Weekly shopping and menu for 2/8

Sharing is caring!

 

 

This wasn’t a great couponing week! There was just nothing great on sale, so I decided to do most of my shopping at Aldi. I was gonna do all of it there, but then I saw Kroger had great deals on milk and eggs, and I had a few digital coupons from Kroger for some free items.

 

 

 

Kroger
3 half gallons milk: $1.25 each
Eggs: $1.25- great price!
Pads- $2.59
Thomas bagels, Ragu pasta sauce, and Yoplait Greek yogurt: all FREE! Kroger always has a free Friday download, and will sometimes put digital coupons for free stuff in your account, so always keep an eye out!

Total: $7.78- 58% savings

Sams Club:
Can you tell we love cheese? =) A 5-pound bag is $11.49. Sams also sells ground turkey for $2.59 a pound, so we buy that instead of ground beef; we can’t tell the difference. Both of these were free after using a $25 gift card I got from Swagbucks!We also bought 2 pillows for $10.


Weekly Total: $52.71
Under budget, yay! Although Aldi didn’t have the parmesan cheese and black olives I wanted. John will go after work this week to see if another Aldi has it, but it’ll only bring the total up by around $3.

I chose to challenge myself this year to use my slow cooker once a day this entire year! I’ll usually do one breakfast, one dessert/bread, and 5 dinners/side items.

Sloppy joes
