25 Boxes of Jello

Well.... I just got back from shopping at my local Smith's (Kroger affiliate) grocery store. They were holding a coupon 'Rounding' event where any coupon under $1.00 automatically becomes worth a dollar...

I love coupons, but it Utah it isn't easy to save huge on grocery items... I can get all the free toothpaste and bodywash I want (or really anything that is sold at a Rite Aid)... but when it comes to food I have to pay... I think for my wonderful boyfriend and myself we typically spend $50 a week... I eat meat and produce (which can get pricey) and he eats like he has 2 stomachs... So yea we go through food! But I would rather buy food and make his lunch then let him eat Burger King every night (AND HE WOULD!!!)

I bought:

25 jellos (0.65-1.29) - 11 x $1.09
2 brownies ($1.25) - $1/2
mustard ($1.50) - $1
3 mustards ($1.69) - 3 x $1
4 cans green beans (1.06) - 4 x $1
Frenches worchster (1.59) - $1
2 relishs ($1.00) - 2 x $1.00
Prego Sauce ($2.11) - $2.00
Pace Picante ($2.50) - $3.00
7 powerade ($.69) - 7 x $1.00
2 Ivory ($1.00) - 2 x $1
6 Flips ($1.50) - 6 x $1
Sour Cream ($2.19) - $1
2 Zone bars ($1.25) - 2 x $1
Veggie Burger ($3.49) - $1
4 Tostino Pizza ($.99) - $2
3 goldfish ($1.00) - 3 x $1
2 Salami ($4.49) - $1.50

Total: $95.12 +2.33tax
- $58.49 in coupons

Total: $36.63 + $2.33tax

The jello is a mix of actual jello (mostly sugar-free) and pudding, which will probably be added to baking recipes... to be shared with family of course! Can't eat that all myself!

I think I have been doing really well this week... but I will wait until Friday to post a new weight! So you'll have to stay tuned!
