Sunday Shopping in the New Year

Hey, Everyone!

While my family-related life continues to forge ahead toward armageddon, I still find a nice trip to the store keeps me from losing it completely. So yesterday, off I headed to do some shopping.

First up, GiantPA, where I got all this (except kitty, of course):

It probably isn't totally evident that there are 5 6-packs of Diet Pepsi bottles and another 6-pack of Coke Zero bottles, but that's what is in the photo. The register receipt tallied this all up as being worth $47.65, and after coupons and weekly deals, the actual OOP was $21.75 -- a savings rate of 54%. The jug o' creamer and the box of k-cups were both free because of manufacturer's coupons I received in the mail (woo!).

Then I drove to Target for the big frozen entree score:

For buying 12 Smart Ones entrees, a bottle of 90-ct fish oil caplets, a container of peanuts, and a tub o' deli meat, my register receipt showed a value of $36.60. After stacking a $3/10 Target Q with a $5/12 mfr IPQ on the Smart Ones, and a $2/1 Nature Made Q (I didn't find out there was also a Target Q until after I got home - poop!), I ended up with a revised total of $22.52. I used a $5 gc from last week's Lean Cuisine deal, so my OOP was $17.52 and I received another $5 gc. Woo!

I also had a couple fb coupons for $4 off any Picky Cat Box of Royal Canin food. So I headed over to Petco where these are priced at $3.99 and found the last box (the other coupon I have is good until mid-Feb, so I'll go back for another box later). Here it is, totally FREE

And here is my very not-picky kitty trying to decide which sample she wants to try first

Here's hoping everyone has a great week and grabs lots of excellent store deals!!
