Jewel

Went to Jewel tonight and did pretty good but it's the first time in a long time that I have bought ingredients just because I needed them so my total was higher than I wanted but still pretty good since I am done for the week. I am not going to bore you with my shopping list but I will give you the highlights.

2 Fresh Express Salads - 2/$4 - used 2 - $.55 coupons from the Jewel Preferred card booklet we got months ago and in the store there is a coupon for free bananas (up to 2 lbs) so my bananas were free too! Grab a few extra coupons because they are manufacturers coupons and you can use expired coupons at Dominick's so next time they have the salads cheap, you can get some bananas too!

Blueberries - BOGO at $3.99

I did only one deal tonight of the GM deal and I think I am done - I really don't need anything else - I have save up enough fruit snacks for the band trip and have enough here for my kids. I bought 6 fruit snacks ($11.94) and 3 cans of Progresso Soup (sale price $2.83 - preferred $1.33) so I did get my $5 cat and my $3.50 cat for the fruit snacks! I used 3 $1/2 coupons for the fruit snacks from www.bettycrocker.com and 1 $1.10/3 for the soup from www.coupons.com. So, I paid $11.83 and got back $8.50. That's an ok deal, not the greatest but I didn't really need the yogurt that would be free and those I can't donate to the food pantry. So, free is good but not if it will not be eaten in time! They did not have ANY Nutclusters though and I still have some $1.60 coupons from Vocal Point that I might just go and check another store for. These are good and with those coupons, they should be free after the double dip!

The Weight Watcher snacks are on sale for $2.50 and I used 4 - $1 IP coupons I printed on www.coupons.com.

I bought 2 gallons of milk which were $2.38 each and I used the free 1/2 gallon coupon I printed this morning (see previous post) so I got a free 1/2 gallon of Dean's Over the Moon chocolate milk!

There were lots of single yogurts and drinkable yogurts on clearance so check that out.

Other than that, really the other things were just basic produce, etc. I did buy all of the ingredients for the potatoes I am making tomorrow night - let me warn you, it is not an inexpensive dish to make! My friend Cindy told me they are really, really good though so they should be worth it. I'll let you know! :-)

Going to bed now - trying to get more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep tonight. It is catching up with me!

Happy Shopping!
