It is almost the New Year, what are your resolutions for the year. Mine is to be more diligent about posting to this blog (sorry 
). In reality though, I have not been doing much grocery shopping. It was nice not to “have” to go to the store (only for essentials like milk ans eggs). I was able to save almost 40% on my Christmas dinner grocery visit. So, this week I made a couple of stops and would like to share some of the great deals I found this week.
TARGET
I decided to shop Target because they have GREAT after Christmas sales. If you did not already know, Target also has a toy clearance in January. Be on the look out for toys prices 30-75% off their original price. Unfortunately, my Target still had Christmas items at 50% off and the toys were only 30%, I will try again later this week. All in all I did pretty well. I spent 34.59 oop for $55.39 in merchandise. Here is what I bought:
2 Method (Christmas) Hand Soaps – marked down to $2.54 – used 2-$2 off Q’s
Cascade 2 in 1 tabs – used $1/1 Q
Birthday Gift (no Q’s)
Princess and the Frog Book (no Q’s, but made little girl VERY happy)
2 – Glad Force Flex Garbage Bags – on sale for $5.99 – used 2 $1/1 and 2 Target $1/1
Dog Shampoo (no Q’s)
2 – Rolaids 3 Packs – $2.64/ea – used 2-$2/1 Q’s
Trio Toy – on clearance for $2.64 from $4.99
Plus, Target will give you $0.05 for each reusable bag you use at checkout. I know it is not much, but it is something!
CVS
This was probably one of my favorite shops this week! I brought my checkout total down from $45.45 to $3.68!!! I LOVE when that happens. So your next question is HOW DID YOU DO THAT? Well, this week CVS is giving away $5 ECB for the Bayer Glucose system, so that is a big part, plus I used the $5 off $30. Not only did I only pay $3.68 oop, I took home $9.00 to use on other items….so I MADE money on the deal! Here is what I got:
1 – Bayer Blood Glucose Monitoring System – used $30/1 Q (adjusted to $14.99)
2 – Pantene Shampoos – used 1 $3/2 Q
3 – Dawn Dish Liquid – used 3 – $1/1 Q’s (FREE ITEM)
1 Gallon McArthur Milk
1 – Colgate Toothpaste – used $1/1 Q (FREE ITEM after ECB)
1 – 3 Pack Ivory Soap – used $1/1 Q – from 12/27 P&G insert (FREE ITEM)
I also had $1 ecb that I used on the purchase in addition to the $5/$30 (from using my green bag tag). All in all, $3.68 for the above is A OK in my book, since milk usually costs just that.
WINN DIXIE
I normally do not shop Winn Dixie – I only have time for so many stores, but I could not pass this one up (plus had some free time). Winn Dixie is running a meal deal promotion. If you purchase two Tombstone pizzas for $11.58, you get 4 other items for free. So, I paid $11.58 for $25.25 in groceries. Here is the deal:
2 Tombstome pizzas
FREE ITEMS:
1- 2 Liter Coke Product
1 – Winn Dixie Brand Garlic Bread
1 – Bryers Ice Cream
1 – Farmrich Mozzerella Sticks
Pretty cool!
PUBLIX
Since I had been out of town, I was not able to cash in on the Publix deals. I went today to grab a few things and to cash in on my $5/$50 Q before it expired tomorrow. BE ON THE LOOK OUT – Publix always has calendars at the beginning of the year (they are free) and they have GREAT coupons in them. Be sure to grab a calendar!
At Publix, I spent $25.33 oop for $89.46 in groceries. Here is what I bought:
4 – Scotch Mailing Envelopes – used 4- $1/1 Q’s
2.57 LB Bananas – They are $0.39/lb this week!
4 3LB bags of Purina Beneful – used 4 – $2.50/1 Q’s
