LOTS FREE AT BIG Y 2/10

I havent had time to post every trip lately its been busy around here.  But I can tell you my pantry and overflow is WAY stocked up now.  I actually have to refrain from buying even when dirt cheap since i have no where to put it.  I have had to start bringing things to giveaway to my MOPs group.  Which makes me feel awesome that I can help others save too by passing on some of my good bargains.

Heres what I picked up at Big Y grocery last week.  I did not take a photo of all the freezer items.  Its just too hard with the kids and I didnt want melted ice Cream.  Although then I would have had an excuse to eat it.  :)  So this is about half of it.

Dairy
2 Breakstone sour cream 2/$3  used 55 off (doubled to $1.10)= $.40each
Egglands best $3.49 used $.35 coupon (doubled to $.70) = $2.79

Gallon of Milk 3.99 used FREE Milk coupon with $100 worth of groceries

18 Green Giant Veges $2.09 B1G1 Free and 6 $1 off 3 coupons = $.71 each

Groceries
1 jar of parm cheese AND 3 things of bread crumbs.  Bread Crumbs were B1G2 free used a $1 off 2 Wheat crumbs AND a buy parm cheese get bread crumbs free. So all the bread crumbs were free and then even got the $1 off so $3.39 for all 4 or $.85 each for 4C parm cheese and bread crumbs!!!  Awesome deal

2 packs of solo cups $4.65 B1G1 used 2 $.75 off coupon doubled = $.83 each
3 Spot Shot carpet cleaner $4.53 B1G2 Free used 3 $1 off coupons = $.51 each
9 cans of peanuts on sale B1G2 free used $1 off coupons on all of them (even the free ones)= $.19/3 or 6 cents each.  I was going to get 3 and then a raincheck for honey roasted but the manager pulled more out of nowhere so.... we have tons of nuts...  Cant complain about the price though.  lol.

2 cukes $.79
Mango $1.50 (was marked $.99 on shelf?)
sunflower seeds $2.50

Total value before sale and coupons $188.70
Coupon total $65.89

I have to say this was one of my best trips.  I was so excited when it was over.  I dont expect to see big trips like this for a while.

My Husband just told me tonight he's added up what I spent this month and figures I spent about $200 less then usual and thats including all my drug store trips.  We arent sure where that money is but I didnt spend it on groceries.  :)  We discussed putting a set amount in an account so we can really see the amount saved at the end of the month and use it for something.

How are you doing on your groceries?

well It appears that the closest store that doubles coupons in my area is 35 mins away. although in my search for stores that double coupons, I found an interesting website: http://2x-3x.com. They have lists by state of the stores that double coupons.

This is a great resource although I can see already they dont list every store. I shop Big Y here and they are not on the list. Great place to check though. What stores are in your area? I found a great website that lists lots of southern grocery stores. try www.southernsavers.com
