I found the bread store! Saturday shopping


The discount bread store by our house closed down a while back. I decided I was tired of paying more for bread, so I went and looked for another one. I found one that is a little farther (7 mi.), but as long as I buy enough while I'm there, the trip will be worth it. I got 10 loaves of wheat bread and 1 miniture loaf (look right in the front of the photo-it's so cute!) for $7.05. The mini loaf was $.25 and I got it just for fun. That means the other 10 loaves I bought came to $6.80 with tax or $.68 each! I have been buying bread lately at $1.50 each, so I saved $8.20 on these. Now we'll be stocked on bread for a few weeks.
I realized I had $43 in walgreens RR that expired today (Saturday), so I hit Albertsons since I can use them there. They only let me use 1 per order, so I did 3 different orders (with the help of dh). I also found an awsome deal while I was there. They have a promo right now for Kraft items where you get $5 off instantly when you buy $20 woth of certain items. The ritz crackers were 3/$5 (or $1.25 after the promo) and the kraft cheese was $2 (or $1.50 after the promo). I found coupons in the store for $1 off each pack of Ritz and coupons for free kraft cheese when you buy two nabisco crackers! I got 8 boxes of Ritz and 4 packs of kraft shredded cheese for $.34 with these coupons before even using my Walgreens RR! They also were giving a 10% off discount for military.
My husband is going to make a lasagna on Monday, so we picked up a bunch of items for that using the RR. Here's what we got in all:
2-cans tomatoes
2-cans tomato paste
3-tubs 24oz cottage cheese
8-boxes Ritz crackers
4-Kraft shredded cheese 8oz each
6-Chiquita fruit snack bites (individual size of fresh sliced apples and grapes)-free with coupons
1-dozen eggs
1-lasagne noodles 16oz
1-packet of peppercorn
4- cloves of garlic
1-bunch of green onions
11-single servings frozen tilapia
5-candy bars (used as fillers on each order)
I used 3 of my $10 RR and paid a total of: $1.09 for all 3 orders!
Total spent: $8.14
Total saved: $109.56
