~What can $25 buy you?~

I remember not too long ago going to the grocery store and not being able to get much at all for $25. Today's trip was a perfect example of how combining store sales with coupons can really impact the bottom line. I have set a very aggressive grocery budget for us for the month of February. If I keep getting deals like this, I will make it!

Kroger is having a Daytona sale (buy 10 participating items, get $3), so I got my coupons ready and away we went! I got a little confused and ended up only getting 18 items instead of 20 somehow (I swear I counted them 6 times) anyway, the nice cashier boy rang up a couple more Grand's biscuits and let me go back after the transaction to get them.

Here are a few highlights:

3 Bounty paper towels (closeout) $1.03 -$1 q = .03 cents each!

2 Cottonelle toilet paper $1.19-$1 q = .19 each!

Lysol Dual wipes (closeout...got the last one!) $1.64-.75q = .89 cents

6 Chef Boyardee .58 -q = .23 cents each!

1 box Cheerios $2.49 -.75 e. q - .75 = .99 cents

1 box Cheerios $1.67-.75 q = .92 cents

1 box Cheerios $1.67 -$1q =.67 cents

1 box Cheerios $1.67- .55q = $1.12

3 Totinos Pizza Rolls $1.25 - $1.05-.50 e.q. = .10 cents toal for all 3!

2 Ritz crackers $2.68 -$1 q = $1.68 each

5 Grands biscuits .97-.75 = .22 cents

1 Grands biscuits .97-.90 = .07 cents

1 Grands biscuits .97-.80= .17 cents

Double paper $3 not on sale, but will save me tons in coupons!

2 lunch meat $3.99-$1 q = $2.99 each

Jimmie Dean sausage- $3.99 no q :(

Yogurt $2 - $1 = $1

Total spent $23.93
Total saved $46.33
