Here’s what I bought this week:
At Walmart & HyVee ~
Walmart – total before coupons and price matching: $62.06 and after coupons and price matching: $28.66! That’s a 53% savings!! My favorite deals at Walmart – 5 ct Zyrtec for .26 after $5 coupon from here, as well as free triscuits and hair gel using coupons I received in the mail.
Hy-Vee – spent just under $10 on the ice cream, grapes & cereal. I also got rainchecks for Earthbound Farms spinach and Raisin Bran because they were out.
From my garden and Mays Berries:
Cost – $20 for the strawberries…more than I’d like to spend, but these are free of pesticides and that’s important to me. Besides, the taste beats conventionally grown strawberries 10,000 to 1!
(I also took the $20 for the berries out of my discretionary budget because it was entertainment even though they were picked for me. We toured their farm and had a great time.)
At Fareway ~
My purchases from last week’s price matching list before I took into account pesticides… Spent $16 and got a raincheck for potatoes as they were out.
Did you get any good deals this week?
