“That’s good,” the lady at the checkout said to me when she saw my haul. “You are eating healthy!” I was absurdly proud. OK, yeah, there are some instant mashed potatoes there. But look at all that veggie goodness! HT was having neither Triples nor Super Doubles this week, and yet I managed to score mightily. Not that I’m proud, or anything. Observe: After the jump, the details. First things first: Mr. Jones got a job! WOO HOO! I cannot tell you how excited we are. He starts Feb. 8, and I would be lying if I said we weren’t indulging in a little debauchery: We ordered Papa John’s the night we found out, and then last night we went out to eat [...] I’m putting this one up a little late, but I’m pretty proud of it. CVS has some great deals, but they only come around once in a blue moon. This was a blue moon! Trip One: Six cases of Pepsi products for $20. Using a coupon for $4 off a $20 purchase made it six cases [...] On Sunday, I made a big batch of food to take to work for the coming weeks. Specifically, I made 12 Sausage Egg Biscuits for breakfast purposes, and 10 burritos for lunch purposes. The breakdown: Biscuits: Bisquick and milk, approximately 50 cents; sausage, $3; 10 eggs, about $1. Total, $4.50, or 38 cents per biscuit. Burritos: Tortillas, [...] Our Target recently became a SuperTarget, and I have been shopping there for groceries a time or two. My theory was that they have generally cheaper base prices on most things, but that their sales aren’t as good, since their loss leaders tend to be non-grocery items. Also, they don’t double (or triple, or Super [...] We were out of town from Wednesday, directly after my last Super Doubles trip, until today, and the first thing I did was head for Harris Teeter. OK, that’s a lie. The first thing I did was take a long, long shower (what is it about a road trip that makes you feel so grimy?) and [...] What I learned today: If you save enough at Harris Teeter (I think more than $100), they have to get a manager to come over and approve it. Super Doubles, I missed you. I missed you, I missed you, I missed you! Here’s how I did. I’ve got a friend who wants to get started couponing, so on Saturday we went to Harris Teeter together. She lives in the city and doesn’t have a car, so she usually walks to the Safeway; I drove, so we had our choice of supermarket. We picked HT. Harris Teeter is having Super Doubles starting Wednesday! |
