I thought I’d share last week’s shopping trip with you all. I had several free item coupons that I had collected from here and there (Vocalpoint, Kroger mailer). The items I got free were the Bertolli’s Lasagna meal (which the guys had while I went to Momminitup’s Johnson & Johnson fundraiser party, raising money for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation!), the Kashi waffles, both tubs of margarine and the baby carrots.
Each of the cereal boxes were $1, thanks to a great sale and coupon matchups. The BBQ sauce was nearly free after coupon, as was the mustard. It’s grilling season Y’all! I snagged the scallops…cuz well, whenever I see a good deal on seafood products, I snatch them up! The mangoes were on sale for $.50 each. And they were sweet too!!!
I can’t find the receipt??? for the exact numbers and % savings, but the total was just under $25. And that includes a pack of diapers!!!
Also, there are some FREEBIES and a few more near FREEBIES to be had at Walmart this week…all the details over at Deal Seeking Mom!

I have a question, all of these grocery trips sound very good, and cheap, but i never see any meat? I understand they do not make coupons for meat, but if you only spend $25 on groceries, are you still planning meals or just buying whats on sale and figuring out whats meals you have later? I always plan my meals, and then HOPE to find items on sale, what am i doing wrong? also, my local available stores (krogers, walmart, meijers, and marsh all have sales on different days, but only 2 of those double coupons up to .50)

I have a meat stockpile in my freezer. I buy it when it’s on sale for its lowest price and then freeze it. This allows me to “shop from my freezer,” where I know I’ll find the best deals! We did not eat much meat this last month, during my first trimester because I couldn’t handle the sight of raw meat! Much less cook it!
