Food Storage Friday

This day marks the end of my 2 week laziness with my blog. I went grocery shopping on Monday, and was able to get a few extras at great prices for my food storage. Here's what I found:


The pasta was on sale at Winn Dixie for $10/10. I had some .50/1 coupons from a Smartsource insert, so they were free!

The cereal was part of a deal where if you buy 4 for $10, Winn Dixie would give me a free gallon of milk and a free carton of eggs. I had 2 $2/2 Kellogg's cereal coupons, so I paid $6 for 4 boxes of cereal, milk and eggs!

I had a .50/1 Dole product coupon I found in Ladies' Home Journal (I found a free subscription online a while ago.) So the pineapple was free!

I paid a total of $3 for my food storage items this week!

Kids' Clothes Connection- My finds

I was able to shop at the Kids' Clothes Connection consignment sale a couple of days early, because I volunteer to work for them. Anyway, I was so excited to find bikes for both of my kids! My daughter will be 4 soon, and I found a Disney Princess bike with training wheels on it for $10! It's in great shape, and she absolutely loves it.

I knew that if I found a bike for my daughter, my 2 year old son would want one as well. I was lucky to find a "Radio Flyer" tricycle in great condition for him for $10 as well! So now my kids both have bikes, and ride them every day. It's fun for me to see them enjoying playing outside and getting exercise.

Since Halloween is coming soon, I wanted to find a costume for my son. I found a cute set of doctor scrubs that say "Doctor in Training" on the back. They were $5, and he loves them! My daughter is going to be a fairy, and we found her some wings and a tutu at Big Lots for $1/each. I bought her a leotard to go with them at the consignment sale for $1. I paid $8 for 2 costumes! I'm happy about that.

Let me know about the great second-hand deals you're finding!

Kids' Clothes Connection- Local Event

I just wanted to post about the Kids' Clothes Connection consignment sale that we have here. If you are local, be sure to check this out. Beginning Saturday morning and running for two weeks, this huge consignment sale is a great place to find gently used kids' things at great prices.

It's a great sale, even if you are not shopping for kids' things, as there are always a lot of household goods and furniture as well. (I'm looking for a lawn mower... maybe I'll be lucky and find one!)

Anyway, Here is the website, which has all of the dates and times, as well as the location.

Let me know about great finds if you shop there, or any consignment sale in your area! I'm planning to shop tomorrow. I'll share what I find.

My Kroger Trip

Well, I had a good trip to Kroger. I ended up going over my budget by $10, but I wanted to stock up on crackers, etc. - since there was a great sale.

My kids wanted to be in the pictures. I felt bad that Mr. J's head got cut off in his. My daughter's nickname is Bug, so that's what I'll call her here. She was so excited to pose with the groceries when she saw that I was taking pictures. (She is usually in bed when I go shopping, as I go at night. I have a hard time focusing on deals when I'm trying to tend to my kids at the same time.)

Anyway, here's what I found:



I had a coupon for $2 off the Nabisco cookie packs and Capri Suns. Since the Capri Suns were part of the Buy 10 Save $5 deal, I decided to use it. Together they cost me $3.50.

The Ritz crackers were also part of the deal. I had 3 "Buy Ritz get free Crackerfuls" coupons, so again, I decided to capitalize on the deal. After coupons, each box was .50.

The Maruchan Yakisoba meals were on sale 10/$10. I had 2 .50/1 coupons. Since my store doubles, I decided to try them. After all, they were free.

The Gala apples were .99/lb
The bag of oranges was $3.87 for 4 lbs.
I found lots of discounted bread. I threw one loaf in the freezer, so it will still by good by the end of the week.

The Smithfield pork tenderloin was on a BOGO sale. I only bought 1, so it was half price at $4.50. Since this will make 2 meals for us, I thought it was a good deal.

The Jell-o was part of the "Buy 10" deal. After the .50/2 coupons I used, they were .27/each!

The Easy Mac cups were part of the same sale. I had a few .55/2 coupons that I found in the aisle at the store a while ago. After sale and coupons, they were .31/each!

The Reese's Cups were on sale for .50/each. I had 3 .55/1 Reese's coupons. Free Chocolate!!!

Kroger Idaho Potatoes are on sale this week for $1.87/5 lbs. I had a $1 off any Kroger potatoes coupon that Kroger sent to me, so they were .87!

I forgot to include a carton of Edy's ice cream and 3 cans of tomatoes in my picture.

Anyway, I felt pretty good about this week, despite going a little over budget. After all, I had to buy diapers and wipes too.

I'd love to hear about how your shopping trips go! Let me know about the great deals you find.

Menu Planning Monday

Unfortunately, I am not planning much in the way of shopping this week. On Friday, we're leaving to go to New Orleans for a mini vacation, and to watch the BYU Cougars play the Tulane Green Wave. We're so excited! (the trip is a birthday present to both my husband and me. My birthday is this Friday, and his was last Wednesday)

As a result, I'm going to try to prepare meals that I already have ingredients to, so I can save a little money for the restaurants we'll inevitably visit while we're gone.

I do want to share a great blog I found though- there are so many menus planned and posted there. Let me know if you find something to try! orgjunkie.com

Lindsey's Alberston's Trip

I went to Albertson's last week and found some great deals! (They are good through tomorrow) They were having a similar deal to last week but this time you only had to spend $20 and get $5 back. Included in the deal were
Betty Crocker cake and brownie mixes 1/$1

On the back page of their ad they also had a whole list of coupons that you could use this week (for CapriSun, Kraft mayo, Oreos, Kraft cheese, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Oscar Mayer salami and bolgna, Lunchables, Kraft Singles, Ritz crackers, DiGiornio and California Pizza Kitchen pizza, Kraft salad dressing, Planters nuts, and A1). At the store I went to in Utah they also had copies of all of these next to the product in the store, so you may not need to bring your ad. All of these are on sale anyway, so it makes for really good deal. Since CapriSun was on sale I decided to buy a couple of those to put towards the amount I need to buy for a Nabisco promotion (which you can find here http://www.nabiscoworld.com/back-to-school/). I also bought the EasyMac I needed for the promotion as they were only $.91 each. With a few other coupons I had, as well as the $10 on my next purchase I got from Albertson's last week, I bought this for only $25, and got my $5 off coupon to use next time:

Food Storage Friday

Well, I didn't buy much extra this week for my food storage. All I came away with that I added to my supply was a box of Cheez-it's and a box of fruit snacks. They were both on sale for 2/$4, and I had $1/2 coupons for both. So, my total for the two was $3.

Remember though, to build a food storage, you don't have to do a lot at once. Add little by little, and you'll be surprised at how fast it grows.

My Kroger Trip this week

Wow.. I am so behind this week! I'm sorry to be so late getting posts up. I've been busy getting my daughter started in her co-op preschool, my husband's birthday was today, and other random stuff.

Anyway, Monday night, I made a trip to Kroger to get some shopping done. I didn't do great, but I stayed close to my budget of $50/week, and I got everything that I needed.
I ended up paying $54 for this, and saved about $28, so not my best, but I'm still happy with it.


Kroger is having a promotion where you can buy any 3 participating Kellogg's products, and you will get a free gallon of milk. When I got to the store, I realized that the Cheez-it's and fruit snacks were included in the deal, where I thought from the store ad that I would have to buy 3 boxed of cereal.
The Cheez-its were on sale for $2.50/each, and I had a $1/2 coupon from a Kroger mailer. The fruit snacks were 2/$4, and I bought 2 because I had a $1/2 Kellogg's fruit snacks coupon. SO, I bought the crackers, fruit snacks and milk for $7!

I wasn't planning to buy frozen chicken, but it was on sale for $4.50 for 4 lbs. I had a $1/1 pack of Kroger frozen chicken coupon from a Kroger mailer, so I decided to get it.

The Eckrich products are BOGO this week, and I had 2 $1/1 coupons. (Check last Sunday's paper.) So, the bologna ended up being .50, and the sausage was about .95.

The cake mix (for my husband's birthday today) was $10/10, and the frosting was $1.69/each. I had a $1/cake and frosting coupon, as well as a .50/1 frosting coupon for the other frosting.

The Bounty paper towels are on sale this week 10/$10. Check Sunday's P&G insert for .25/1, which doubled for me to .50 off.

The grapes were .99/lb so I stocked up. My kids love grapes, so I bought 4 lbs. I hope they're not tired of them after this week.

Anyway, those are my highlights. Since it's so late in the week, I won't post a complete Kroger deals post, but I'll include a link here for you to check their ad.

Also, check BeCentsAble's Grocery Gathering for more great deals.

Let me know what you find this week!!!
