Grocery Shopping--March 12, 2009

I'm not too terribly impressed with myself but will share.

Dillons (Kroger) is offering the special of buying 10 of the selected items and get $5 additional off your bill.  Limited to 3 transactions per order.

I did the offer twice getting these items: (parentheses shows the price with the additional .50 off) (and our coupons are doubled up to $1 in value)

2-Freshetta Pizzas on sale for $4.99 each-used 2-$1 coupons ($3.49 each)

4-Land O Lakes Spread on sale for $1.69-used 4-.55 coupons (.19 each)

4-Country Crock with Vitamin D and Calcium on sale for $1.69--used 3-.50 coupons (my mistake, I grabbed 4 and only had 3 coupons) (3 for .19 each, one for $1.19)

Quaker Rice snacks--on sale for .99-used $1 coupon (free plus .50 overage)

6- Dole Fruit Parfait cups--on sale for $2.29- used 1-$1 coupon and 2-.75 coupons--($1.29 each) plus I got a .75 coupon towards my next shopping trip

Kellogg's Mini Bite cereal--on sale for $2.50--used $1 coupon (.50)

Pillsbury Toaster Scrambles--on sale for $2.29, used .35 coupon ($1.19)

Betty Crocker Fruit snacks--on sale for $2.29--used .50 coupon (.79)

Other items I got:

Blue Bonnet stick--.77 not on sale

Ham $18.44--not on sale but I am making the soups at church next week for the Lenten service and will use part of it for a meal at home too.

Lunchable--on sale for $1.25

Sausage 1 lb roll-$1.59 not on sale

Kroger Brand salsa $3.19 not on sale

Tostitos $3.49 on sale (these 2 items plus the lunchable the downfall of taking my 12 yr old shopping with me)

Mozzarella cheese $2 on sale

Fresh Express Salad--marked down to .99 and I used $1 coupon

2-Green Giant Frozen potatoes--$2 per bag-used .60 and .40 coupons

2-Pillsbury Crescent rolls, on sale for $2.29 each, used $1 and .35 coupons (a mistake I made--I was to buy 3 to get a $1.50 coupon for my next shopping trip but somehow I messed up and only got 2)

2-Dole Mandarin Oranges on sale 1.50 each, used .75/2 coupon

4-12 packs of Coke products sale price $3.67 each--$1 instant off and used $2 coupon.

My total after coupons and sales was $71.60 which is $20 more than I really wanted to spend.

I also did this deal last week.  I won't list everything that I bought, but I got 10 of the items on the $5 off sale as well as 25 other items and only spent $36.76

Some of the good deals were Armour Meatballs on sale for $2.99--used $1 coupon plus they were part of the 10 so only $1.49 for the bag.  I combined a coupon for free pasta when buying the meatballs so got .97 bag of spaghetti free as well.

I also got more of the ice cream pints for just .49

The picture below is what I got today:
