My $37 Grocery Trip!



I went to both Dillons and Aldi today and got some pretty good deals... don't miss how I got 80 ct. tubs of wipes for only .40/1!

Dillons:
  • 2 1lb. rolls of 85% lean ground beef on MS for 1.69/1=3.38
  • 1 gal. of milk=$2.50 (Aldi is cheaper at $2.30 for theirs)
  • 1/2 gal of milk on MS=.79
  • 1 loaf of Kroger value bread=.88
  • 1 bag of Kroger value bun=.88
  • 1.11 lb. of seedless grapes=.98 (grapes are on sale for .88/lb.)
  • 5lb. bag of Kroger potatoes on MS=1.79
  • 1 dozen Dillons large eggs=1.17 (Aldi is cheaper this week at 1.09 for theirs)
  • 3 bags of Kroger chips=$5 (used $1/3 coupon and got them for $4 or 1.33/1)
  • 2 packs of Oscar Mayer Deli meat=$5 (Used $1/2 coupon to get these for $4 or $2/1)
  • 3 tubs of Kroger wipes at 2.07/1=$6.21 (used $5/3 coupon from mailer to get these for 1.21 or .40/tub!!!)
  • 6 packs of 40 ct. toddler wipes on sale $10/10=$6 (used 6 1/1 coupons found on various packages to get all 6 FREE!)
Total for all this after coupons=$21.58! A savings of 65%!!!

Aldi:
  • 4lb. bag of Sunkist oranges=1.29 (what a steal!)
  • 1lb. bag of baby carrots=.99
  • 1 head of cauliflower=1.49 ( great price considering Dillons is over $2!)
  • 1 bunch of celery=1.19
  • 1 3lb. bag of pink lady apples=.50!!!! These were on special today
  • 1 bag of salad=.99
  • 1 bag of frozen corn=.95
  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes=.98
  • 1 big can of pinto beans=.99
  • 1 jar of chicken bouillon cubes=1.09
  • 1 can cream of mush soup=.49
  • 1 32 oz. tub of yogurt=1.59
  • 1 5lb. bag of sugar=2.21
Total=15.75 after tax

Total for this week=37.33 and I still have around $12 to spare before meeting my $50/week goal. I think I might head to Hy-Vee if I have a time for the awesome price they have on strawberries and blackberries this week!
