Well shoot- it is nice and sunny outside which makes the inside of the house look like a cave.  Anyway- this was a good shopping trip and I couldn’t fit everything in one picture.  So I stopped at Raley’s, Safeway, CVS and Target.  I would not have hit all those stores except I needed to check some things for the blog.  So here goes:

RALEYS: $9.08

Dry Milk $3.29 (for bread machine)
Pretzels- free with store coupon
Fresh Express Salad .77 with store coupon
Celery $1.49
Green Onion $.77
Sweet Potato $1.28
Honey Gold Bagged Potatoes $2.50- used $2 coupon
Onion $.98
(I only stopped there to get more Maranatha Organic PB and sadly the price went back up to $5.29)

TARGET: $6.58
3 Huggies Wipes at .97 each- used $2/3 printable= .91 for 3 (These are perfect for your purse or the car!)
French’s Brown Mustard $.95- Used $.75/1 coupon= .20
Apple Cider Vinegar $1.12
Minute Rice $1.79- used .50 coupon= $1.29
6 Lean Gourmet Entrees .51 each on clearance! (I got a chicken wrap and a breakfast flavor)

Plus I found 2pks of Gerber Pjs for $2.48. These will go to the Sleep Train Foster Kids donation drive and are not part of my grocery budget.

SAFEWAY: $25.84

2 Kraft Mac and Cheese $.69 each
Scott Wipes $2.99- free with coupon (got this as a catalina a few weeks ago)
Eggs $1.99
Horizon Organic Milk Single $1- used $1 off coupon= Free
2 Open Nature Whole Wheat Bread $3.49
Asiago Filone Bread .99 (please go buy this, it is the best bread ever!)
Safeway 4lb Chicken Breast $5
Top Sirloin Steak $4.92- used $2/1 Rancher’s Reserve coupon
Red Pepper .50
Apples $1.70
Pineapple $1.97
Potatoes $1.40
Grape Tomatoes $3 (these are supposed to be my personal price of $1.89 or I wouldn’t have purchased them.)
Baby Carrots $1.25

CVS: .66

6 Honest Ade Tea $1.50 each- Used $1/2 coupons (these were tearpad coupons I have had for awhile)
4 Vitaminwater $1.50- used 2 BOGO coupons
Milk $2.99
Revlon Mascara and Liner $2.75
Revlon Nail Polish $1.45- used $5/2 Revlon coupon I got from the scanner

I did get the $5 credit and actually $1.69 toward each Vitaminwater. Plus CA has .05 CRV per bottle so the total was $10.66. I used a $10 ECB and paid .66.
I got a $5 ECB back for the Honest Ade and Vitaminwater.

PS: I am not including the Rite Aid trip this week because everything I bought will be donated- except the ice cream!  I will just roll the +Ups into a rebate for my money back.

    Well done! I overspent this week, but I bought a ton of Ranchers Reserve meat this week at Safeway and used a bunch of $2/1 coupons. In the end, the meat was a pretty good deal! Oh and we love the Sea Cuisine fish and when I was walking through that section I found a tear pad of $1/1 Sea Cuisine coupons so people might want to be on the look out for those!

    Cathy you can check your ad- it is Buy $15 in Kraft items and get $5 ECB back. There are several items included and the tea was $1.50 each I think. The ad didn’t mention Vitaminwater but it was included at my store.

    Hi there- just wondering what your weekly budget is? I’m actually trying to start a weekly budget, thinking $80 a week. I’m so bad about keeping track of what I spend. I only buy organic eggs, poultry, and most produce. I think I can do it! (I hope.)
