When I went to target yesterday I was excited about picking up some freebies. Although there were a couple items that I didn’t find I was pleased with what I got. I also picked up some frozen Mukimame Soy Beans (great for salads) to absorb the overage so my total wouldn’t be in the negative.

So I took these pictures last week… and I had every intention of writing about the deals I did and the things I got for free but I had such a crazy busy week that none of them made it to this blog 🙁 However, I am now going to post about the deals I did this week to make up for it 🙂

I was pleased by this shopping trip even though my out of pocket costs were a little higher than I would have liked but I was buying about $16 from the Deli alone for lunches. We are trying not to use prepackaged lunch meats with all of the preservatives and it still works out to be cheaper than buying lunches every day.

7-10-12 Winn-Dixie Meat Stock Up Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 12, 2012 None comments

So this isn’t a typical couponing shopping trip that I would post about but I figured that I would share anyways. Let’s talk about meat. It is easily the most expensive item on my grocery shopping trips and it is usually what I try to buy when I have decent moneymaker deals at Publix. But how can you save on meat not using coupons?

One thing I tried this year was buying an extra ham and turkey at Christmas time and freezing them. This actually was a really nice savings but not a lot of variety and I don’t have an extra freezer besides the small one attached to my fridge so it would be hard for me to buy more than 2 at a time.

To save money on meat I shop sales and recently I have been finding the best deals at my local Winn-Dixie. There are a lot of things that I find to be a lot more expensive at Winn-Dixie but generally not their meat department. They also have extremely good deals on meat that they put on clearance due to it being close to their sell by date. I freeze a lot of what I buy until I use it and we have never had a problem with any of their meat. The Winn-Dixie butcher himself told me he uses their clearance meat.

So on this trip I bought-

– 2 Packs of Sirloin Steaks

– 2 Packs of Chicken Breast Tenderloins

– 1 Pack of Pork Chops

– 1 Pack of Beef for pan frying (not sure what we will use this for yet)

– 1 pack of ground meat

I spent- $24.74 and saved at least $19 off of the regular Winn-Dixie prices and I’m sure it would have been a lot more than that at other stores. This meat should last us for the rest of the month and hopefully I won’t have to buy much if any more.

I actually wanted to pair my $1 off 2 Hormel coupons with their B1G1 sale but they were out of stock so I got a raincheck. We use a lot of canned chicken and this was a really good price at around $1 per can after the sale and coupons.

7-10-12 Publix Shopping Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 12, 2012 None comments

So this shopping trip at Publix I needed to get quite a few things that I didn’t have coupons for so that definitely raised my out of pocket costs. To lower them I used a $5 off of $25 Save A Lot competitor coupon and a slight overage on the Bayer. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a sale and coupon on the energy drinks and get 4 for $5. My boyfriend uses them for work and if he buys them there they are $4 for 1. I won’t bore you with the regularly priced groceries but here are the coupon deals I did in this trip-

4 Bayer Asprins- $2.63 each (I believe regular price)
– Used 4 $3 off coupons
Cost after coupons- -.37 cents moneymaker on each

6 Advil Liquid Gels 40 count – On sale for $4.49
-Used 3 $5 off 2 Advil Publix Coupons from the Green Advantage Buy Flyer
-and Used 6 $1 off Advil coupons from an assortment of places including RP 5/20
Cost after coupons- .99 cents each

Note- If you are lucky enough to find the $2 off each peelie coupons on the product this is a moneymaker deal. Both of my local stores were sold out but .99 cents each was a good enough stock up deal for me

1 Four Pack of Rockstar Energy Drinks- On Sale $5.99
– Used $1 off Publix coupon from the Yellow Advantage Flyer
Cost after coupons- $4.99

– Used $5 off of $25 Save A Lot competitor coupon

Spent- 11.61
Saved- 52.96

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 4, 2012 None comments

I was very excited to finally sit down and write about this week’s Publix trip that included deli lunch meat and cheese, hand soap, moneymakers on baby food and dog bones and finally getting to use my raincheck and coupons for the Tilapia Parchment Bakes from last week. And now I realize that I can’t find my receipt anywhere. I always save receipts so I have no clue where it could be. But anyways, I spent ~$9 and I saved ~$60 so it was a good trip.
