11/22/08 shopping trip $46.02



I am so excited about this weeks shopping trip! I have been putting aside any extra money left in my weekly budget for Thanksgiving, and had 12.56 to add to my regular 20.00 budget for this week. I did all of my shopping at Walmart, and price matched several good deals from some local stores.

The highlight of my trip was the 16 lb turkey. Walmart's sale price was $17.07 ( if you would consider that a sale!) I price matched it to Von's ad, and got it down to 4.90. But wait, there's more! I found a $1.00 off coupon at smartsource.com last week which made it 3.90!!!

  • Canola Oil-2.98
  • Salad Dressing-2.84
  • Chopped dried onion-.50
  • (2) canned corn-1.00
  • cheeze whiz-2.28
  • turkey baster-1.97
  • (5) goody hairties-10.60
  • goody head band-2.56
  • 1.97 lb apples-1.97
  • 3 lbs yellow onion-1.50
  • (2) Green Valley Steamers-2.16
  • Tortillas-1.73
  • Graham Cracker Crust-1.00
  • walnuts-1.06
  • (2) lemon lime soda-1.54 w/ CRV

PRICE MATCHED ITEMS AT WALMART

  • (2) 2 lb bag carrots-5.00 albertsons
  • (2) chicken broth-.88 albertsons
  • (2) 10 lb bag potatoes-2.98 vallarta

  • (2) bread rolls-3.98 ralphs
  • Claim Jumper Dutch Apple Pie-3.99 ralphs
  • Claim Jumper Pumpkin Pie-3.99 ralphs
  • 16 lb Honeysuckle White turkey-4.90 vons

COUPONS-

  • (6) 2.00 ouchless hairties
  • .25 off crust
  • (2)1.00 off pillsbury rolls ( a peelie from a Progresso Soup can)
  • (2)1.00 off Green Valley Steamer from 11/15 insert ( Smart Source I think)
  • 1.00 off Honeysuckle White turkey (from smartsource e-mail)

TOTALS

  • Total-$88.93 w/ tax
  • less Price matching-25.66
  • less coupons-17.25
  • TOTAL OOP $46.02

So all in all, I did go over budget by $13.46, but I expect leftovers to take us well into next week, so we will likely save some money on next weeks budget. Also, with 20 lbs of potatoes, we will be busy for quite a while!
