Grocery Trip this Week

All of this cost about $8 after coupons and rebate.
I forgot to add 2 packs of taco seasoning to the picture though, so that should be included.

These are the deals I got today:

Menard's
2 bags of Alley Cat Cat Food (3.5 lbs) = Free after rebate
3 packs of Rain-X Glass Wipes = Free after rebate

Kroger
4 bottles of Kraft BBQ Sauce = $.33 apiece after coupon
Plus a $2.00 off my next purchase coupon printed out at the register

Target
1 Kraft Mayo w/olive oil = $.99 after coupon
Plus a $1.00 off any Nivea product coupon printed out at register

Wal-Mart
1 package of Pepper Jack Tornados = Free after rebate
1 package of Kashi GoLean Waffles = Free after coupon
1 box of Smart Taste Rotini = $.50 after coupon
2 packets of Ortega Taco Seasoning = around $.25 apiece after coupon
1 bag Great Value rice = $.82 retail price
4 bottles of Kraft BBQ Sauce = $.23 apiece after coupons
2 bottles of Sure Men's Deodorant = $.28 apiece after coupons

At Wal-Mart my original total was $15.98. When the cashier entered in my coupons, it brought my total down to $5.69 after tax. Her face was so funny. Her eyes bugged out and she said, "$5.69?! Wasn't your original price 15-something?" I said, "Yeah, I think so." She looked at my receipt and said, "Yep, $15.98," and smiled. Maybe she'll start using coupons now. If you think about it, considering I had to pay full price for the Tornados but will be getting back a rebate for them, I really paid $3-something for $15.98 worth of stuff.

I ended up not getting all the stuff I had planned to get. It always turns out that way for a combination of reasons. Sometimes I have trouble finding certain things, sometimes they're out, and other times I get tired of shopping and go home without them. That's what I did at Menard's. The store is so huge and it's so hard to find everything. Instead I just made sure to get the cat food and Rain-X because those were the things I wanted the most.
