My Grocery Shopping This Week

This is what I bought this week at Walmart and Meijer.   For these items, I spent a total of right about $34.00.  Right after I took this picture, my husband went to County Market and picked up a lime, and cilantro for some fresh salsa, as well as 2 packages of Homestyle Flour tortillas for a total of right about $4.00.  So a total of $38.00 for this week.  I am planning on trying to incorporate more natural and organic foods after this with the extra money I have left in my grocery budget, from the last couple weeks.  I am not sure if I will buy some items at the health food store or what.  I know I need some more whole wheat flour, and I am thinking about getting bulk wheat kernels.  I have access to a wheat grinder and I am thinking about trying that as it should be much healthier for my family.  I am ready to make some big changes to my family's diet and I am trying to brainstorm right now what would be the easiest (and least expensive) things that I could do to reap the most benefits.  I have a large enough stockpile right now that I could start trying to incorporate more organic foods into our diet without increasing my budget for a while.  My only problem is that my local stores don't carry hardly any organic products :(  Of course I'll let you know what I end up doing.  Oh, yeah, my grandma gave me all the wonderful pecans in the picture at the very bottom as well :)  I can't wait to make a delicious oatmeal pecan pie for Thanksgiving.  It is  somewhat healthier(is it possible for a pecan pie to be healthy?  Lol) than traditional pecan pie and it is sooo good!  I calculated up that without any coupons or price-matching all the groceries I bought this week would have cost $110.60, so I saved about 66%.
Here's what I bought(Walmart):
  • 2 avocados price matched to .49 each with Aldi
  • 2 Broccoli crowns price matched to .88/lb. with My Store
  • 1 lb. bag of Earthbound Farm Organic carrots .88 - .75/1 manufacturer coupon = .13
  • (2) 3 lb. bags of Jonathon apples price matched to $1.39 per bag with Schnucks (I am looking forward to lots of fresh carrot/apple juice this week!)
  • 1 pork loin price matched to $1.79/lb. with Kroger (this actually wasn't price matched right- it should of been about $3 less and I am planning on getting my money back the next time I go to Walmart)
  • Garlic bulb= .29
  • 2 bottles of Heinz vinegar $1.12 each and I used (2) .50/1 manufacturer coupons = .62 each
  • 4 packages of Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta price matched to .99 each with Meijer- (4) $1/1 manufacturer coupons (adjusted down to .99 each)= free
  • 3 packages of Barilla pasta price matched to .99 with County Market- (3) $1/1 manufacturer coupons= free
  • 24 oz. Prairie Farms Cottage Cheese price matched to $1.50 with IGA
  • (4) 16 oz. rolls of Jimmy Dean sausage price matched to $1.50 each with Meijer- (4) $1/1 manufacturer coupons = .50 each (I am going to freeze all of this and it should last us about 6 months or more- we really don't eat that much sausage!)
  • 2 boxes of Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked sausage price matched to $1.50 each- (2) $1/1 manufacturer coupons = .50 each
  • 1 bottle of Coffee-mate price matched to $1.50 with IGA - $1.50/1 manufacturer coupon= free
  • 1 family size bag of Tostitos chips price matched to $2.99 with IGA
  • 1 box of New York Brand breadsticks price matched to $1.79 with IGA- $1/1 manufacturer coupon = free
  • 4 California Pizza kitchen pizzas for one price matched to $2.50 each with Meijer- (4) $2/1 manufacturer coupons = .50 each
  • 6 jars of Prego Pasta sauce price matched to $1.50 each with Meijer- (3) $1/2 manufacturer coupons = $1 each
  • 4 boxes of Triscuits price matched to $1.88 each with My Store- $3/4 manufacturer coupon = $1.13 each
Meijer:

  • 2 bottles of Pompeian Olive Oil for $2.99 each- (2) $2.00/1 Meijer mealbox coupons - (2) $1/1 manufacturer coupons = free
  • 2 bags of Snikiddy Gluten free cheese puffs for $2 each - (2) manufacturer coupons for free items= free
  • Grapes:  a little more than 2 pounds @ .89/lb. = $1.83 
If you have any questions about the exact coupons that I used just leave a comment and I will be happy to let you know!  It is just taking me waaay too long to link up every coupon that I use.

*If you are interested in learning more about price-matching, you can check out this post.

$5 Hallmark Coupons Back Again This Year?

It is being reported that the $5 Hallmark coupons that were available in a number of different magazines last year may be available again this year.  The coupon last year looked like the one above.  This year they are known to be in the Nov./Dec. issue of Midwest Living!  Hopefully we will see them start to crop up in a bunch of different magazines again soon!  I got lots of the small Yankee Candles, really nice gift wrap, and candy for my son's stocking all for free at Hallmark with these coupons last year!

Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is one of my favorite foods ever-thanks to my friend Heather for getting me addicted to it :)
It is really easy to make and healthy for you too!  If you have some of the ingredients available in your own garden, then it is pretty inexpensive to make as well.  This pasta salad is very versatile- you can change the ingredients that you add to suit your palate or depending on what you have on hand.

Here's what you need:
  • 12-16 oz. of pasta cooked.  I used some whole wheat noodles this time, but I often use tri-colored rotini.  Lots of different pasta would be great with it though- bow- tie, penne, any type of rotini, or shaped pasta.
  • Italian Salad Dressing- this time I used zesty italian, but I have some sun-dried tomato vinegarette that I think I'll try next time.
  • Tomatoes:  either cherry, grape, or chopped whole tomatoes
  • Sweet Bell Pepper (like green) chopped up
  • Optional:
    • black beans- rinsed and drained.  I added about 1/2 a can this time and it was really good
    • fresh basil diced up
    • Chopped up yellow or red onion
    • sliced black olives
    • chopped up cucumber
    • cheese- parmesan or Feta- I sprinkled on some Feta cheese this time and it is delicious!
    • I think I might actually be able to get my husband to eat this if I tried sprinkling on cooked, chopped up bacon.
After you cook the pasta, drain and rinse it if you would like with cold water to help bring down the temperature of it.  Add all the other ingredients you are using to the pasta and toss to coat with the dressing of your choice. 


Swag Code Available for 8 Swag Bucks

What We Have Been Up To Today

My little guy and I have been enjoying a nice morning at Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site:
Doesn't this girl just look so comfortable?  It was pretty funny because these two kept on snorting and grunting back and forth to each other while they were laying down, like they were just kicking back and having a little chat.
A baby calf and it's mother.

Remember That Whole Pringles Freebie Scare?

Remember about a month ago when lots of people freaked out and thought that the free coupon for Pringles Xtreme was a scam?  Well, I just got mine in the mail today!  I know, not very healthy huh?  I can only imagine that the Xtreme means tons of extra sodium.  I honestly have no desire to try these but when free things are offered I usually sign up for them because I can at least give the coupon or product away to someone else who would like it.  Have you gotten your coupon yet, if you signed up for this?

Emailing Companies

If you would like to learn more about how I email companies for high value and free coupons- check out this post.

Thinking about emailing companies for coupons, but don't know where to start?  Here are a few good companies to email for coupons if you are just starting out:
  1. Bar S Foods :  What I received: VIP voucher for $5 in free products
  2. Kettle Brand:  What I received:  2 coupons for free products (no max value) and one coupon for $1/1 product.  I ended up redeeming these for a $7 jar of almond butter and a $5 family size bag of Kettle chips.
  3. Sweet Baby Rays:  What I received:  2 coupons for free Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and one $1/1 coupon for BBQ sauce (made for another free bottle), as well as a $1/1 coupon for Ken's marinade, and $1/1 coupon for Ken's dressing.
  4. Chiquita Bananas:  What I received:  coupon for free bananas up to $1.25
  5. Bayer ( I know they send out free coupons for both Flintstone Vitamins and Aleve Pain reliever)  What I received:  Free Flintstone Vitamins up to $15.00
All of these companies are great to start out with if you are new to emailing companies because they all have a good track record for sending out free coupons for compliments.  The coupons that I received after emailing these companies were all from sending them compliments.  However, you don't have to compliment a company when you email them- you can send them a complaint or even a question too.  I have received several coupons for free items by emailing questions about products.  

In My Mailbox

Here are the free things that I found in my mailbox yesterday and today:
  • 6 coupons for free 20 oz. Coke Products from My Coke Rewards
  • Sample of Aleve Pain Reliever from Sam's Club
  • Coupon for a free Zone Perfect Bar from a Facebook Promotion
  • L'oreal Everpure Shampoo and Conditioner sample
  • Dove Shampoo and Conditioner sample
  • Sample of Crest For Me toothpaste  as well as coupons from Vocalpoint ( I love these toothpaste and Shampoo/conditioner samples- they make packing for trips so easy and mess-free!).  You can find out about Vocalpoint and all my other favorite programs by clicking on the My Favorite Programs Link in the Categories section on the right side of my page.
