I ordered and picked up some groceries today (Tuesday, February 10).
I needed more half and half for my daughter's coffee, more bananas, and another loaf of sandwich bread.
I was out of pancake mix and ketchup so I bought a new box of pancake mix (paying regular price for it) and a bottle of ketchup (on sale this week with digital coupons).
The smoked sausages were on sale with a digital coupon and a "best customer" coupon, at a stock up price (which used to be the old regular price about 5 years ago). I bought the maximum 5 allowed to stock up.
The store brand bagels were free with a "best customer" coupon, so, of course, I had to get a package!
Butter was also on sale with a digital coupon and I decided to get two pounds of unsalted butter.
The unsalted peanuts are my "go to" snack, these days, so I went ahead and bought two cans.
My groceries would have cost me $77.43 if I had paid full price for everything. By shopping the sales, mostly, I saved $35.44.
I've posted the receipt below.
Order Summary
Item Details
15 Items
Other Fees
$0.30
Total spent = $42.29
In addition, I pcicked up a box of cereal for $0.49 at the pharmacy, last week. I had gone to the pharmacy to pick up a medication refill that was ready and I had a $2 "extra care bucks" coupon. Cereal was on sale for $2.49 a box (apparently, that is their new sale price; previously, it would be on sale for $1.99 a box), so I bought a box of cereal for $0.49 with my $2.00 off coupon.
My February grocery budget is $250 plus $57.42 carried over from January = $307.42
Total spent to date = $99.37 + $0.49 + $42.29 = $142.15
Balance left in the budget = $307.42 - $142.15 = $165.27
As always, I am grateful for:
- Being able to order groceries online and pick up the same day
- The availability of groceries
- Sales and coupons
- A safe drive to the store and back
- A working fridge/freezer and electricity to run it
How is your grocery shopping coming along?
