Whoa is me.
Or rather Whoa is my November food budget......
I don't even want to add it all up this month.
It is going to be bad.
I may have topped $500 already this month and it ain't over. 8-(((
Dang Weis(PMITA)Markets for running this Kraft Deal and for all the other great sale prices this month!
I went back to Weis last night and got 3 more packs of OM bacon for $3.32 a pack as I updated on my last Weis post.
Then Hubs and I went back this morning......
I got 3 more packs of bacon, this time Reduced Sodium. 9 packs of bacon are now resting comfortably in my freezer.
And then Hubs went through the register and got 5 cans of coffee.
Since the Deal is based off the reg. shelf price if he got the $5.69 priced cans he only had to buy 5 to exceed the $25 threshold. These were all on sale for $2.99 and after the $5 instant discount came off they cost us $1.99 each.
Sweet.
With the other items we also bought, I saved 56% and Hubs saved 65% over regular retail on our transactions.
It's all I can do NOT to jump in the car and go and run back for more coffee at that price! ;-)
Then we went to the local market and spent $35 to get a .47¢ a lb. turkey. Their system wouldn't let me use coupons and still get the discount price on the turkey. What a mess it was figuring that out since the staff can't do math in their heads! They eventually had to enter things manually to override the computer, and it was a big brew-ha-ha and I STILL think I overpaid a bit but I left there with $93.07 in food for $37.37 so I can live with it. 8-)
This included 2 applesauce packs, 4 bags croutons, fried onion rings, 3 large cans of tomatoes, 2 brownie mixes, a MC pie, 1 pack of pumpkin cake donuts, a gallon of milk, 1/2 lb deli meat, 1/2 gal. OJ, sour cream, 3 whipped cream, a large bottle of sea salt, 6 bags of premium frozen veggies and a 16 lb. turkey.
Then it was off to Kohl's armed with $30 in Kohl's cash(which has to be spent before Turkey Day)and a 20% off discount pass. We got Hubs a new pair of $75 dress shoes, after sale and discount and KCash cost us $11.99. Then I got $185 worth of clothing for #2 Son on clearance for $47.99 and after the 20% discount paid $38.39 out the door for that load.
Total value of goods today....$429.43
Cash OOP......$118.14
72% savings rate on all.
Now I'm off to go record my spending in the notebook and have a stroke after I add it all up. lolz
