Coupon Road Trip: .30 Cent Groceries at Wal-Mart

Groceries from Wal-Mart

On our way home from Seattle last week, we stopped by a Wal-Mart that was near a friend’s house. I had a Wal-Mart gift card, and since there are none in our area, this was the perfect time for a little “Coupon Road Trip”!

Remember the Delicious Moments contest that all of you helped me win last year? As you may recall, my original motivation for entering the contest was that they were offering a Wal-Mart gift card and free coupons to the first 75 people to enter. Little did I know that I would get so much more! Once again, coupons led to great things in my life. Well, I still had the $10 gift card that I received through the contest, so this was the perfect time to use it!

Total spent: Put $10 on my Wal-Mart gift card, spent .30 cents out of pocket
View receipt

Got:

2 quarts of half & half – price: $1.68 each, final total for both: $3.36
1 lb of brown rice – price: .76 cents
2 lbs of white rice – price: $1.28
12-pack of Ramen noodles – price: $1.82
1 gallon of milk – price: $3.08

I knew we were out of milk and half & half, since I used it up before we went out of town, so this was a a great opportunity to restock on the way home. $3.08 is much more expensive than the milk prices in Oregon, but since we needed it and it cost me nothing out of pocket, I was OK with that. I had originally planned to pick up some produce with the remainder of the gift card, but since this wasn’t a Super Wal-Mart, they didn’t carry fresh items; so I stocked up on dry goods instead. We were out of rice, so I was happy to pick up two more bags. I was also starting to come down with a cold, so I bought the Ramen because it’s an easy comfort food.

    Compared to the prices here, those are all great prices!

    A gallon of milk here is at least $3.99 (usually $4+) and if I’m lucky I might find a case of 12 ramen on sale for $2.99

    Not sure on the other prices, but still, yours are way lower!

    Missy, after reading your comment I don’t feel so bad about paying $3 for milk – haha. If you ever get a chance to come to Oregon or Washington, be sure to stock up on Ramen! 😀
