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
2 Sara Lee Soft and smooth bread $2, =2/$4
3 bags live lettuce $1.50, -$1 off lettuce WYB 2 Kraft dressing, -2 $2 off bagged salad=3/-$.50
1 Personal size watermelon $4, -$3 off whole watermelon WYB buns and sausage, -$1 off produce WYB Kraft Parmesan cheese=1/Free
4 Kiwi $1, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=4/Free
2 apples $2.17, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=2/$1.17
1.83 lb bananas $1.08, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=1.83lb/$.08
.95lb necarines $1.89, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing= .95lb/$.89
.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

More cereal...
I kept debating over and over about getting more cereal. We have a ton, but were running out of Cheerios and Rice Chex. I knew that I wanted to get some Propel because I had coupons for it and decided that if I was going to get it anyway then getting the cereal would be a good idea. I ended up doing two transactions yesterday.
Between the two this is what I ended up with:
2 boxes of Wheaties
2 Boxes of Wheat Chex
4 Boxes of Rice Chex
16 Boxes of Cheerios
20 bottles of Propel
2 Gallons of milk
2 coupons for free milk up to $4
total OOP after coupons $16.80
Also got more cheese at Target. Tuesday 4 slices per bag was just over .15 lb each so most of them were $1.05. Yesterday they must have sliced it thiner because ever bag was under $1. The coupon does not adjust or beep if it is under $1, but I don't feel right purposely getting an overage on these. The total for 10 bags came $8.40 so I only used 8 $1/1 coupons. Total OOP $.40
Spending this trip $17.20
Total Spend this Month $61.42
Total Left for this Month $23.58 + $5 OYNO @ Cub, and 2 Free milk up to $4 at Rainbow

Good deals worth looking into this week.
I haven't gotten the list made up yet, but there are a couple of deals that I thought I would let you know about. I posted them on HCW so I'm just going to take the post from there and ad it here. Yeah, can you tell I'm feeling lazy and tired tonight?
Cub as a deal going through 6-24 where if you buy 5 specified Sara Lee, Ballpark, or Hillshire Farm products you get a $5 OYNO coupon at checkout.
This is what I did today. It's a great price in the end.
4 Johnsonville brats $10
2 Sara Lee Buns $3
-2 B2 Johnsonville, get 1 buns free= $3
-$5 print out
Total OOP $5 for 4lbs of brats. I know the ad says sausage, but it pictures cheddarwarst as does the coupons. I got the Cheddarwaurst and it worked just fine.
I think there are MF for the brats, but not sure. Maybe $.35/1. That would mean an extra $1.40 off if you have 4 of them. It would make it less then $1 per lb + the free buns.
Rainbow also has buy 6 cereal get $10 off + 1 free milk. If you have some good coupons this can be a good deal. I thought I had it all figured, but just realized I had it all wrong. Maybe I can work up another plan and post it later.

What have I been buying?
Time for an update on a few things.
The garage sale went well. We had been collecting free items from CVS, Target, wherever. Pretty much anything that was free or that would make money when you bought it. We had almost two tables full of items and sold most everything. The only thing that didn't sell was the hair dye and diabetic meters.
I actually accomplished my long long list of places to go last Wednesday. Being I was going out for double coupons at Rainbow I wanted to get all the other stops for the week done as well.
I have some reciepts to ad up also. I can't seem to find the one for Rainbow last Wednesday, but know what I got.

I bought a lot of stuff at CVS with rainchecks last month. I try to hold them until I have coupons to go with them or I can use the raincheck and get an ECB with it. I wanted to get extra things for the garage sale so I just used up most of the rainchecks I had. In the end I paid out $3.99 in ECB, and $1.76 on a gift card. I made $18 back in ECB so the total profit was $12.25 in ECBs.
