2 Good Shopping Trips Today

I wish all my shopping trips went as well as my two today (despite fighting the crowds of bread and milk "OMG it's gonna snow" shoppers).  I think the fact that the stores were so busy helped me stick to my plan that much more.  First I hit Kroger....

  • 2 Carnation Instant Breakfast @ 4.99 each = 9.98
  • 3 Old El Paso Refried Beans @ 3/$4 = $4
  • 2 Old El Paso Taco Seasoning @ $1.09 each = 2.18
  • 2 Athenos Hummus @ .98 each = 1.96
  • Flatbread = $2.50
- used $2/2 Carnation Instant Breakfast
- used (5) .50/1 Old El Paso product (doubled to $1)
- used $2/2 Athenos

Total after tax: $13.11


From there I headed to Publix (which wasn't nearly as busy for some reason), and bought....

  • 2 Old Spice antiperspirants @ 2/$6
  • Old Spice body wash @ $3
  • 2 Yoplait Smoothies @ $3.19 BOGO
  • 2 Swiss Miss hot chocolate @ $1.99 = $3.98
  • 2 Publix Yogurt @ $1.89 = $3.78
  • 1 Deli Yo-Yo Cookie @ $1.99 (couldn't resist)
- used $1/2 Old Spice antiperspirant
- used B1 Old Spice antiperspirant G1 body wash
- used (2) $2/1 Swiss Miss
- used (2) $1.25/1 Yoplait Smoothie

Total: $12.65 after tax


These were both pretty small trips and hopefully I can keep them small for the most part now that we have a decent stockpile of most (non-perishable) items that we use regularly.  The best thing about both of these trips is the items I got totally FREE at each store.  I almost forgot about the Swiss Miss until I was in line.  I had to go back for those (they weren't even on sale but just the fact that they were free after the coupons made it worth getting out of line).
