A Shopping Extravaganza Lately!

I bought 2 boxes of Cheerios on Saturday at Rite-Aid........

They were $1.97 per box and I used a $1/2 GM cereals Q so $2.94 paid in Bonus Cash on son's card(I had some BC expiring on that card soon).
I got $1 cash back on SavingStar for this purchase so these "cost" me .97¢ a box.

Friday was Fantastic Sale Day at Weis(PMITA)Markets.
Here is what I bought..............

3 x Utz Chips were B1G2Free=$4.29
3 x Club crackers minis on sale=$5.58
1 x Tabasco=$3.39
2 x Planters nut crunchers on sale=$5.98
2 x Green Giant veggies on sale=$3.00
2 x Birdseye veggies on sale=$3.98

1 x Johnsonville breakfast sausage on sale=$2.67 *not pictured*
1 x Kaukauna cheese ball on sale=$5.00 *not pictured*
2 x Lay's chips BOGOF=$4.28 *not pictured*
1 x Weis Garlic Bread=Freebie *not pictured*

1 x 18+ lb. Butterball turkey=$9.04 *not pictured*

SubTotal......$55.18

I got $3 off on the 6 Mix 'n Match items(veggies, nuts), $1Q on the Lasagna, $1Q on the Tabasco and 3 x $1.00 Qs for the Club crackers so $8.00 off so I paid $47.18 OOP.

I redeemed 100 points to get the Butterball turkey for .49¢ lb. and 100 points to get a party Stauffer's lasagna for -.01¢.  It was .99¢ after points and the cashier let me use a $1/1 Stouffer's party lasagna Q on it so I got paid 1¢ to take it home. 8-)))

I earned back $9.85 on Ibotta(.50¢ Tabasco, .75¢ Kaukauna cheese, 3 x .75¢ Club crackers, 2 x $1 Planters crunchers, $3 wyb Butterball turkey and 1 Lay's chips, $1.25 Johnsonville bfast sausage, .10¢ any item)and $9 in Bonuses(Turkey Trot, Gravy Train, Nov. Level 2)so totaling $18.85 in cash rebates and another $1 on Checkout51 for buy 2 Club crackers.

Hubs and I also went to Giant today to get the freebies there........

1 x Giant Butter=Free
1 x Doz. Giant Eggs=Free
1 x Box of Giant Stuffing Mix=Free
1 x Can of Giant Pumpkin=Free
1 x 35 ct. Bottled Water=Free *not pictured*
1 x 5 lb. bag of Russet Potatoes=Free

2 x Reddi Wip on sale=$4.00 *not pictured*
1 x Goya Jasmine rice=$3.19
3 x bags of Chiles=$5.37
SubTotal.......$22.56

I picked up the tea which was on sale, the Reddi Wip that we need for pumpkin pies and this Giant carries dried chiles and I was totally out so I bought 3 bags to restock my pantry.  I will get back .75¢ on Saving Star for the Goya rice and it tracks toward a $5 Goya cash rebate as well when you spend $25 on Goya.

We also hit Weis in the town Giant is in, since it was nearby and I still had Weis points to spend............

I had enough Weis points to get 3 more Holiday items-another large Lasagna for .99¢, a frozen turkey breast for .49¢ lb. and a smoked ham for .25¢ lb.
I also got a Well Yes! sipping soup which after my doubled coupon cost .17¢, a 4 pack of Bakery muffins which after my $1 coupon and 50% off cost $1.12, 3 x single OJs were $1.49 after my $1/3 Q, 9 x Pure Tea singles were $7.47, 2 x Goya dried pintos were $2.58, 2 x Goya tomato paste were $1.58.
I also did the Mix 'n Match Buy 6/Get $3 off...I got 1 x Dunkin Donuts Creamer, 2 x International Delight Creamers, 3 x Green Giant Veggies.  Those 6 cost me $9.47 after $3 Instant Off and the $1/2 International Delights ManuQ I used.
I also picked up 4 12-packs of Coke at 4 for $12.00.

I'll earn back another $1 on Ibotta and $3 on SavingStar for having now bought $12 worth of Pure Leaf tea singles bottles.
I am about $1.50 away from getting the $5 Goya rebate so I'll pick up another bag of dried beans or some Adobo.

I am now over $400 by about $35 for the month(sigh)but........

* I will have to buy very little food in December(milk, fresh produce).
* I have grown my cash rebates on Ibotta and SavingStar to $329.81 to cash out in Dec. to apply to groceries bought this year.(I am not even counting the Checkout51 since I am nowhere near the $20 cash out threshold.)
* These cash rebates doesn't even count all the refunds and "post coupon" cash I have accumulated in 2018 to also put toward the food bills. ;-)

Saturday Shopping

Hubs and I hit the town South of us for a little shopping on Saturday.  We don't usually go out on the weekend to stores but the weather was so crappy we figured not a lot of folks would be out as usual.....plus we were getting a bit stir crazy.  '-)

After the first two stops below we hit a Chinese buffet place for a cheap lunch out that we haven't been to in years.
While Hubs paid the bill before we left, I wandered over to this fountain in the lobby..........

I resisted dipping my hand in and scooping up a load of change, but if KIM had been with me, I doubt I'd have been able to hold her back from wading in said fountain. lololz

On to the shopping!
First we hit Giant and here are the best deals I got there.........

They had Eight O'Clock coffee BOGOFree($5.19)so I got 4 bags=$10.38
I used 2 x $2.25/2 IPQs so $4.50 off=$5.88 for all 4 bags or $1.47 per bag.
I would have gotten up to 12 bags but they didn't carry the variety that Ex-College Boy likes and since these Qs don't expire until 12/31/18 I'll wait for this coffee to go on sale at Weis and used them there.

They had a special over the weekend, buy up to 4 boxes of select types of Cheerios for .99¢ per box.
These maple ones were part of that special so I got 2 boxes to try them so $1.98 for both.
But I also used a $1/2 Cheerios digitalQ attached to my Giant card so they were .98¢ for both or .49¢ a box.  8-)

There was a coupon for London Broil at $1.99 lb. if you spent $15.  I spent $15 so I picked up the largest prepackaged LB they had(almost 3 lbs.)and paid $5.81 for a hunk of meat regularly marked $21.87.
They also had Giant brand cheese marked $1.77 over the weekend so I got 3 bags at $5.31.  I had a digitalQ attached to my card for $2 off wys $5 on store brand cheese so all 3 cost me $3.31 or $1.10+ per bag.

Total OOP at Giant was $36.63 on $91.89 reg. retail of products.


Then we hit Ollie's(Good Stuff Cheap!)and I hit the mother lode of 75% clearance items!!!

Everything I bought was 75% off!

2 x Avelina oatmeal .42¢ each
2 x Pop-Secret popcorn  .47¢ each (These are huge boxes!)
2 x Velveeta mac and cheese kits  .37¢ each (The kids will like this stuff)
2 x Velveeta skillets kids  .40¢ each(ditto)
1 x OEP taco shells  .25¢ each
4 x Marie Callender cornbread mixes  .32¢ each (I can't even make cornbread from scratch for that price.)
2 x Jello pudding  .20¢ each

3 x LOL Cappuccino K-pods  $1.00 each
2 x Maxwell House flavored coffee mix  .65¢ each

All the above came to $9.55, 75% off $38.20 Ollie's prices($61.30 reg. retail if bought elsewhere at full price).
I've hit my local Ollie's since Saturday at the above Ollie's and none of this stuff is on clearance there?????
So weird to find it 75% off at one store and not another......

We also hit Walmart for a few items of --a 2 lb. block of cheese, almond milk, frozen burritos x 2, coffee creamer.  $15.94 worth of food.  This stuff wasn't worth taking pictures of. lolz

They also had a mobile shelving unit of garden fertilizers for $1 per item by the door..........

I spent $5 on all this for next year's gardening.  Heck they were each marked $5 on clearance(before the $1 sale)so I know I got a great deal here!
It's all safely tucked away in the shed for next year.  ;-)
