Even more shopping!

This is going to be a big month for me, I can tell. I know I'm going to go over budget. I'm starting to learn how to shop at CVS and I am stockpiling this month (it's a good month for it).

Here are the results of my two trips yesterday. No pictures because my husband was home and helpfully put everything away before I could photograph the evidence.

Kroger:
-Provolone cheese
-2 packages Perdue Chicken breast (buy one/get one free)
-1 Betty Crocker potatoes ($1 and I had a $0.40/1 coupon. Final cost was $0.20)
-2 Freschetta Pizza ($4.99 each and I had $1.25/1 coupons for each. Final cost was $3.74 each)
-Lady Speed Stick (free after coupon)
-6 Kool-aid mixes
-1 package Budding Ham ($1.50 after coupon)
-Kroger Tampons ($0.85 after coupon)
-3 Kandoo wipes ($0.79 each after coupons)
-3 Johnson and Johnson Bath Buddies ($0.26 each after coupons)
-3 Lean Cuisine Pizza
-Lean and Perrins ($1 after coupon)
-2 Cans Bushs Great northern beans ($0.35 each after coupons)
-Buns
-Private selection chocolate chips
-3 Hershey's Special Dark bars
-3 Hershey bars with almonds
-5 2liter Diet Pepsis
-1 2liter Diet Mountain Dew
-Kroger cookies
-Digornio 200 calorie pizza (free with coupon)
-California Pizza kitchen Pizza for one
-3 Hallmark cards ($0.16 each after coupons)
-Schick Hydro 3 Razor ($2.99 after coupon)
-4 Nature Valley Granola bars ($2.14 each after coupons BUT I also received a $4 Catalina)
-Star Vinegar (Better than free...I received $4 off which was the total value of the coupon, but the item only cost $2.69!)
-2 Kroger dog food
-1 loaf wheat bread
-1 Multi-pack Scott Paper towels

I spent $75.17. I saved $65.77 or 49%. I would have done a little better if I remembered to use my Hershey bar coupons. Grr!

Then I went across the street to Food City and I purchased:
-1.84lbs pork chops
-2.87lbs ground chuck
-2 Pop 'ems Chips
-2 Food Club cake mixes
-4 Food Club Toaster Pastries
-4 Bags Terry's potato chips
-1 Stacy's Parmesan and Garlic Pita chips

I spent $23.32 and saved $14.67. I only used 1 coupon, but they had a Mega event going which gave me extra money off. I love to stock up when I can.

I am still waiting on my Tide, Bounce, and Hamburger helper coupons. More shopping is coming!

Total spent: $98.49
Total spent in 2010: $2194.82
Remaining annual balance: $3005.18
