I spent the morning today running around doing all kinds of errands and picking up deals and needed items for a graduation party we are having tomorrow for my daughter.
My first trip was Winn Dixie. I usually never go to different stores, but today I had the time and decided to run into each and cherry pick the deals I wanted. First stop...Winn Dixie to get the Tositos Scoops I needed for my party, 3 doz. eggs at a stock up price of $.99 each, Deans Chip Dip (large container) for $1.67, two 2-liter drinks at $1.00 each and 4 Colgate Toothpaste at just $.25 each. The toothpaste deal is a great stock-up price. The coupon states it is for a 4 oz. tube. Make sure you get the tubes on a table in front of the pharmacy that are labeled 33% more for free which makes it a 4 oz. tube.
TOTAL SPENT AT WINN DIXIE $11.99
Next stop...Publix. I picked up the Sargento Cheese, four of them, and paid $.72 each. Not the best price, but I wanted to add to my stock of cheese! Peter Pan Peanut Butter, 4 Olives, 2 Maries Dressing, Cantelope, Cake Mix, 9 Softsoap Hand Soap and 3 Bayer Advanced Aspirin (used RC) and paid $12.02. My total before coupons was $41.27!! I saved a total of 82% using sales and coupons!
Next stop...Food Lion. Gosh I hate that store! I don't know why anyone would want to shop there! The iceburg lettuce at $.99 each, peaches at $.88 lb. and chicken leg quarters for $.69 lb. drew me in. I also ended up buying a couple packages of boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.79 lb., 2 avacados, 2 cream cheese, and the snowflake rolls that were calling my name! I spent $29 there because of the meat.
Would I recommend doing this every week? NO!!! But I had the extra time this morning and just made quick it in and out in each store.
By the end of the weekend I will probably head to Walmart also because they have cherries at $1.99 lb. That is the price you want to buy them at! We LOVE cherries at our house so I will make the dreaded trip to Walmart to get them. I think we had to go there anyway for something else like car floor mats so it doesn't seem so painful!
The good part is I already had most of the things in stock that I needed for the party. I just needed a few things and incorporated it into my weekly shopping trip and paid about $53 for everything!
