Super Saving Saturday

I waited ALL WEEK to grocery shop. Bobby was away and I was trying to avoid taking all three kids out to the store. We did pretty good all week, but by Friday we were out of milk. It was wind and rainy that day and a friend offered to run out and pick some up for me. Thank goodness for good neighbors.
Waiting until the end of the week to shop gives me plenty of time to finalize my list and match my coupons. I used to get my ad on Sundays and run out right away to shop. That usually resulted in multiple trips to the store throughout the week to pick up the stuff I forgot or needed 'all of a sudden.'
Gaint put out some great coupons this week! They had some coupons 'hidden' on the website - $2 off $5 meat purchase, $2 off $5 produce purchase and $2 off a $5 bakery purchase. I also had a coupon for $5 off $50 that was in my ad last week.

So, without futher ado, here is this weeks grocery picture:
Total: $124.17
Total after bonus card and coupons: $53.92
I split my order into 2 so that I was able to use 2 of the meat and produce coupons. I came in $10 under budget this week - including my trip to Wegman's earlier in the week for a apples, oj, and ravioli.

Freebies this week: Hall cough drops were 10/10. I had coupons for $1 off 1. FREE! Colgate toothbrushes and tooth pastes were .99. I scooped up 2 of each and had .50 coupons that doubled. Stride gum was still on sale 3 packs for $2. I had one coupons left for $2 off 3packs. More FREE gum.
Other good deals: LOL butter was 2/5, minus $1q. Lysol wipes were 2/4 minus $1q/ Giant eggs were 1.19 and I had a coupon for .50 off eggs.
After I got home I noticed that I did not get my $4 instant savings for buying 4 general mills cereals. Guess I'll have to go back and get my money back on that one.

After Giant, I headed to CVS. I got everything below for .11 and made $2 in extra bucks.
