Here was the shopping for this week.  Not too bad considering the deals were seriously lacking this week.

I spent $54.85. See the breakdown below.

COSTCO: $23.28
Butter, Apricots, Bananas, 2 gallons milk, 10 lbs red potatoes

TARGET: $14.68
I went twice.
The first time I bought 2 Schick razors at $6.99- used (2) $5 coupons and got a $5 gift card back
Then I did a second transaction and bought a pack of Tassimo T-Disks for $5.04 and used the gift card. I paid .04.
I also found Johnson’s Baby Oil on clearance for $1.48 and used a $1 coupon.

Then I went today and bought the Kashi and found NY Bagel Chips for $1.86 on clearance. I used a $1 coupon and paid $10.18. I got a $5 gift card back.

SFWY: $7.82
Kraft Cheese Explosion- Free with coupon
Dijon Mustard $2.59
Asiago Cheese $1.99
Eggplant $1.99
8lbs Oranges $4.99
I used a $1 and $3 cat from prior transactions

CVS: $.44
I bought 1 Huggies diapers
and bought 3 kid’s DVDs at $4 on clearance- I used a peelie on the DVD for $5 off plus a $4/20 CVS coupon
I also had $9 in ECBs

RALEYS: $8.63

I bought 8 sweet corn at .50 each
The S’Mores items at .99- I used a $1 coupon to get them free
2 Honest Tea at $1.59- used .50 coupons
Salad $1.47- used $1 off salad when you buy Honest Tea coupon
2 bags Food Should Taste Good at $1.99- used $1 off coupons

So overall not too bad considering there just weren’t many deals this week.    Plus I have a $5 gift card for Target and $1.50 catalina from Raley’s for buying the Honest Tea!

How did you guys do this week?

    did you find it odd that Raley’s took off the top of the corn? I have never seen that before! It made it look like it was smaller than it really was….:(

    Some stores do that to get rid of the top portion that isn’t filled out with kernals..

    I guess some people aren’t getting the cat but it did print for me so not sure if it is regional or what.
