My Shopping Day

I lead such an exciting life--grocery shopping, Rite-Aid shopping, gas station, bank.
Rinse and repeat every week mostly.

After the snow passed this morning, I headed out under sunny yet cold skies.

First off Rite-Aid...........

2 x Irish Spring Gear Body Wash on sale=$6.98
2 x Dove Men's Body Wash on sale=$8.00
1 x Vaseline lotion on sale=$2.99
SubTotal......$17.97

1 x $1/1 Dove Men's Body Wash IPQ(NLA)=$1.00
1 x $1.50/1 Vaseline CatalinaQ(no size restriction)=$1.50
Coupon Total.....$12.50

$17.97-$12.50=$5.47 + .02¢tax=$5.49

After Qs the Irish Spring Gear is -.51¢ each bottle, so make sure you have other items in your transaction to cover the overage.

I used $5 in +Up Rewards and paid .49¢ OOP.
I received back $4 in new +Ups($2 wyb2 Dove Men's, $2 Vaseline).
And the Catalina machine spit out another Vaseline Q.....

Can you say more free Vaseline? ;-)


$27.85 in items brought home.
.49¢ spent OOP.
$4 in new +Ups

*****************************************

Then it was off to Weis(PMITA)Market to earn another $10 oyno Catalina Q......

10 x Maxwell House coffee on sale=$29.90
1 x Velveeta skillet meal on sale=$2.00
1 x Special K crackers on sale=$1.87(for .87¢ after Q I'll try them)
Total.............$33.77

There was a $1/1 Peelie Q on the crackers which made my total $32.77 OOP.

I received another $10 oyno CatalinaQ for buying the coffee and skillet box meal........

Savings rate of 26%(before getting the $10 Cat).
$44.38 in products.


Then I went back inside and spent one of my 4 $10 oyno Cats......

3 x Gorton's grilled fish 50%off=$9.97
4 x 8 o'clock coffee BOGOFree=$10.98
SubTotal........$20.95

When you buy 3 Gorton's items in 1 transaction you also get $2 Instant Discount, making my total $18.95 at this point.
Then there are the coupons I used.........
2 x .75¢/1 Gortons grilled itemsIPQ(doubled to $1)=$2.00
1 x .50¢/1 Gorton's grilled item ManuQ(doubled to $1)=$1.00
2 x $1.50/1 8 o'clock coffee IPQ=$3.00
Coupon Total........$6.00

$18.95-$6.00=$12.95
I used the $10 off CatQ so my OOP was $2.95.
That's a 92% savings rate.
$41.93 in products.

The 8 o'clock coffee bags were $3.99 for 2.
The fish cost me $1.66 per box.
But after using the $10 Cat it came to $2.95 for all.

Weis Totals--
Total spent.....$35.72
Total products...$86.31
A 58.62% savings rate combined.
And $10 Cat for free stuff next time.

Weis has turkey breast for .98¢ lb. this week and I will buy as many as I can fit in the freezer this week.
I'll go back for more 8 o'clock coffee(as I have more Qs), some smoked sausage($1.50 a pkg. after sale/Q)and canned tomatoes(.55¢ a can after sale/Q) plus a few more things.

Printed off some more Hatfield Qs and went by Weis on the way to other errands this morning......

2 x Hatfield sausage meat on sale $3.20=$6.40
1 x Weis Dish soap on sale=$2.00

Coupon Total.....$11.00

$31.67-$11.00=$20.67 + .19¢ tax=$20.86 OOP

My sales and coupon savings on the receipt came to $26.07 so I saved more than I spent.
A savings rate of 55%.

I got those CatalinaQ 2 weeks ago and wanted to use them before they expired next week.
The dish soap was .50¢ and the OJ $1 and $16.68 worth of TP for $7.88.  The large package was 1 cent short of a $9 purchase so I threw in that single roll.....that was the cheapest way to get to $9.
I have to say this is the first time in 3-4 years I've actually paid money to buy TP.  ;-)
