Quick grocery bargains

February 26, 2009 at 5:49 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , ,

Nothing much here, but I am really pleased that I stuck to my all-cash diet. I stopped at Kroger to get juice for my son because it was his day to bring juice to the classroom…and it was only $1 for a half-gallon (I already ahd the snacks he was also supposed to bring at home). Since milk is only $1.99 per gallon, the reduced milk was only .99!!! I bought two gallons–one for my mom and one for me.

On the way back from my daughter’s speech therapy, I stopped at Hollywood Market. I usually don’t shop there because it doesn’t have the greatest prices, and I’m only in the area once a week.

But this week, eggs were .88 per dozen and bananas .40/lb. so I stopped shopped and rolled out.

Value World

Boy did I have fun using my Value World coupon for half-off my purchase. My total came to $32.66. I bought my husband the several sweaters he had asked me for. I also bought my children shoes, as well some really cool Ralph Lauren Polo quilted boots for myself.

I also got a Dapper Dan for my daughter, and boy did that bring back memories, as well as a Cabbage Patch doll that was really cute and sort of looks like my little girl.

I bought the kids a few more toys, as well as a Sesame Street videotape (still lovin’ my VCR) and a DVD of Wagons East. the last film of the late, great John Candy. I also bought a large blanket, and a Panasonic cordless phone/clock radio set. It looks cooler than it sounds.

I think my favorite purchase was a Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden perfume/body wash/lotion set. I had been kind of hankering for one of those sets for Valentine’s day, but they were too expensive. I bought a set of fragarance, body wash and lotion at Dollar Tree, but I’d been wanting a name brand. And there it was for $4.30.

My satisfaction was complete.

Kroger and Sam’s Club

February 11, 2009 at 11:35 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged ,

Today, I went to Kroger. I bought yogurt on clearance, which was a good deal, an eight pack for $1.19, as well as a can of Progresso for.69. When I came home, I found a free one-day Sam’s Club membership.

I’ve never been to Sam’s Club? Does anybody have any good ideas?

Cheap Cereal

February 10, 2009 at 3:09 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , ,

This last week has been my weak for cereal–cheap cereal. It began last Sunday. CVS had a price killer of cereal for $1.88, which is great, especially since I had coupons for .75 a box, making it a $1.13 a box, for my favorite Special K,

Later in the week, I stopped at Kroger Clearance. Lo and behold, boxes of cereal were marked 75% off, which means that it was a dollar a box, and it was Special K blueberry. I bought all they had.

Today, I received the new Kroger ad, and it’s a sweetheart. Milk is a $1.99 a gallon, orange juice .99 a 1/2 gallon…and boxes of instant oatmeal .99 a box.
