Shopping Trip - Saved 80%

Here's what I got for my $60 this week. I am very excited with my purchases and savings, particularly my drug store deals. To see coupon matchups click on the store name.

CVS & WALGREENS: This week both stores had BIG money maker (MM) deals. I bought Dr. Pepper (2.50), razors (0.82), reed diffuser (MM) and a green tag (0.99). Everything at Walgreens was a MM (Theraflu, Triaminic, Zantac, Emergen C).

They reset the $2 Nestle coupon so I was able to print 4 more. I did the candy deal at CVS and got all this candy for FREE.

Regular Price: $131.26
OOP: $19.01 + 15RR +13 ECBs
Earned: 37.50 RR + 14.99 ECBs
Saved: $136.74 or 104%
Actual Cost: -5.48

KROGER: Turns out there were several Catalina deals to go along with my purchases today. I have updated the weekly deals post with this info. I bought OJ (1.00), milk (1.00), org. milk (2.79), choc. milk (3.29), biscuits (MM), granola bars (0.50), honey bunches (0.75), chili spice (0.49), soap (1.15), eggs (0.98), grapes (1.28 lb), pork chops (1.27 lb), broccoli (1.88 lb), watermelon (1.46), bread (0.78).

Regular Price: $81.89
OOP: $43.03 + 1 Catalina
Earned: 8 Catalinas
Saved: $45.83 or 56%
Actual Cost: $36.03

PUBLIX: 1st picture is deals from last week (I found more coupons). I bought Snuggle (FREE), peanut butter (0.17), pizzas (0.50 - eaten before photographed). Don't ya just love my model?!

This week I bought Doritos (2.00), Tylenol (0.59), gelatin (MM), ravioli (FREE - rang up wrong).

Regular Price: $18.71
Saved: $16.33 or 80%
Actual Cost: $3.73

FOOD LION: Here I bought ground beef (0.88 lb - WOW!), chicken (3.60), buns (0.27), eggs (FREE), mango (0.99).

Savings: 18.79 or 50%
Actual Cost: 18.34

ALDI: I bought beans (0.59), choc syrup (1.24), lunch meat (2.69), ibuprofen (0.99). I love that Aldi has regular every day low prices but there is no way for me to calculate my savings. :( I will include this in my budget total but not my percentage.

Actual Cost: 12.03

Grand Totals:
Regular Price: 268.99
Savings: $216.37 or 80%
Actual Cost: $52.62 + $12.03 (ALDI) = $64.65
