This is quite a lot of food for how little I spent- I am pretty pleased with this week- not pictured 10 lbs of 80% lean ground beef..
.
Raleys:
.
Whole Wheat Bread $1.69 w/ store coupon
Fresh Pet Dog Food– $3.99- used FREE coupon from Safeway coupon book
Dannon Activia- $1 after coupon- will also submit rebate for free yo plus
2 Pepperidge Farm Cookies– $1.88 w/ store coupon- used $1 off printables
Swiss Cheese and Pepperjack Cheese– $1.50 each after store coupon and manufacturer coupon
10 lbs of 80% lean Ground Beef (yes 10 lbs!)- 12.24
(3) Bush’s Black Beans & (2) Garbanzo– .79/can- used $1/5 from Safeway coupon book
(I eat a ton of beans since I am vegetarian and this is a really good price)
4 Cantaloupe– they were .10 a lb!
Rotisserie Chicken– FREE*
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy– FREE*
Potato Wedges– FREE*
Dinner Rolls– FREE*
.
Total $20.48
.
Now if you aren’t familiar, Raley’s is a fairly expensive chain and this much food would have easily cost me double at a lower end store. I am convinced I save more money by shopping high end stores. The coupons are more generous and loss leaders are incredible.
*I got a coupon in last week’s paper for $5 off- I used that as well and I got a coupon when I moved for $10/40 (I’ll use next week) and a FREE chicken dinner from the deli. I got these same coupons when we moved a few years ago and as I recall they sent me several over the course of a few months. Keep em comin’ Raleys!
.
Next stop CVS:
.
1 gallon milk $2.29- used $.50 Real CA milk coupon
Used .99 ECB and paid .80!
Also got $1 ECB back
.
Then Safeway:
.
4 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks 4/$4 w/ in ad coupon
Sfwy 2L– .83
Honest Earth Mashed Potatoes– on clearance for $1.49 and they have a full rebate HERE
Fresh Pet Dog Food $3.99- used FREE coupon from Safeway
Bagels $1.99
Welch’s Juice– $1.99 w/ in ad coupon- used $1 printable
(2) Bacon Cheddar 93% Lean Ground Burger Patties– $3.91-30% off (As I have told you before Safeway always has incredible markdowns on meat. I never know what I am going to get but the deals make it worth the hunt!)
.
Total was $8.42 and I got a $2.50 catalina from Betty Crocker and a $1.49 rebate
.
I also had a quick trip to Whole Foods I will post separately.
