Shopping Trip

Here is the shopping trip for this week.  The total was $42.44 but basically half of that was just organic milk, coffee and cheese.  I got some great Sprout’s coupons in the mail so I decided to wait until Wednesday to pick up a few more things to maximize those coupons.  I have $5 left from CVS and $3 from Safeway.

Target $.54

2 Sharpie $1- used $1 coupons= Free
2 Papermate pens $1.02- used $1 coupons= .02 each
2 clearance hair clips from Dollar Spot $.25 each

Walgreens $1.98
*I wouldn’t have made this extra trip but I literally park in front of Walgreens when I go to the gym.
2 Huggies wipes $.99 after coupons

CVS $2.68

Zyrtec $5.99- Used raincheck for $5 ECB and used $5 printable= $4 moneymaker
Aleve $4.69- I wanted to get something I needed and to use the $3/10 Healthcare coupon so $1.69
8 Seattle’s Best coffee $1.49 each- used Free item coupons= Free
I also spent $8 on office supplies for my husband’s business which is not part of my grocery budget.
Use $5/30 CVS coupon from email.

Total was $10.68 including the $8 for the hubs- so $2.68 for all above and I have a $5 ECB for next time.  Yeah!

Raley’s $17.17

15 Powerade $10 (it is seriously hot here and my husband takes these to his soccer games)
4 Corn on the Cob $1.00
2 lbs Strawberries- Free with store coupon
Johnsonville Sausage- Free with store coupon
Mt Olive Pickles $1.99- used $.75 store coupon and $.75 coupon= $.49
Organic Milk $5.68 (forgot to put in picture)

AND Safeway is right next to CVS so I popped in for the Organic Strawberries this week.

2lbs Organic Strawberries $5.00- used $.50 coupon and $1 store coupon= $3.50
2 Dulcinea Watermelons $1.49 (personal price from Just for U)- note the price is cheaper if you have the coupons from the 7/10 RP
Seattles Best $6.99
Cheerios- Free with store promotion
Tillamook Cheese $6.60 (personal price from Just for U)

Total was $20.07 and I should be getting $3 back for the coffee.
