Shopping Results--Giant Eagle
Today's shopping trip wasn't one of my best. I did get a few god deals and several things we really needed.
When
I first left the store, I was really bothered by my total being about
$10 higher then what I figured. I wasn't sure what I did wrong. After I
got everything home and unpacked, I began to review my receipt. I
found the $10 error and it wasn't my error.
I bought 2 value packs of sirloin tips steaks. They are currently buy one get one free.
I chose 2 packages that were close in price & looked good. This
is what I normally do. I didn't pay attention to the label on either
package, other than the price. The register charged me full price for both packages instead of deducting the lower priced package.
The
hubster took the meat & receipt back to store. At first, the woman
working the customer service counter told him they couldn't refund our
money because these are not the same cuts of meat. One label reads
"USDA Choice Beef Round VP Sirloin Tip Steak" while the other reads
"USDA Choice Beef Round Sirloin Tip Steak". He told her they are the
same cuts. She still refused. He requested that she call the meat
department manager to come to the service desk and check. The meat
department manager confirmed that they were in fact the same cut, that
they were BOGO Free and that one package was labeled wrong. He also
instructed the customer service woman to refund our money!
If
you plan to buy the steaks or roasts that are part of the BOGO Free
sale this week, please check the wording on your packages to be sure
they match. Also, pay close attention when checking out to be sure that
the lower priced package is deducted.
Today I spent $52.73 on $99.62 worth of groceries for a savings of over 47%!
Like I said, not my best, but every penny counts!

Not all shopping trips are going to yield a 60% savings and this is the perfect example of that. I do feel that every penny I save counts! I can say...I only saved a mere 47% and I usually do better. Or I can say...I saved 47%! That's close to 50% off regular prices! And 50% off is great!

Shopping Results--CVS
Shopping
at drugstores, such as CVS, Rite Aid & Walgreens can save you a ton
of money, if you know how to work the deals. I have a post planned for
tomorrow titled The Drugstore Game: CVS. Since that post isn't complete yet, I figured I'd show you my shopping results from my quick trip to CVS today.
I
didn't buy a lot, however I saved a ton! For those of you with small
children, particularly ones still in diapers or training pants, you'll
like this one! Take a look:
I spent $21.00 for $57.75 worth of toddler items for a savings of nearly 64%!
This was done in 2 transactions
Here's how it worked:

I
buy 95% of all my family's H&B items at drugstores. As you can see
from today's transaction, there's a good reason why I take the time to
go there. It can yield much larger savings then this! At first it can
be a bit confusing to work out the drugstore deals, but I'm going to
coach you through it the best I can. Look for my post tomorrow covering
CVS!

Shopping Results--Giant Eagle & Kuhn's 6/23/2012
I
left the house by 10am this morning to go shopping. I usually try to
get going by 9, but I was slow to wake up today. We all deserve days
like that, right?
Anyways,
the shopping trips went well. There were a few things I had on my list
that I didn't end up getting, but that's ok. I ended up with 8 FREE
packages of Bounty Napkins!
There
was some debate this week on several blogs if the Bounty deal would
work or not. The Giant Eagle ad states "trail" sized napkins &
paper towels are on sale for $1. The coupon states 50¢/1 Bounty
Napkin(excluding trail size). However, I inspected the package
thoroughly and no where did it say "trail size" or "trail package". So I
think the deal is legit. I see no issue with using the coupon for the
napkins. The register accepted it without issue.
In
my opinion, it was just poor wording in the ad. These things happen
sometimes. Just always check the packaging & your coupon to be
certain you are buying the correct item that the coupon states.
Take a look at this week's shopping trip:
At Kuhn's, I paid $6.84 for $14.30 worth of groceries for a savings of over 52%!
Surprisingly, I did not use any coupons at Kuhn's.
Here's the breakdown:
Red Seedless Grapes $1.78(1.80lb)
These are on sale for 99¢/lb which is a great price!
(2) Red Bell Peppers $1.08(1.09lb)
These are on sale for 99¢/lb! Awesome price! I see them as high as $3.99/lb!
(2) Domino Sugar-4lb. $1.99 ea.
Not sure of the regular price of these. However, sugar has gone up in price in recent months so this is a great deal!
If
you have the April issue of Food Netword Magazine, there's a $1/1
coupon in it to make this deal even sweeter! I'm bummed because I threw
mine away a few weeks ago :(
At Giant Eagle, I paid $56.72 for $119.57 worth of groceries for a savings of over 52%!
I
had to separate this order into 2 transactions due to Giant Eagle's
limitation on IP(internet printable) coupons. They only allow 2 like IP
coupons per transaction. There was also a limitation on the Bounty
coupons, 4 like coupons per transaction.

Thursday and grab 2 more for the low price of 94¢ each! This cheese
freezes beautifully so it's a time great to stock up on it!

Shopping Results--Giant Eagle 6/9
I
headed off to the store today at 9am. I like to go early in the
morning or in the evening after dinner. The stores aren't as busy at
these times. I can shop & checkout without fighting the crowds or
feeling rushed. Today's shopping turned out fabulous!
I got 7 tubes of toothpaste free after coupons for a Veteran's donation
at the hubster's work. I was after free toothbrushes as well, but the
shelf was clear. I'll be going back for those. Take a look:

All
& all this shopping trip was successful. I ended up with 9 lbs. of
butter! The great thing about stocking up on butter is that it freezes
great. I don't have to worry about using it before it goes bad. The
only thing I didn't score was Sun Drop pop(soda for you non
Pittsburghers). It's $1 each wyb 5. There are $1/1 coupons for it,
making it free. The shelf was cleaned out! That's ok. Hubster doesn't
really need anymore pop. I'm satisfied with the 54% savings today!
So there's your first peek into how grocery shopping in my world works. Please post any questions or comment you have.
Here's my May shopping stats:

Total Savings: $355.23
Amount Paid: $275.94

We
came in $99.06 UNDER budget for May!!! Yippeeee! I think spending
$275 to feed a family of 4 for 1 month is awesome! I'm extremely happy

Live Frugal. Live Happy.
