This week was a little sad as far as sales go--especially since I keep reading about the amazing promotions running this week back at the stores I used to shop at in Utah.
But it was probably a good thing since this week I wanted to keep the total low to compensate for last weeks big shopping trip. There was a decent P&G promo at Copps/Pick'N'Save (Buy $35 of P&G products save $10 OYNSO-On Your Next Shopping Order) which I combined with the usual Double Daze deal (double 5 coupons up to $1 on Wed. with a minimum purchase of $25). There was also a dove promotion going (save $5 OYNSO when you buy $15 of Dove products) to which I added a few other things to bring my total above $25 to double some more coupons.
Since I have been out here I have done four or five $25 tranactions each week at Copps, so it was weird only doing 2 today. I was in and out so quick! I also needed a couple other things for dinners this week, so I picked up a few other things from Piggly Wiggly, and Festival Foods.
Here's what I got:
As you can see, there aren't many food items. but since i've been stocking up so much the past few weeks, we really only needed a couple of ingredients here and there for the meals I have planned. This is one of the great things about stocking up when prices are dirt cheap; I am no longer at the mercy of the retailers and I can basically miss a week and still have good food to eat. I didn't have time to make it to my last store, so i need to pick up a couple other things, but this week should be about $40 (my goal is about $55/week). I think I did pretty good this week, considering the lack of good sales!
I also was able to utilize two "Free" coupons for crest Pro-Health toothpaste, and for Always Infinity pads. These came in very handy to help me get my total up to $35 for the P&G promotion without having to spend more money out of pocket. I explain more about maximizing the value of Free coupons here.
