
Explained about yesterdays mess up and wondered if I could purchase 4 more, and get $3 instant savings..they said that was fine.
So I purchased the 4 BBQ sauces
-8 Macaroni & Cheeses - used (2) Buy 3 get 1 FREE printables
-2 more BBQ sauce -used $1/1 printables
-one kraft mayo -used $1/1 printable
-one kraft miracle whip-used $1/1 printable
Paid .50 for all of it and got back a $3 Catalina and a $2 catalina



Then after Albertsons I went off to Winco to do the pop tarts movie ticket deal.
I bought 10 packs at .98 cents each
-used (2) $1/1 peelies, and (4) $1/2 from 5/3 SS
Paid $3.80 and I will get 2 Movie Tickets in the mail!!

And so I thought I was doing good,
just going in Winco for the poptarts..
when looked what appeared out of nowhere.

I was weak..couldnt resist. Oh dear, come to me cookies..
I know they are so bad for you, but mmmm are they yummy.
I also threw in the cart some frozen hamburger patties as well.
So add $9.47 to my totals :)


Oh and the $37.96 I spent at Walmart this week too. Lots of produce, milk, bagels,kids lunch supplies,potatoes, cottage cheese plus lots of other basic staples.

I need to majorly update my totals..I pretty much took a month off of doing my shopping posts on here. Sorry, its been so busy and the kids have been sick. Now I am sick.. and losing my voice.
So, I will work on that tomorrow. Here are my totals for this weeks shopping!

So this may be a dumb question, but do you freeze your blocks of cheese? I have frozen shredded before, but never the blocks.

Another question? Is the Poptart Movie ticket only for Star Trek?

I have frozen my blocks before... just dont thaw them at room temp!!! lol.

By the way I found another web site that sends out coupons... ValPak!!! I had no idea they had a web site and decided to just do a little hunting... so RedPlum & ValPak both have sites that you can register at and they will send you updates with new coupons!

My mom always said that once you thaw a frozen chunk of cheese it will be crumbly once thawed. Normally the expiration dates are a long ways a way with cheese so it hasn't been a problem at our house.

Kerry--so sorry you're sick. Not swine flu is it?

When I freeze the whole block sometimes it crumbles, and sometimes it doesnt. But normally I will shredd it first and then freeze it in bags. Shredded cheese seems to freeze better.

And for the poptart movie ticket deal: it says Star Trek movie OR any other movie!! Woo hoo! So its for any movie out there. :)

I hope its not the swine flu!! Ack... I have a sore throat and lost my voice. So we will see...

Oh and Dani - cool info about the sites that send you coupons!
