" Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." - Will Rogers
There has been lots going on in my head, and with me in general.
I cleaned out the freezers and took some time to do some stocking up on items that we will use for the next few months. Here are my purchases over the last couple of days:
1x Sirloin Tip Roast, $ 11.66
1x Package Ground Beef, $11.06
8x 1 lb Unsalted Butter, $23.04
2x McCain Frozen Cream Pies, $2.58
1x 10 lb bag potatoes, $1.88
3x 1L Oasis 100% juice, $2.97
3x Pillsbury Apple Turnovers, $6.00
8x Dr. Oetker Frozen Pizzas, $24.00
4x Knorr Rice/Pasta Mixes, 4.00
1 each chicken & beef bullion cubes, $3.00
3x Glad Cling Wrap, $3.00
3x Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry Cereal, $9.00
2x Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, $3.74
2 lb bag Macintosh Apples, $2.00
3x 90-100 count bagged frozen cooked shrimp, $9.00
There was a lot more, but I don't want to bore you with the details. However, I'm not done with the shopping just yet.
Tomorrow and Sunday, Shopper's Drug Mart is having a 'Spend Your Points Event' , where you get additional dollar amounts in free purchase if you redeem your points over 50,000.
I've combined their sales items from the flyer, along with redeeming 50,000 of my accumulated points. If I've done my math correctly, I will get $100.99 (before taxes) of products for $14.12.
I like to think of it as my version of Extreme Couponing, without the actual coupons, lol!
Products purchased will be:
4 x 2kg bags of sugar @ $1.99 each
4 x Life Brand 2-roll paper towels @ $0.49 each
4 x 24 roll Royale Toilet Tissue @ $5.99 each
2 x Oral B Children's Toothpaste @ $1.88 each
2 x Herbal Essences hair care @ 2/$5.00 each
4 x Vim Cream Cleanser @ $0.99 each
1 x Aleve Tablets @ 9.99
1 x 4 pk Tic Tacs @ $3.49
1 x 320 count Pampers Baby Wipes @ $9.99
2 x Sunsilk shampoo (with free 355 ml conditioner) @ 3.99 each
2 x Balea 2-in-1 Kids Shampoo/Bodywash @ 3.99 each
1 x Trident gum, 4 pack $2.99
2 x Pringles Chips @ 1.99 each
This will give me a head start on some of the stocking stuffers that I typically buy for Christmas, along with a few things to stock up on.
I'm hoping that this weeks shopping excursions will help to lower our costs overall for grocery spending and planned holiday spending.
Have you been shopping this week?
Lucky you to get 10lbs of potatoes for $1.88. It's not near that here :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just staying away from the stores. Though I'll have to shop tonight :( If I'm carful though this months food bill will be around 900 which is better than last months 1,000. I still would like to get it down to 800 but I have teenage boys with hollow legs so....
I was checking out the Shoppers flyer and I'm going to buy butter too! @ 2.99/lb, I'll have enough frozen to last a while. I'd like to have enough stocked for the winter, so I may have another trip there next Friday!
ReplyDeleteI love that quote :)
