Walmart & Kroger

This 1st pic is Walmart; I forgot to take a pic of Kroger before I put it all up- it was mostly frozen and I was in a hurry to make room for it all. Walmart was mostly to pick up a few things I needed/wanted that I didn't have coupons for. OJ was $2.84 at kroger, so I got 2 at Walmart for $2.58 ea. (We are brand specific- tried others, didn't like them~) The Red Baron pizzas were $3.33 ea, had $1/2, which made them $2.83 each. Also had a $0.75 coupon on the chicken nuggets, made them $2.98.

Total $29.73
Saved: 1.75

I actually did the Dr Pepper again later in the day at another store, but did not do the Ajax again. Also did not have any left on the gift card, so I had $13.39 OOP and got back another $3 register reward.

Walgreen's FAR Items

I went in hoping to snag some free or cheap Dove soap as seen in this deal here: http://jane4girls800dollarannualbudget.blogspot.com/2009/03/free-after-rr-soap-at-walgreens.html

But, they didn't have enough on the shelf to do the deal. So, I just picked up the free after rebat (FAR) items. It seems like there ought be a coupon on the Axe, but I didn't have one- still a profit when you factor in the bonus, though.

OOP: ZERO (used Gift Card from previous rebate)

Saved: $13.88 (because I paid with GC above)

Will get back $14.27 on my gift card when you factor in the 10% bonus.

Buying to give away....

One of our local ministries is in need of sugar, flour & cornmeal. I decided to use a $15 preloaded mastercard that I got from purchasing Olay cleanser a while back and was able to buy 8 bags for only $2.53 OOP. Depending on how much more the church collects Wednesday night, I may go back for more- it feels like cheating by using "rebate" money! But on the other hand, I would have otherwise spent it on myself, so maybe it's all the same anyway.

OOP: $2.53

Saved: $15.00

Kroger- Frozen Buy 10/get $5

Not my best trip ever, but I was able to restock my freezer! I won't list everything individually today- you can check out kroger's ad at www.kroger.com . I bought 5 1lb rolls of groung chuck at $2.19. I would have saved $1 by buying the 5lb roll for $9.95, but I prefer the smaller rolls- they freeze well and are just the right size for my family. I also picked up 3 Dr. K 12 pks for the kids at $1.77 ea and used my free tombstone coupon in my last Kroger mailing.

OOP: $68.79

Saved $20.29
