Saved 79% This Week

I spent only pocket change at three different stores this week. I hate it when the cashier thinks they have messed up. I've passed on my blog address to many cashiers and let them know it's easy to save this much money. Hello, if you're reading!

Walgreens

I used $12.50 in Register Rewards and got back $12.50. I love it when the deals work out so easily.

Before coupons & sales: $43.00
Total spent: $0.15
Total saved: $42.85 for 99%

Shop 'n Save

I had a $10 Catalina coupon that was expiring this week, and with no $10 off $50 Thursday or Catalina deal, I could hardly shop. I picked up the OJ on a really good sale, the salad on a just so-so sale, and a few other items I needed.

Before coupons & sales: $17.47
Total spent: $0.39
Total saved: $17.08 for 98%

Target

I've been trading free cat food for cheap dog food with a friend. I think I'm coming out ahead on this deal. Thanks, Nancy!

Dierbergs

I didn't get to Dierbergs last week, so I went on Monday before last week's sale was over and then again of Friday. A lot of people don't ever consider shopping at Dierbergs because they think they are too expensive. I love their deals, especially on meat. And this week, you could purchase Brooks Chili Beans for less than Shop 'n Save's sale price.

Before coupons & sales: $73.05
Total spent: $27.92
Total saved: $45.08 for 62%

Aldi

I got lucky and found pineapples for 79 cents each. I should have bought more.

Comparable Schnucks price: $14.88
Aldi price: $5.84
Total saved: $9.04 for 61%
