View receipt
Got:
1 bag of dried split peas – price: $1.45
1 bottle of Ken’s ranch dressing – on sale for $1.50, used one $1/1 coupon from the 5/9 Smart Source newspaper inserts, which doubled; final price: Free
Half gallon of half & half – price: $3.99
1 carton of Tropicana Orange Juice – on sale for $3.50, used one free coupon that I received through their “Juicy Rewards” program. It automatically took off the full value of the coupon, which was $3.99, so I also received .49 cents in overage.
1 8oz block of Tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese – on sale for $2.50, used a $1/1 coupon, which doubled; final price: $1.00. A friend of mine got this coupon when she went to a cheese festival, and she very thoughtfully sent it to me!
100-count bottle of ibuprofen – price: $5.99
2 packages of Stayfree – on sale for $2.99 when you buy two or more; I used two $2/1 coupons that I got through trading, which doubled – final price: .49 cents each.
5 packages of Ranchers Reserve steak – there was a coupon for $5 off Ranchers Reserve beef with any $25 or higher beef purchase in the Safeway sales flier; I like to utilize meat coupons whenever I find them, and this was perfect timing to take advantage of the sale since I have used a lot of meat from the freezer recently. I got five different packages of steak, which added up to $25.18 – making the final total $20.18 for all five packages after coupon.
2.46 lb of bananas – price: $1.70
1.34 lbs of oranges – price: $1.33
1 head of red leaf lettuce – price: $1.00
10-lb bag of potatoes – price: $1.78
2-lb bag of carrots – regularly priced at $1.59, used a .50/1 coupon that I received by writing to the company; final price: $1.09.
Jai also picked up milk and half and half on Sunday, for a total of $5.78. Our allotment for the Grocery Challenge is $25 per person per week; our total spent on food for Week 1 so far is $36.81.
Great Savings!!!
