July Food Shopping....9 Days Down **Amended**

I was finally able to go to Ollie's again since the June Food Stamp Challenge is over.  Remember, Ollie's doesn't accept EBT so that is why I hadn't gone in June.
They still had some of the Olive Oil I wanted to get......so I got some!lol

3 x EVOO from California $1.99=$5.97
2 x Enchilada Sauce $.79=$1.58
1 x Juicy Juice (cherry)=$1.69
1 x Act II Popcorn=$2.29
SubTotal.....$11.53

Everything in the store was on sale the week of July 4th for 15% off so I got a $1.73 discount off the already discounted prices! 8-))
$11.53-$1.73=$9.80 OOP
Reg.Retail Value....$21.33

I also went to Price Chopper(NE) last week.  I had 9 doubler coupons from the Sunday paper(you could only use 3 per trip).
I had a very hard time finding stuff I wanted that was cheapish that would be free or cheap after coupons were doubled.  You could only use sunday insert or magazine/etc. coupons with the doublers not Internet printed coupons so that cut down even more on what I had to pick from to buy.
The 3 things I planned on buying with the doublers were either out of stock or they didn't carry to begin with....crap!
So I ended up with....
1 bag of Herr's chips...used a $1/1 Q+a doubler=$1.49
2 containers of BestLife Butter Spread(for daughter)...used 2 $1/1 Qs+2 doublers=$.29 ea.=$.58

2 packs of AlFresco Chicken Sausage(on sale $3.50)...used 2 $2/1 Qs=$1.50 ea.=$3.00
SubTotal...$6.89+$.06 tax=$6.95 OOP
Reg. Retail Value...$23.88

I hit the Bakery Outlet as well...

Reg. Retail Value...$39.70 + a free loaf of bread for spending $10=$42.69


This week I picked up a few things Tuesday when I took the nephew up to the grocery store....
6 x jars of organic applesauce on sale $1 ea.=$6.00
