Bargains of the week!

This has been a great week for bargain shopping. So far this year I've cut my grocery budget in half compared to last years budget. (That includes food along with anything I would have normally bought at Walmart like toiletries, makeup, etc.)

I've done a lot of shopping the last two weeks. I took 3 weeks off of shopping in February and thought I'd try to do that again this month. I'm hoping to take another 3 weeks off after this week is over. I've got so much food and paper goods stockpiled that I think this can be reasonably done again. The only thing I need to buy is meat. Of course, I'll have to buy perishables like milk, bread, dairy and some produce, but don't plan to spend more than $20 for all of those. I'm going to write out another menu later today in order to help myself stay on track. I really hope I can stick to this plan...I'll let you know how it goes!

I thought I'd share the best bargains that I scored this week:

1. 15 cans of Pringles for .65 cents each. (on clearance plus I had coupons)
2. 6 tubs of margarine: Land O Lakes and Country Crock for .19 cents each.
3. 4 FREE Glade Sense and Spray starter kits.
4. 4 FREE Glade Lasting Impressions Scented Oil PlugIns w/Fans.
5. 1 FREE 18 oz. bottle of Suave lotion.
6. 2 boxes of Better Crocker Potatoes .44 cents each.
7. 1 FREE tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste.
8. 1 FREE tube of Colgate Total toothpaste.
9. 1 FREE bottle of Garnier Frutis shampoo/conditioner.
10. 1 box of Kotex for $1.
11. 6 packages of Huggies diapers: on sale for $10.00 per pkg. I had $5 coupons which made them $5 per pkg. Then, I got $20 register rewards (RR) to spend at the store on my next visit. So, I actually paid $10 for 6 packages of Huggies diapers and was able to bless a friend with a couple packs of diapers! I now have a stockpile of 12 packages of diapers between the Huggies and the Kroger's Comforts from Dillon's.
12. 3 Huggies wipes 184 count refill packs priced at $6. 79 each. I had $5 coupons for all of them making them $1.79 each!
