Whew- I took advantage of a toddler free afternoon to get some shopping in!

Safeway:
Folgers $8.99
Ritz x4 $8.05 (used (2) $2/2 MQ)
Birdseye Veggies x 3 $9 (used 3 free wyb Steamfresh meal q)
Birdseye Steamfresh Meals x3 $14.97 (used (3) $2/1 MQ)
Hawaii Own Juices x2 $2
Sfwy Wheat Bread 1.99 (used 1/1 store q)
Beef Cube Steak $3.91 (used 2/1 store q)
Waterfront tarter sauce $2 (used $2/1 store q)
Total was around $52 before coupons and AFTER club card. Also used $10/50 store coupon, $10 chill at home catalina. Paid $8.79 on a gift card* and got another $10 catalina for next time.

*I have a Rx for prenatal vitamins and transferred it to Safeway and got a $30 gift card. I paid $15 for the Rx to net a $15 profit. I count the $15 Rx cost toward my budget which left me $15 to spend this week.

Walmart:
Johnson’s Buddies Soaps x3 $2.91 (used (3) 1/1 MQ)
Baking Soda x2 $1.08 (used (1) 1/2 IP)*
*There were also .46 boxes that would have given me overage but I prefer to take the easy road and pay .08 than have a possible fight with a snippy cashier.
Cooking Spray $1.68
Walnuts $1.04
Quaker Quakes x2 $2.74 (used (2) $1/1 MQ)
Quaker Chips $1.37 (used 1/1 MQ)
Paid $4.03

Walgreens:
I did three transactions-
#1 Huggies Natural Fit Diapers x 2 $20.00 (used (2) $3/1 IP)
Huggies 184 ct pack $6.00 (used 5/1 IP)
Pizza Bites on Clearance $.25 each x 3

Paid $17.64, Got a $10 catalina for my next purchase

#2 Ink Cartridge Refill* $5
Samy Shampoo $5.99
Samy Conditioner $0 (BOGO sale)
Total $11.79- used $10 catalina Paid $1.79
#3 Tyson’s anytizers $.87
kicking myself for not cutting the .55/1 MQ from this week’s inserts.
Paid $.87

*We budgeted $10 for the ink cartridge refill from another account and I did the Huggies deal anticipating using the catalina for that. I didn’t realize the cartridges were on sale for $5 this week so I quickly grabbed the Essencia by Samy shampoo which was $5.99 with a TMF rebate attached. Turns out it was BOGO so I grabbed a conditioner. Had I taken the time to read the rebate I would have grabbed a styler instead which would have netted an extra $3 rebate or $8.99 total. As it stands I paid $1.79 total and will get $5.99 back.

Grand Total $29.33- I also have a $3.00 rebate that arrived so I will make a quick trip to Costco on Monday to get a block of cheddar cheese.
I will get $5.99 back from the shampoo and $1.50 back from Caregivers for the diapers.
