Since we were home yesterday, I go a lot done around the house. Getting those things done freed up time today to get all my coupons clipped, organized in my binder, and the extras ready to be sent out for the coupon train. Since there's no mail tomorrow, I will have to wait until Tuesday to send.
CVS
Shelf: $69.71
Paid: $13.68
Saved: $56.03 or 80.3%
That brings my numbers for the week to:
Shelf: $286.30
Paid: $116.34
Saved: $169.96 or 59.3%
This shopping also brought my most of my stockpile where it needs to be. I don't think I will spend half that this coming week. :)
Pick 'n Save
Shelf: $144.75
Paid: $34.32
Saved: $110.43 or 76.2 %
Woodman's
Shelf: $71.84*
Paid: $68.34
Saved: $3.50* or 4.8%
*The Woodman's shelf & saved amounts are not as high as they should be. The amount I listed as saved and included in the shelf price is only what I had in coupons. Because of the way their sale items ring I cannot tell what was on sale and what was not. I didn't write down regular prices so I could figure out my savings, and I am not going to start...LOL! I know I saved, and that I saved even more than when I did needs shopping at Pick 'n Save. On average, I would say regular prices are 10-15% lower at Woodman's than at Pick 'n Save on the items I normally purchase.
If you would like to play "the game", first timers can sign up for a $1 four week trail at thegrocerygame.com. Tell 'em penny-penn at sbcglobal dot net sent ya! :D
I still have to make a trip to Walgreen's or CVS. I haven't decided which one I am going to hit this week, but I think it will be CVS since I have a couple larger ExtraCare Bucks that should be waiting to print.
