My day at Cub-Budget update

I think I have hit the capacity level in my fridge and pantry for a while. This week has been bad for the budget, but my store areas are full to the brim it seems. I'm amazed that no matter what I bring in there always seems to be a place for it. I am relived that as I looked through next weeks Cub ad I didn't see much that I was interested in.

I had a great trip at Cub yesterday. It took forever, but Noah behaved well so it wasn't that bad. I had a ton of coupons for Free X WYB Y. It just too a lot of thought to make sure that I was getting the right things had wasn't forgetting any coupons.

Here is the lowdown on what we got yesterday.

2 box Thai Island Jasmine rice $1(clearance cart) -.50/1=2/$1
10 boxes of Kraft Dressing to go $1, -$1/1=10/Free
2 HillshireFarms smoked sausage $2.50=$5
1 Sara Lee hot dog Buns $1.50, -FREE WYB 2 HillshireFarms smokes Sausage=1/Free
3 Beef sticks from meat counter $1.33, -$1/meat WYB 1 buns, 1 sausage=1/$.33
Kraft Grate it fresh Parmesan cheese $1.50 (clearance cooler), -.55/1=1/$.95
1 carton Kemps Kids milk $2.50, -$1 WYB 1 Sara Lee Soft and smooth bread=1/$1.50

.66lb cherries $1.64, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=.66lb/$.64
-Raincheck for $5 off your order WYB 10 Kraft dressing=-$5
-$5 OYNO Coupon=-$5

In the end I ended up paying $5.06. I noticed last night that they had charged me $1.99per lb for the apples instead of $1 so that would have been $1.08 less on my total. Also I thought that I could use 2 of the $1 off milk coupons being I had bought 2 bread, but she said I would have had to buy 2 bread and 2 milk and wouldn't take the coupon. Not sure who is right, her or me, but she was getting tired of all my coupons and had already called the CSM once so I didn't feel like pushing it. So in the end my total should have been $2.98

I also got another $5 OYNO because I bought another 5 qualifying products, 2 sausage, 2 bread, 1 buns.


Jason also stopped at Rainbow and got me butter so I guess I'd better add that to the total also. $1.88

Total spend $6.94
Total Spend this Month $68.36
Total Left for this Month $16.64 + $5 OYNO @ Cub, and 2 Free milk up to $4 at Rainbow
