This post is about a week late but bare with me because my blog was basically down all last week. I finally made the big plunge and transferred from Blogger to Self-hosted WordPress.
Last week I went to Publix & Food Lion and got some GREAT DEALS. Yes I only saved 53% but my goal in any shopping trip is to save 50% so I made that goal!
Let me start with Food Lion because I only got one item. Food Lion was having a Big Deal sale. When you bought 10 of certain items you got $5 off your order. One of the items they had on sale was brawny paper towels 1 roll on sale for 10/$10 (so $1 a piece). I had $0.50 off coupons. I only have 4 coupons (that is how many papers I get) and by the time I found out about the sale thanks to Cilla’s Deals I didn’t have time to order/find 6 more coupons. However I still got a good deal. Here is the deal broken down:
10 Rolls of paper towels $10
4 $0.50 off Man Q -$2
Big Deal Instant Deal -$5
Final Price $3
That is over 70% in savings which is really good in my book! We have a TON of paper towels right now, we’re getting pretty close to that girl that was on “that show” a few weeks ago. But trust me we have NO WHERE near the amount of paper products as her.
*Paper Product Tip: Paper products can be tricky about once every 6 weeks walgreens will have TUFF paper towels on sale for 2 for $1. I usually grab a bunch from that sale when I see it.
Everything else in my photo’s I bought at Publix. They didn’t have the quart size Hefty bags that were BOGO so I grabbed some Freezer Size and got a rain check for the quart size and hopefully they will get them in stock in the next few weeks. Here is my breakdown of my Publix purchases:
Total Spent: $104.69
Total Saved: $118.78
Percent Saved: 53%
Overall I think it was a pretty good week since I got a lot of meats for dinners and lunch to mix and match with other meals throughout the week. I also got several household items that were needed. Since this was such a good run last week I didn’t do any shopping this week.
Have you done any shopping recently? How did you do?
Also how do you like the new site? It probably looks pretty much the same. Let me know if your having any loading issues and I will look into it!
Wow! Looks like you did a lot shopping. Thanks for linking up at Pounds4Pennies this week.
