The Reluctant Clipper - February 23, 2011 Edition

Not a bad week at all! I love weeks when the sales match up with what I'm craving! :-)

Total amount spent for this week's groceries and household supplies: $39.71
Total amount saved: around $55 (I lost one of my receipts, so I remember how much I spent but not exactly how much I saved)

Kraft Mac and Cheese - This has been my biggest craving this whole pregnancy! So of course, I was so excited when they went for a really good deal this week! I got the 5-packs for about $2.50/pack making the individual boxes around $0.50/each!
Bread - $0.49/loaf on managers special. We've been going through a ton of bread lately!
Campbell's Chunky Soup - Around $0.75/can
Hefty zip freezer bags - I can't remember exactly what I paid for these, but they were the same price as Walmart's "great value" freezer bags - which aren't that great of a value.


Chicken Breast - $1.99/lb. That price is pretty standard out here for boneless skinless chicken breasts, but we love it when it goes for $1.99/lb at Sunflower Market. Their chicken is so much thicker, juicier and tastes significantly better in our opinion. Plus I trust the quality of their meats more than the big name stores.

Kraft Cheese Singles - $0.50/package. Can you say SCORE?! :-)
Bar S Bologna - $0.50/package. Justin was pretty excited because now he gets to make his favorite red-neck food this weekend: Bologna Boats. :-P :-)
Ragu Pasta Sauce - $0.75/jar

This deal was fun. I had some catalinas to use up at King Soopers and saw I could get Knorr Noodle Sides for $0.50/package. We were also out of margarine, so I grabbed some on my way to the checkout. After combining sales, coupons and my catalina, my total out of pocket for all of the above items was $0.67!!!

This weeks freebies after sales and coupons were 2 Dove deodorants and 3 Colgate toothpastes. I only kept one of each and gave the other ones away because we don't have room to do tons of stockpiling. You always have to be careful when offering people deodorant and toothpaste - but thankfully nobody seemed too offended. lol. ;-)
