Organic Heirloom Tomatoes $2.99
Organic 3pk Romaine Lettuce $.99
4 Mangoes $.88 each

Target Trip #1

I actually made 2 Target trips last week because I needed cold medication halfway through the week. It worked out because those new coupons came out midweek making that cereal deal even better.

Pretzel Crisps $1.99- used $1 coupon= $.99
8 Boxes Crunchy Nut Cereal $2.75- Used (2) $4/4 cereal coupons + (2) $1/3 Target cereal coupons
2 boxes NutriGrain bars $2.50- Used $1/2 coupon + $1/2 Target coupon
My subtotal after coupons was $15.99 but I had the $5 gift card from the last cereal transaction

So I paid $10.99 and got back $10 in gift cards!

Target Trip #2 $2.80

And today I stopped back by the check prices and got the following:

2 Market Pantry Whole Wheat Pasta $.98- Used $1/2 coupon= $.48
2 Market Pantry Pasta Sauce $1.00- Used $1/2 coupon= $.50
Pretzel Crisps $1.99- used $1 coupon= $.99
2 Archer Farms Whole Wheat bread $2.50- used $1.2 Target coupon= $2 each
Irish Cheddar Cheese $3.99
6 cans of Market Pantry Soup $.64- used (2) $1/3 coupons= .31 each

Subtotal was $12.80 and I used those $10 gift cards

Now most of the Target stuff is actually for a food drive at school. I just set aside $10 in total to see how much I could get. I still have two weeks to pick a few things up here and there and I will post what I came up with for the $10 once I am done.

So the grand total was $48.56.

And here is the menu plan for the week:

• Aged Cheddar and Cauliflower Soup with french bread
• Steak Bites and Salad
• Baked Chicken Parmesan  and leftover salad
• Grilled Tilapia with mango and rice
• Chicken Taco Rice (from Simple & Delicious magazine)
• Grilled Heirloom Tomato Pizza

I also made up a big batch of iced coffee this weekend.
