Splurge Funds: $123.56
For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. I use it for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.
My "best buys" are: items for $1 or less, meat for $2 or less a pound, and a few other items that are at rock bottom prices. When I keep my shopping list to these items, I can bring home a ton of groceries for very little money.
Here is what I see as the best "cherry picking" items at the other grocery stores in town. I don't include all the match-ups, but only items you might want to pick up, if one of these stores is convenient to your location.
A reader found more details on the Nestle Catalina deal offered at Schnucks. Here are all the participating products and coupon-matchups. (Thanks, kas!)
NO $10 off $50 this Thursday.
Remember when shopping at Target: You can use a manufacturer and Target store coupon on the same product.
