This week’s shopping trips were a little random since I was just looking for deals and few staples.  My E-Mealz Meal plan from Aldi is making it through a second week thanks to dinner with some friends and a couple meals not on the menu.

So here are this week’s shopping trips:

Here is my Giant PA purchase:

A few highlights:

  • The milk was free with catalina coupons from a couple weeks ago.
  • The Land O Lakes eggs were free with a coupon from Vocalpoint that randomly showed up in my mailbox this week.
  • The Right Bites and cereal were part of the Kellogg/Keebler deal that is going on this week: Buy 7 items, get $5 off.  To make it even better, one of the boxes has a Try Me Free rebate offer!  So, after coupons, rebate, and discount, I paid $0.72 each.
  • The Campbell’s soup was $0.63 each, plus I got a $1.25 catalina coupon for buying 4, so essentially it was $0.31 each.
  • You can’t really see them in the picture, but the Arm & Hammer Fabric Softener Sheets were just $0.50 after coupon.

Total Spent: $13.41
Total Saved: $30.25 (plus will receive $2.50 for rebate)

Here is my Redner’s purchase:

A few highlights:

  • Grapes were on sale for $1.29/lb.
  • Goldfish were Buy One Get One Free ($1.20 each)

(Not pictured: Miracle Whip and ketchup)

Spent: $15.54
Saved: $8.55

Here is my Landis purchase:

A few highlights:

  • Zone Bars were only $0.19 after coupon
  • The Dole fruit was free after a rain check and coupons.
  • The Apple & Eve juice was $0.89 because they did not carry the Earthwise Juice that was on sale.

Spent: $7.70
Saved: $11.36

I also made a trip to CVS tonight for a rain check on Fiber One Brownies.

Spent: $0.00 after ECBs
Saved: $4.49

Total Spent: $36.65
Total Saved: $54.65

I did some shopping yesterday at Redner’s, Target, and Aldi and found some fun deals.

Here is my Redner’s purchase:

In my area, Redner’s is offering a FREE 16 oz. package of Strawberries this week with the purchase of any (2) Fresh Express salads.  I was excited about this deal because I have some $1/2 Fresh Express Salad coupons from a Vocalpoint mailer a while back.  The bigger bag of salad was $2 and the smaller bag was only $0.98, so this was my deal:

Buy (2) Bags of Fresh Express Salad, $2.98
Get FREE package of Strawberries
Use $1/2 coupon
$1.98 total for two bags of salad and Strawberries!

Saved: $4.96

Here is my Target purchase:

I scored some fun deals at Target too.  Here are my deals:

Two Jars of Market Pantry Sauce @ $1 ea.
Two packages of Market Pantry Pasta @ $1 ea.
Use (2) $1/2 Market Pantry Pasta Sauce AND Dry Pasta, TARGET coupon
Four packs of Bic pens
Use (4) $1/1 BIC Stationery Product SS Insert 01/08/2012 (exp 02/15/2012)

One box of Market Pantry Mac n Cheese @ $0.67

I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of my Aldi purchase, but I spent $45.50 total on this week’s E-Mealz shopping list.  Some of the highlights were: Boneless Chicken Breasts for $2/lb., a pineapple for $1.89, dozen eggs for $0.88, and English Muffins for $0.99.  I estimate that I saved about $15, even with no coupons involved!

Total Spent: $47.48
