Catching up!

Goodness, I haven't blogged in FOREVER.

Where to begin? Goodness. I don't even know. I don't have pictures of everything I've bought since August 2nd, but I do have all the receipts.


This was from August 5th. I spent $9.69 on all of this. I don't remember all the deets, but I do recall the Captain Crunch was $0.34 a box after coupons. Woo-hoo!



This was from the 5th also. I spent $5.51 on this.

I also went to CVS on the 5th. I screwed up on my peanut butter, so I was seriously sad about it. (Ridiculous, I know). I ended up spending $6.06. I got $3 in ECB's back. I was supposed to get back more like $8 and have a lower out of pocket too. I should have went back, but life circumstances did not enable me too. Oh well, live and learn.

I went to Big Lots on 8/8/10 and bought 2 packs of bagels and two bags of buns. I spent $5.82.

Fairly big trip to Kroger on 8/8/10 as well. I won't recap the whole thing, as it wasn't particularly exciting. I spent $86.47.

On 8/13/10 I went to Kroger, mostly for water. I did buy some Nature Valley products too because they are having a great Catalina ($3.50 when you buy 5 or more). I also got some dogfood, diet soda, and Hamburger helper. I spent $21.98 and got a $3.50 Catalina back.

Today, I went to Kroger (again). My plan was to try to keep my bill under $150. Here's what I got:
-2 Pillbury Cookies
-1 Kroger Popcorn
-2 Nature Valley granola bars
-2 Country Crock Margarine
-2 Betty Crocker Fruitsnacks
-2 Kroger frozen potatoes
-7 Gallons water
-1 Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Granola bars
-5 Smart Ones entrees
-1 Smart Ones dessert (free)
-1 Nature Valley Nut Cluster
-1 Nature Valley Granola Thins
-2 Keebler cookies
-2 Betty Crocker Cookie mix
-4 Pillsbury Grands
-4 Pillsbury Crescents
-4 Chef Boyardee
-12 boxes Hamburger Helper
-2 boxes Coco Puffs
-1 Mayfield Ice cream
-1 Weight Watchers ice cream
-Kotex U Tampons
-2 bags Chex Mix
-2 Golden Grahams bars
-2 Softsoap
-Deli Mozarella (sliced)
-2 John Morrell Turkey
-1 Hormel Ham
-Little Debbie Brownies
-Little Debbie Honeybuns
-2 jars Kroger peanut butter
-Tyson Chicken breast
-Huge pack of ground beef
-6 packs of Kool-Aid
-Gallon Skim milk
-Kroger paper towels
-Kroger tortilla chips
-Big pack of Charmin Extra soft
-Loaf of Kroger sliced bread

I think that was all. Lord!

I spent, after coupons, $102.49. I also received a $3.50 Catalina. I saved $93.71 according to my receipt.
