I hit several stores today and did really well. I actually only used one coupon today. Crazy, I know!! But this leads into a subject I will address later today, which is how to save money WITHOUT coupons!! Be on the lookout for that post soon!
I hit Walgreen's in Provo first to see if I could snag some Easter M&M's but they were all out. I then hit Rancho Market. I found it to be a friendly, welcoming environment. Don't worry if you don't speak spanish. My cashier spoke english. There is a lot packed into a small place and it was a bit crowded, but I made my way around. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the oranges, but the rest of the produce was just fine. So you all know, there is a $5 minimum purchase required to use credit/debit cards.
I found a happy surprise in the sliced cheese at just .89. Total spent at Rancho Market: $5.04 Total Value:$9.40
I made a quick stop at Buy Low in Provo and grabbed just a few things.
Buy Low has the best price on the Betty Crocker snacks at .98 ea when you buy 4 and use in ad coupon. I grabbed some plastic eggs for the hunt today and also took advantage of the $1.29/lb ground chicken and the Jonagold apples at @lb/$1. We will have lots of fruit this week! Total spent: $10.29 Total Value: $25.20.
Macey's was next and it was also where I had the longest list. They have amazing deals this week! Most don't even need coupons!
We use LOTS of tortilla chips and Santitas are our favorite! I grabbed 5 of those at 3/$5. I also got two of the WF whipped topping at .88 each. I splurged on a couple of scoops of mixed Easter candy for the kids' eggs. I grabbed the 10oz package of Land O Frost at $2.19. Not the best price ever, but not horrible either. The 2 lb cheese loaf was $6.98 though it is marked on sale for $5.29. I will be running back over there to get a refund. I also used my -$1/2lb any cheese online print coupon. Check your receipts!!! I grabbed a few filler flowers for my front yard. We will not be spending much on yard supplies this year. These will probably be the only flowers I buy as my front gardens are pretty much where I want them. I just need to be patient and wait for them to fill in! Total Spent: $25.46, but it will be around $23.74 when I get my refund. Total value: $34.54. The savings weren't huge, but the flowers were an impulse. Remember, as long as you aren't paying full retail and the item is something you will actually use, you're doing pretty good and better than most! :)
My last stop was Fresh Market to grab ground beef patties at $1.99/lb in a 3 lb bag for $5.97.
This pack is regularly just over $12. Probably my best savings today!
On my way back to Macey's now to collect my refund! Happy Easter!!

Note on the Macey's cheese refund: I went back over to fix the problem and was made aware that ONLY the MEDIUM cheese was on sale at $5.29. Luckily, as I had already taken it out of the store, the associate was kind enough to just fix the price and issue me a refund since the cheese would've just been thrown away if I returned it. Lesson learned: Carefully read the details of every sale item! Ask, before you buy, if you have questions! :) Thanks Macey's for being so accomodating!
