STOCK-UP PRICE ON BONELESS CHICKEN AT FOOD LION

Make room in your freezers! Hopefully since the Thanksgiving Turkey has been cooked you have some extra room! Run to Food Lion this week and stock up on the Boneless Holly Farms Chicken Breasts for $1.79 lb. Also available are chicken tenders for $1.99 lb. Buy it now at this price to and stock up to get you through 6 to 8 weeks.

I would even guess that next Tuesday Food Lion will be out of chicken breasts. Let's just say I know from experience. Every time I go in for chicken on the last day of the sale they are sold out. Stock up early in the week and then go back and get a raincheck at the end of the sale!

PUBLIX 11/30/10, SPENT $20.81, SAVED 47%

My whole goal at Publix this week was to spend the least money OOP and get my total over $100 to get 4 gas cards. My total before gas cards and before my coupons were taken off was $111.81. After my four $50 gas cards ($160) and my groceries, my total was $180.66. That means I paid $20.66 for all these groceries:

1/2 lb. American Cheese
1 lb. Boars Head Turkey
2 cans of Almonds
2 Oscar Mayer Turkey Breast
3 Cannelini Beans
4 Chungs Egg Rolls
2 Lettuce
8 Crystal Light Tea
Brothers fresh ground coffee
8 Quaker Oatmeal
6 Martha Stewart Bathroom Cleaner
5 Smart Balance Milk
Benadryl, 20 ct.
2 Pepperidge Farm Bread
2 dozen eggs

I used rainchecks for the PF Bread, Smart Balance Milk, and Martha Stewart Bathroom Cleaner. My plan worked because when I saw this weeks ad I was so disappointed because I didn't see anything I really needed. I only needed lunchmeat, cheese, eggs, and bread. Those alone would have totalled $23.30. I am so glad the gas deal is not next week, because that ad is even worse than this weeks!

MY CVS AND WALGREENS HAUL!

WOW! HOW FUN!! I thought I would have issues doing my drugstore scenerios today but only had to make one change (Old Spice Deodorant instead of Gillette) which cost me $2 more OOP because I couldn't use a coupon, but I still did awesome!

I paid $7.71 OOP for everything pictured BUT will get back $4.99 for the shampoo and $4.99 for the conditioner in a TRY ME FREE OFFER! It gets even better when I add up all my RR's and ECB's I got back. The total ECB's I have (between 2 cards) is $23.57 and $17.75 in RR's!!! So after my mail-in-rebate and my ECB's/RR's, I made a profit of $43.59

This is what I got:

3 Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste
2 Eucerin Lotion
1 Listerine Pocket Pak
3 Excedrin PM or Migrane
4 Snickers Almond
1 Carmax Lip Balm
1 A & W Root Beer
1 Crest Toothpaste
1 Robitussin
1 Gum Flossers
1 Advil PM
1 Thermacare
1 Fiber Choice
3 Dove Chocolate Bars
2 Colgate Toothpaste
2 Welch's Sparkling Juice
1 Herbal Essence Conditioner
1 Secret Body Spray
1 Scrunci Elastic Bands
1 Olay Body Wash

My actual total OOP before tax was $3.48. My scenerio is listed a few posts back!

ANOTHER $5/$50 COUPON IN TODAYS MAIL

Make sure you check your mail today for another $5/$50 coupon on the front page of the RED PLUM!

PUBLIX 11/24/10, SPENT $.86, SAVED 99%

I tried to be organized when putting my shopping list together for Thanksgiving. Obviously, I wasn't very organized.

Art: Did you get the half and half for the scalloped oysters?

Judi: I can't believe I forgot it! It was on my list! Now I have to make that dreaded trip back to Publix the day before Thanksgiving!

So, off at 9:30 I go to Publix. I looked at the rice that was BOGO and I found 6 boxes with peelies on them for $1...more FREE rice! I checked my binder before I left and found more cracker tearpads so I bought more crackers and stacked them with the Wags $1/2 coupon...more cheap crackers. I have been waiting for the sweet potatoes to go on sale, so I bought 3 more to eat within the next few weeks. I can't forget the baby carrots. My daughter inhales them so why not buy them this week when I can get them BOGO. And, of course, the half and half I need for my scalloped oysters. I, of course, made it past $25 so I was able to use my $5/$25 coupon. My total was -$.40! So grab a pack of gum for a total of $.86, a savings of 99%. This is what I bought:

Brothers Coffee (FREE)
10 Wheat Thins Stix
4 Wheat Thins
6 Uncle Bens Rice
Water rolls
Potato Rolls
4 Baby Carrots
Half and Half
Bananas
Sweet Potatoes

No more Publix trips for me! I am done until next week and from the looks of the ad, it doesn't look like I will be buying much!

Zucchini
Oscar Mayer Bacon
8 Wheat Thins
8 Uncle Bens Rice
2 Fudge Covered Ritz (can't wait to try!)
2 Cool Whip
2 Steamfresh Veggies
Turkey Gravey
