After a looooooong day at home with my precious (snot nosed . . . literally) boys, it was good to be able to get out of the house to do a little bit of grocery shopping!

I gotta say, there is not much going on at Safeway. However, I do always find a hidden gem or two, don’t I?

BAAAAAACON! Tell me that your mouth is not watering right now? Oh, how I heart bacon!!

Anyway. Ahem.

I did this in 3 transactions, and they went something like this:

Transaction 1:

6 Rice a Roni (hate me, but I love this stuff) @ 89¢ each with in-ad coupon
2 Pasta Roni
Used (2) 1 free Pasta Roni WYB 3 Rice a Roni, AND the coupons each scanned at $2.00 off! No beeps, no opportunity to enter the price of the free pasta, nuthin’. I’ll take it!
6 Prego @ $1.25 each with in-ad coupon
Used (3) .50/2 MCs and the doubler to make them 75¢ each!! After my ginormous pasta sauce stock up last week, I decided to just stick with these 6 jars and gave the rest of my coupons (6 or 7 of them!) to a friend. She’s loving me right now!
1 Kraft Singles on sale for $1.49.
Used 55¢/1 MC + doubler to make it 44¢.
Total OOP was $8.06

Transaction 2:

6 Rice a Roni
2 Pasta Roni
same coupons
2 Farmland Bacon @ $2.49 each with in-ad (Sunday flier) coupon.
I used (2) 55¢/1 Internet Printables from the Farmland website. You have to register and it took a couple of hours before I got my coupon, but I did get it! With the doubler, these two packages cost me $1.44 each.
2 Buddig Deli Cuts @ $1.99 each with in-ad coupon. Used (2) 75¢/1 MCs + doubler to make them 74¢ each.
Total OOP was $7.48

Transaction 3:

6 Rice a Roni
2 Pasta Roni
same coupons
1 Top Ramen @ $1. It pains me to post that here. However, I love my husband, and he always BEGS me to buy him Ramen. I think it is his comfort food. For the record, this is only the second time I have willingly purchased Ramen in our 13 years of marriage. I make him do it. BLECH.
2 Kraft Singles on sale for $1.49 each. Used (2) 55¢/1 MC + doubler to make them 44¢ each.
1 Lime Juice @ 99¢ (really good price, if you ask me)
1 Butter @ $2.49 with in-ad coupon
Total OOP was $7.48

After the fun at Safeway, I popped on over to Rite Aid to grab a few things.

My total after coupons was $10.96, and I used $10 in +UP rewards and paid with 96¢ OOP. I earned another $7 in +UPs!

(Mitch just shook his head when I took this picture and said, “Tower ‘o Tampons.”)

I can’t wait until Wednesday!! I NEED some cheese and chicken and milk!! After all the sodium I stocked up on tonight, I can’t wait to get some good deals on produce! But I do have a ton of veggies and fruit in the house, so I promise my family eats well!!

Did you see something that I missed? Let me know!
