Meijer, CVS & Office Depot - My Shopping Trip 7/13

Here's the details of my shopping trips from today (7/13).  I went to two different Meijers, Office Depot and CVS.  Anything new I'll highlight in purple.  First is Meijer:

1st Trip:

*10 Powerades.  Sale price .88.  Used the 1.00 off 1 coupon from 7/13 Smartsource.  Paid 0.

*2 Frank's Red Hot Sauces.  Sale price .99.  Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 5/18 Smartsource.  Paid 0.

*I did the Kraft Dressing deal that I talked about here.  I got 4 Dressings.  Sale priced 6.67 total.  I used two 1.00 off 2 coupons from the 6/15 Smartsource.  PLUS, I found in the big open aisle that runs along the front of the other grocery aisles, a display for the dressings with tear off coupons for 1.00 off produce.  So I used two of those as well, but I'll subtract the coupons from the price of the produce listed below.  So I paid 4.67 for the dressings, and got a $4 catalina (coupon that prints out at the register) back to use on my next order.

*5 different Meijer brand canned beans.  Sale price 2.50. 

*1 Aunt Millies loaf of bread.  Sale price 1.00

*2 Daisy Sour Creams.  Sale priced .99.  Used the .50 off 1 coupons from the 6/1 Redplum insert.  Paid 0.

*1 package of strawberries.  Sale price 1.34.

*1.36lbs of grapes.  Sale price (.88 per lb) 1.20.

*.72 lbs of peaches.  Sale price (.99 per lb) .71.

*1 head of broccoli.  Sale price 1.67.

*1 head of lettuce.  Sale price .99.

*.77 lb of tomatoes.  Sale price (1.49 per lb) 1.15.

*1.94 lbs of bananas.  Sale price (.59 per lb) 1.14.

*Produce total = 8.20.  Used two of the 1.00 off produce when you buy 2 Kraft dressings coupons.  Paid 6.20.

*1 Welch's 100% juice.  Priced at 3.09. (Husband's drink for the week!!)

*1 Chicken Noodle Soup.  Priced at .68.

*2 packages of Healthy Ones lunchmeat (turkey and ham).  Sale priced 1.79.  Used two .75 off 1 coupons from the 5/4 Smartsource.  Paid 1.58 total

*3 packages of M&M's ice cream treats.  Sale priced 2.29.  I used coupons for 1.00 off 1 that I clipped from the packages the last time they had this deal.  (Check the ones they are selling now, they have coupons inside too!!).  Paid 3.87 total.

So I paid 24.16 for 61.61 worth of groceries, for a savings of 61%.  I'm happy with that considering I got all the produce and the 100% juice.  

2nd trip:

*4 Kraft dressings.  Sale priced 6.67 total.  I used two 1.00 off 2 coupons.  Paid 4.67.

*5 M&M's ice cream treats.  Sale priced 11.45 total.  I used five 1.00 off 1 coupons that I clipped from other boxes.  Paid 6.45.

*3 Frozen Snicker Bar treats.  Sale priced 1.99.  I used three 1.00 off 1 coupons that I clipped from the M&M's boxes as well.  Paid 2.97 total.

*1 package of baby carrots.  Paid .99

*.89lbs of Pink Lady apples.  Paid (1.69 per lb) 1.50.

*Produce total = 2.49.  I used two of the 1.00 off produce when you buy 2 Kraft dressing coupons.  Paid .49 total.

*Plus I used the 4.00 off coupon I got from the first order.

I paid 10.58 for 44.13 worth of groceries, for a savings of 76%.  Plus I got another $4 off your next order catalina for next time!!

CVS trip:

1st order:

*1 38 dose jar of Benefiber.  Priced at 9.49.

*1 62 dose jar of Benefiber.  Priced at 12.99.  I used 2.00 off 1 coupons from the 6/22 Smartsource insert (there's also some in today's (7/13) insert as well) for both of those.  

9.49 + 12.99 = 22.48.   -4.00 (two 2.00 off 1 coupons), -$3 off $15 found here.  Total = 15.48.  I used 14.48 in ECB's and 1.07 in cash and got back 10.00 in ECB's.

2nd order:

*1 4x6 photo book.  Sale priced at 3.99

*2 6x8 photo books.  Sale priced at 7.99.  I used two 3.o0 off 1 coupons from the 6/8 Smartsource. 

3.99 + 7.99 + 7.99 = 19.97.  -6.00 (two 3.00 off 1 coupons), - $3 off $15 coupon.  Total = 10.97.   I used 10.97 in ECB's.  I got back 19.97 in ECB's.

So for the two orders, I paid 25.45 in ECB's and 1.07 in cash (=26.52) and got back 29.97 in ECB's!!  So I'm ahead 3.45!!

And finally, Office Depot:

*20 pocket folders.  Sale priced .01 each.  Paid .20.

*5 plastic rulers.  Sale priced .01 each.  Paid .05.

*5 plastic protractors.  Sale priced .01 each.  Paid .05.

*10 packs of 10ct eraser caps.  Sale priced .01 each.  Paid .10.  (My husband got me five more in another line, the limit is 5 per customer).

So I paid a total of .40 for all of it!!

So my total for the day in cash spent = 36.21 for all that stuff!!  I'm pretty happy with that!!
