Deal Brag

Wowsy, wowsy, wow-wow... What a week for sales! I just got back from my weekend grocery trip and it sure was a lot of fun. I did forget that it was Peach Days in Brigham City, and Smith's is RIGHT by the Peach Days festivities, so their parking lot was PACKED... and I am sure that a fair majority of the cars in the lot were not there for Smith's. I will try to remember that for next fall.

Here is my haul:

Here is the case lot items I got, nicely displayed on my husband's workbench. :)

Here are my non-case lot deals, minus a Friday Freebie Reese's peanut butter cup, some vanilla extract and two bags of Babybel cheese (those items not pictured).

Here is my $10 bag from Kent's. Lots of bananas for us this time to fill up the bag because I have so much stuff left from last week's bag. I am probably going to be freezing banana bread this week.

According to my Smith's receipt, I got approximately $300 worth of product, but I used $16.20 in coupons and $147.95 in Fresh Value Savings, bringing my out of pocket cost down to $142.14! Even with case lot items that had no coupons attached to them, I still saved 51%! If you take the case lot items off, I am pretty sure my savings would have jumped to about 75% because the deals were so great and I had such wonderful coupons.

For example, every box of cereal in the picture cost me either $0.95 or $1.00. That is the same as going to the Tremonton Malt-O-Meal sale (probably next month) and stocking up on their cereal at $1 a bag... only better because I didn't have to get up at 5:00 AM and stand in line freezing for 2 hours to get my deals!

According to my receipt, I have saved $811.92 in Fresh Value Savings since the first of the year. Throw in my added coupon savings and I am sure I have passed $1,000 in savings and we still have 1/4 of the year left! WOOT! That more than pays for my newspaper subscriptions!

How did you do? I would love to hear? Post your deals on my Facebook wall and tag me!
