Saved 82% This Week

I didn't have much time to shop this week, since we were out of town for a few days. I didn't even make it to a local grocery store except for Aldi. But I have started to take a cooler with me when I travel for those items I can't pass up. This trip, I brought home meatballs from Ikea in Minneapolis and pork from HyVee in Iowa.

Target

Can you tell my son got into the potato chips before I could take the picture?

Aldi

I had very little I needed at Aldi this week. I wouldn't have made the extra trip for such little savings, but I always like to put Aldi's price check on my blog.

Walgreens - I didn't take a picture of my tube of Rembrant toothpaste. I needed to roll a $4 Register Reward, so I ran into Walgreens and picked up some Rembrant, used a $1 coupon and my Register Reward. $0 out of pocket, and now I have a $5 Register Reward for next week.
