Yes, we eat veggies too! Well, sometimes...

After I picked my son up from school, he, my daughter and I headed to Fry's to take advantage of a few things on sale that I didn't get last time I was there, only because they were completely out of what I wanted! I'm not sure what they fed my son at school today, but he was seriously hyped up, driving me nuts at the store, but I still managed to do OK. Here's what we picked up...

18 - boxes of Green Giant Immunity Boost frozen veggies
12 - boxes of Quaker cereal (10 Life, 2 more PB Crunch)
10 - packs of Fast Fixin' chicken strips
8 - 1/2 gallons of milk (only one in the pic, the others I already put away)
2 - loafs Fry's bread

I used:
18 - $0.25 cent/1 Q from 9/7 SS & 10/5 SS (?)
3 - $1/2 Life cereal Q
1 - $1/2 Cap'n Crunch Q
10 - Fast Fixin' printable Q's from HERE

I paid:
$21.50

I saved:
$116.60
An average savings of 84.7% (I usually aim for at least 90%, but I'm not complaining!)

And I say average because I did 6 transactions to get all of my Q's doubled/tripled & to get the Quaker cereal deal :) Doing all of this in the self checkout, BY MYSELF, WITH my 2 kids, was kinda tricky, but it IS possible people!! If I can do it, anyone can! :D

Here's what I've spent & saved since Oct. 12, 2008.
Yes, I mean in the past 15 days :)

Spent: $66.56
Saved: $615.93

So, you're wondering why I haven't bought any meats lately? Well, the last time I was at Safeway, they had ground beef on sale for $1.99 lb. (I think, something really cheap anyways), for the good 93/7 beef, and then, if you catch them at the right time of day, they put the ones that need to be bought by that day at 50% off! I scored like 30 pounds of meat for around $25.00. But like I said, that was a while ago and we still have like 20 pounds left in our freezer. :) We don't eat many other meats, only because they're expensive and I can do miracles with ground beef. :) Ocassionally I'll buy chicken, but only when it's $1.77 lb.! :)
