So, I actually got out and made it to Pick and Save this past Saturday. First, I had to go into town on Friday for my daughter. So, I stopped at Pick N Save and picked up the Gift Card Deal ( buy $30.00 in gift cards and get $5.00 in RR's). I picked up Starbucks so that I can use them for gifts.
Then on Saturday, I did $278 worth of groceries for $100.00. Just about 65%. People say you can't get healthy food with coupons. I got grapes, bread, apples, 3 bags of salad mix and lots more! I also got 6 pounds of ground beef, 10 packs of sandwich meat, and Italian sausage.
I did the Sauve/AXE deal and got another $5.00 RR. I also did the cereal deal and I got the $4.00 milk coupon. Since they had a store coupon for 2 milks for $5.00. I only paid $1.00 after the coupon was taken off. .50 cents a gallon! Yeah!
Overall, it was a great shopping trip. I figured a menu plan and we have enough meals and snacks to last 3 and a 1/2 weeks.
So, I budgeted $350 for about 4 weeks.

3/24 Walmart $5.77

Total : $284.83
