Yes, it's official.
I have sunk my food budget for June.
With 4 more days to go, I have spent $374.77.
I was doing ok until I decided to buy fresh lobsters for Hubs and I as a belated Happy Father's Day present last week. $42.98 later and my budget was officially shot to heck.
After that I figured I might as well do some more damage....what could it hurt, right?lol
I had 2 $7 Catalina Qs for Weis Markets that were expiring on July 2nd. As there were 2 Catalina Promotions last week(ended 6/25)at Weis, I went ahead and rolled them instead of waiting until this week and hoping there would be a Catalina Promotion this week.
I'm glad I didn't wait as there are no Cat Deals at Weis this week! 8-)
I took advantage of a few good deals while I was there, so here is what I bought on Saturday....
One Cat Deal was Buy $20/Get $7 Cat Q.
I bought 2 large bags of charcoal(not pictured)and the Clorox Clean-Up Spray.
After the $7 Cat Q I used I spent $11.98 on these items(plus tax)and received another $7 Cat Q.
The other Cat Deal was GM products, Buy $35/Get $10 Cat Q.
I bought--2 Chex cereal, 5 Chicken/Tuna Helper, 4 Suddenly Salad, 3 Totino's pizzas, 2 Froot by Foot.
After the other $7 Cat Q and other Qs, I spent $11.50 and received a $10 Cat Q.
There was a double dip as well on the Helper....buy 5 and get a $2 OYNO off of meat Cat Q.
I also picked up 3 blocks of Helavu Good cheese on sale for $2 each. My .50/1 IPQs doubled to $1/1, so my cheese was $1 a block after Qs.
The muffins had a 50% off sticker so were $2.25 a pack.
The bags of salad and strawberries were both BOGO.
The Perdue ground chicken was on sale for $3 and each package had an instant $1.50 discount meat sticker making them $1.50 each.
I picked up 2 bags of frozen mushrooms on sale for $1 each. This price made them a better deal than fresh or the canned ones.
The only item I paid reg. retail for was the bag of bagels for $2.99, but by the bag they were less than buying them individually. ;-)
Reg. retail on all would have been $105.17 and I paid $47.88 after sales and Qs.
The Catalina items cost me $23.48 and I received $19 in Catalina Qs back.
Now I'm going to try to stay out of the grocery store for 4 more days.
Wish me luck!lol
