The six pack of Jiffy corn muffin mix, and two boxes of Krusteaz corn muffin mix.  My one splurge on this trip was a box of weight watchers lemon cakes.   Price before manufacturer and store coupons was $142.66.  (Cornbread mixes were our part of a pig roast side dish)

$462.52         So, over my 400 dollar goal but UNDER my previous 500 goal (which I always went way over)  Funny huh?   We did bring back some baked goods from PA, but I target that as vacation $$. Though it will go towards meals.   Since alot of these purchases haven't even been touched yet I am counting on these purchases to be eaten in October.  I will again set the budget for $400 and focus on loss leaders and big sales only.  My market share is almost done (a little less than $100 left)

  1. Even though you went over your mark, you got some amazing deals and were able to buy quite a bit of meat! I am in awe of what you were able to accomplish - especially considering our stores our comparable price wise! =)

  2. Great job Sandie! Congrats on coming in at below $500 even though you were shooting for $400. Maybe next month?

    How did you get the oatmeal for free at CVS? Did you use ECBs to buy them? I know, I'm nosy :)

    1. Yes, ECB's! Love CVS. Could never figure out rite aid even though sluggy tries to explain it every month and I study it. Walgreens annoys me that you can't use points on deals with points.

  3. It seems you got some really good deals. Will you eat all that in September, or is some of it stock-up items?

  4. Most of it is still here in the pantry in the freezers. DH jumped on that beef loin though that was gone two days after I bought it. A lot of the snacks and what I call junkfood haven't even been touched between don't have to buy any for several months, I'm roasting one of the chickens now but the other two are in the freezer and most of the meet is in the freezer. Deli meats are gone the squashes are still unused. The Gatorade and the Snapple or halfway consumed . I did freeze half of the baked goods so we still have those as well .
