Then after track it was off to Albertson's to see what I could find. K.S. was soooo right, there are some definite holes in their stock due to problems at the warehouse. Ketchup? nope. Manwich? Nope Bagelfuls? Nope It made it really hard to make the Con Agra sale work since it needed to be in $25.00 increments. I didn't want to spend all my money on 25 cans of Ro-Tel, even though I wanted SOME. In the end I spent $57.62 and saved $98.64 from retail prices. Nothing that made my pennies scream by any means. I used $36.50 in coupons, and that my friends pays for the paper! The highlights of this one for me was the Kraft Salad Dressing = FREE!!! and I loaded up on Frozen Healthy Choice dinners.
I am not sure if this will be a good thing or not. It is promoted as health food, and I am not sure if my DH will try them, but right now he is eating two meals a day away from home during his work week, so it is worth a try. I paid 20 cents for the first two and 70 cents for the others because I had different coupons.
All and all I didn't really stock up on a whole lot because #1, I am replenishing product that is already on my pantry shelves, and #2, I am really crossing my fingers that we will see 33 cents for Betty Crocker again......I can hope!!!
Anyway I asked K.S. to post her shopping trip on the blog because she did WAY better than I did when she went in the a.m. she ran into some couponers that were really organized . She got a pretty good deal on flour which is always nice.
Overall, I am happy with my trip....kinda. Yogurt will be eaten as a staple in my house, and maybe the Healthy Choice will be a good thing, but overall there is a sore lack of staples on this trip, and really that should be a main focus. Thus I was disappointed about the lack of ketchup, etc that I mentioned before.
Heads up though, we might see *Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce* uNdEr a dollar sometime in the next few weeks. That is the price to beat, cross your fingers!!!
