Shopping Trips 8/7

When I first glanced at the grocery ads this week, I wasn't very impressed.  I didn't think that I was going to hit any of the stores, but today I decided to make a trip to Tom Thumb for cheese and cheap raspberries, and I needed a few things from Aldi as well.  I also ran into the 99 Cents Only store in search of bell peppers for our fajitas tonight.  Well, I ended buying a lot more stuff than I intended to, but it was because I found some insanely good prices.

At Tom Thumb:

I had separated this into two transactions because I had heard that a $5 off your next order Catalina coupon would print when you bought 5 Kraft cheese, but alas it did not. =(  The cheese was part of the buy 5 save $5 promotion, and was just $1.99 when you bought 5, and then I found this $1/1 Deli Deluxe Coupon that made them just $0.99 each--hit the back button and print twice.  I used three computers to get enough.  Today and tomorrow only, the raspberries are $0.99 (limit 4) and the corn is 5 for $1.  I had intended for the second transaction to be free, but I still paid just $9.91 for $41.86 worth of groceries--76% savings!

99 Cents Only:

Paid $7.16 total.


Aldi:

Total paid:  $39.21

For anyone in the Dallas area:  milk is currently $1.19/gallon (when I was visiting family in Louisiana it cost $4.29 there!!!), sugar is currently $0.99/4lb bag--last I saw it there was $1.79--so I stocked up.

Total spent today: $56.28
