I scored some great deals on grocery items this week. I’ve noticed that stores seem to have the best deals at the very beginning of the month. So I tend to spend the majority of the grocery budget during the first couple weeks of the month, when things are on sale, and then we are pretty well set for the second half of the month (except for more produce).
I stocked up on canned tomatoes which were BOGO. I bought lots of the steam-in-the-bag frozen vegetables since they were on sale for $1.00 each. And I even bought Jesse more of his favorite snack, Oreo Cakesters, on sale 2 for $5.00. I was a little worried about how much the bill was going to be by the end of the store as I found more and more deals. But I came in well under budget even with all the fresh produce, meat, and cleaning supplies I needed.
Here are some of my bargains:
Cereal was on sale for BOGO, plus I had a coupon for $1.50 off three cereals. Regular price… $4.09 per box, my price… $1.67 per box! Jesse goes through these big boxes pretty quickly, so I refuse to ever pay regular price for them.
This yogurt was on sale for $1.00 each, plus I had a coupon for $1.00 off. Regular price… $1.50 each, my price… FREE! I’ve been wanting to try this yogurt for a while because I’ve heard it’s really yummy, but I’m not usually a big yogurt fan. I figured I can’t go wrong to try it for free.
Ham was on sale for $2.50 each, plus I had a coupon for $0.75 off. Regular price… $3.69 each, my price… $1.75. This ham is really good and one of the only lunch meats I’ve found that I’m able to eat. It’s more expensive because it’s all natural, but I always buy it when it’s on sale.
Deodorant was on sale for BOGO, plus I had a coupon for $0.50 off. Regular price… $3.49 each, my price… $1.49 each. I wasn’t out of deodorant yet, but this was such a good deal. I’ll be set for a while now!
These were also on sale for BOGO, plus I had a coupon for $2.50 off two boxes. Regular price… $4.29 each, my price… $0.89 each. I think that was my best deal out of the bunch.
Lastly, Windex was on sale for BOGO, plus I had a coupon for $1.00 off two bottles. Regular price… $3.39 each, my price… $1.19 each.
Thanks for sitting through my grocery store commercial, I just had to share how much I saved. You may now return to your regularly scheduled day. 😉
