Shopping trip today!!

Today we Went grocery shopping, and when I say we I mean the entire family.

Today we went to Wal-Mart and To IGA. I know i'm not the biggest fan of Wal-mart. I try very hard to limit my Wal-Mart trips. I refuse to walk into the strore without a plan or a list. If I do I drasticlly over spend. So every few weeks or so I look at St. Louis Mommy.com and find out what coupon deals are going on at Wal-Mart and go pick those items up. (I do the same for Target)

Here is a breakdown of my trips

Walmart

Total value 44
total saved 25%

IGA

total saved 15
total value 45
total saved 33%


Totals

total out of pocket 63

Super Valu

First I have to apologize for not getting these list together last week.. besides a quick trip into Super Valu, I didn't do any grocery shopping, and barely even looked at the flyers.

But here is a list for this week!

Boneless Arm Roast 1.97 lb

Bone in Pork Butt Roast .99 lb
(this is something I haven't bought before.. anyone with some suggestions about cooking it, please leave me a comment.)

Hunter Hot dogs .99

Potatoes 1.29 5lb bag

Frosted Flakes 2/5$
although I think there are some coupons flying around, I can't seem to find them.. which is fine because this is still a little expensive)

Sunny D 2/4$

Stouffers Entree's 4/6$

Cheetos and Fritos 2/4$

Prarie Farms 1% Mild 1.99$
with store coupon

Juicy Juice 2/4.50
$1/2 Juicy Juice Products, exp. 11-1-09 (RP 8/9/09)

Delmonte Veggies 5/4.50
$1/5 Del Monte Fruits, Vegetables, Tomatoes or Fruit Cup Snacks, exp. 11-14-09 (RP 9/20/09)

$1.10/3 Progresso Soups printable (coupons.com)
$1.10/3 Progresso Soups printable (smartsource.com)

Lastly there is a coupon in the flyer for 5$ off when you buy 10 general mills products. I think the best bet would be Progresso soup (if they let you use that coupon and the flyer coupon)
it would be

10-1.50 each+= 15.00
3 1.10coupons....3.30
-----------------------
11.70
5$/10 coupon
------------------------
6.70 (after coupons) or .67 each

and as usual this isn't everything in the flyer.. just the food I thought was note worthy
