Shopping Results--Gaint Eagle and My Monthly Savings Report
UPDATE: Wow! I can't believe I forgot to add My Monthly Savings Report to this post. It's now posted after the shopping results. Sorry about that!
Today's trip didn't go as planned. It was pretty much a bust in my eyes. There were several deals I wanted that gave Bonus FuelPerks, unfortunately I only scored one because of out of stock shelves and the lack of labeling on the stores part.
The deal with General Mills cereal could have been great but the end cap display was pretty much empty. None of the Cheerios were marked as being part of the sale, even though the ad has a picture of them. I did ask someone and they didn't have a clue. Today is pretty busy for us and I really didn't have time to run all around the store to find someone who knew what was on sale and what isn't. So I just got everything else I needed and headed home.
My savings this week wasn't great but I'm ok with that since I've saved a TON at CVS this past week. There weren't any real good produce deals at Giant Eagle this week, so I stocked at Bottom Dollar on our veggies & fruits the other day! I really love going there for produce!
