Shopping Plan for the Week of 6/25/11

So here is the spreadsheet format that I use to calculate my savings.  I'm not sure how to upload a copy of the excel sheet so you can see the formulas but this gives you an idea at least.

Best Savings to Date

This is Pete's favorite deodorant.  It can cost up to $5 a piece!  I recently went thru my digital coupons and manufacturer coupons after he mentioned that he was going to need some soon.

I managed to get 2 of these for only......$1!  This is by far my best savings yet.  

The Plan - 6.5

So according to all the couponers out there you should really focus on 1 store until you get your process down.  They also suggest using the store closest to your house since it's last travel time.  I noticed on the weekly flyer for Safeway that it mentions they double coupons up to .50 so even though it's a little further, maybe 20 miles, I'm going to focus on them.  The only problem is not being able to scope out the store before I actually go shop.

SAFEWAY - Running a great sale this week where if you buy 8 participating items (mix & match) you get an additional .50 (per item) off the sale price.

CITY MARKET - Also having some really good sales on a few things we need.  Chocolate, I have a 1.50 off Catalina for snacksize butterfingers and they are 2/$4 this week.  Chicken Quarters are .59! That's such a great deal so we'll be getting 10 lbs if we can.  I have coupons for Blue Tortilla chips with the sale this week they'll be .89 ea.  Cheese is on sale 2/$5, not the best price but cheaper than safeway this week.  


With my Sunday papers, we will be spending more that our budget this week but there are a few deals we just can't pass up.
