10/18-10/24 Shopping Wk---Lots of little trips this week!

This was a crazy week of running around.
It was some fun but now I need a nice slow sales week to kick back and enjoy all my Starbucks and olives (no, I'm not pregnant!).
I was very excited about the olives at Walgreens! DD1YO loves Olives!
Total Spent (Cash) = $76.30
Reaction: Shocked!
I forget how quickly all those small trips add up.
On the other hand we did buy quite a bit of meat, some chicken
and a few other great items for our stockpile.
Next week...less trips= less money spent!

SHOPRITE 10/21

(1) Santa Cruz Limeade $1.39
(1) Barilla Whole Grain Penne $1.25

Total= $6.26 including tax

So, I had to cash in on these store coupons which require an additional $15 purchase. I decided to use some of the $3 Glade IPs since they are expiring on 10/31 and helped bring my total above $15. For some reason the Starkist Store Q attached to the pouch instead of the can and so I ended up getting some overage on that as well as from stacking the Pepsi Store Q with the MQ.

I normally don't buy juice boxes but we are responsible for snack at DD's pre-school tomorrow and they have a rain- date for a field trip so we had to plan a last minute portable snack instead of the usual big bottle of juice that we bring in.

Adams is a Hudson Valley market with great produce (often local) and great poultry/meats.
We usually buy 40lb bulk bags of chicken breast and separate and freeze, but this $1.39/lb price is even better than the normal bulk rate!

In fact all I paid OOP was tax!
CVS hasn't had the greatest deals IMHO lately, so I wanted to use up some of my ECBs on the Glade Fragrance and soda. We've been out of soda for a week and DH likes to have one a day!
