Publix, Winn Dixie, and Costco 2/27

We are out of alot of staples at my house, so I had to run to various stores in order to get everything I needed at the cheapest price possible. Luckily, all three of these stores are within a few miles of each other, so I didn't have to go out of my way. First I went to Publix. I mostly only got sale items there, and stuff to make enchiladas for dinner (husband's favorite!). I purchased:

• 1 Old El Paso microwavable Mexican rice, reg. price $1.99, used $.50/1 MQ
• 1 Sara Lee bread, on sale for $1.99, had $.55/1 MQ
• 2 Green Giant canned corn, on sale $.64, had $1/2 SQ
• 1 Gorton's grilled shrimp, on sale $3.75, had $1/1 MQ
• 1 Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers, on sale $1.20, had $.40/1 MQ
• 2 Right Guard Men's deodorant, on sale $1.40, had $2/2 MQ
• 1 Oreo Cakesters, had FREE coupon (still had to pay $.10 since the coupon was only good up to $3.29 and these were $3.39)
• 1 Jimmy Dean Fresh Link sausage, on sale $1.99
• 1 pint strawberries, on sale $1.67
• 1 Healthy Balance apple juice, FREE coupon (thanks Two Thrifty Sisters!!)
• 1 Louana canola oil, on sale $1.70
• 1 Pillsbury Ready to Bake cookie dough, on sale $1.58
• 1 Old El Paso refried beans, reg price $1.45
• 1 Artichoke, on sale $2
• 1 Mission corn tortillas, on sale $1.25
• 1 Doritos, on sale $2
• 3 oranges, on sale $.99/lb

Overall I spent $25.49 with tax, and saved $31.50, which is over my goal of 50%!

Then I had to go to Costco since we were out of eggs, butter, and hamburger meat. I usually only buy eggs, milk, butter, and meat at Costco, since it's usually always the cheapest price. I got 5.6 lbs of lean hamburger meat, 4 lbs of butter, and 18 ct of eggs for around $22.

Winn Dixie had pork chops on sale, so I picked up 2 packs B1G1, and spent around $7.

Now, I am tired and want to go back to bed already :) Saving money wears me out!
