Grocery Shopping

Mister Studly and I are on a special diet where we eat next to nothing every day. So far I have lost 10 lbs and he has lost 19. I HATE men and their ability to lose weight faster than women. We are doing the same exact thing. Eating the exact same thing and we both have the exact same amount of weight to lose to be at our goal weight. So it's kinda frustrating for me to be doing everything he's doing but only losing half the weight. 

GRRRRR!!!!!

Anyways... Ribeye was on sale this week for a fairly good price so I purchased 2 family packs. 

That alone was $25.00 (just to give you an idea of my pure awesomeness).

 I bought all this.....

$122.00 in groceries...
for $52.00 (remember the ribeye's alone were nearly half that amount)
BUT I have $7.00 to spend next time in store rewards.

Yay for me!

Grocery Shopping

I've started to get back into couponing. 

I used to be super awesome at it back in So. Cal. But since moving to Utah, I haven't done it much.

 But I'm back baby!!! I'm back!

Last night I went shopping. They were having one of those sales where if you buy 10 items you get 5 bucks off at the register. In So. Cal, I shopped at a store that offered this sale on occasion but the maximum you could do was 30 items. so $15.00 off your total. The store I shop at here is owned by the same company so I thought they would have the same rule but just to be sure, I asked at the front desk before starting my shopping. To my wonderful surprise, this store didn't have a limit! So I ended up purchasing 40 items that were include in the deal and receiving $20 bucks off at the register. 

I hit up my regular grocery store and also Walgreens and I scored!!

Here's what I got....

And here's what I paid...

The total for these groceries before coupons or rewards card was $156.24 including tax

I paid $64.00

BUT...

I received $21.00 to use towards my next purchase at Walgreens.

YAY FOR ME!

Last week, I purchased a lot of Fresh Items, but this week the deals I stocked up on were things like, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, yogurt and snack items. The kids were running low on snacks so I'm glad I could stock up. 

Moma has been begging me for Mac & Cheese lately and I was able to stock up on that as well. 

I won't need that for a few months now. 

Anyways. I had a great time shopping last night. It was so fun and totally got me fired up to be a coupon shopper again.

I seriously get a high off saving.

That's a Lotta Chicken!

The other day I found out that a grocery store in my area was going to be selling boneless skinless chicken breasts for only $1.18/lb. 

I seriously was giddy. 

Sad right? That chicken breasts could make me so happy? But seriously that's a GREAT price and if it doesn't make you happy then I feel sorry for you.

So I called up the store and ordered myself a case. Today, with the whole family loaded up in the car, we drove down to pick up our chicken. We picked up a few other fresh items that were also on sale. 

Here's our load....

That's 40 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts

18 apples

9 oranges

8 lemons

7 roma tomatoes

4 cucumbers

2 dozen eggs

and

1 balsamic vinegar

for just under $64.00

SWEET!!!

I feel special!

After I got home, I got out my food saver, grabbed some disposable rubber gloves (because raw chicken is icky) and went to work. 

And here's what 40 lbs of chicken ready to go in the deep freeze looks like....

And let me tell you... these chickens were WELL endowed because they all had giant boobies!

Woo Hoo!!!!!
