CVS & Giant Eagle

Today's errands left me with 2 free Hershey Aerated Bars from CVS, thanks to free item coupons I printed off.

At Giant Eagle I got 4 DiGiorno small pizzas. They were on sale for 4/$12, buy 4 and get an automatic $2 off, plus I had 3 $1 coupons & 1 $2 coupon. So 4 pizzas for $5.

I got 2 boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats with fruit in the middle. Priced at $2.50 each, plus I had a $1 coupon & a BOGO free coupon. So 2 boxes for $1.50.

Also a little birdie on A Full Cup tipped me off to a deal. Rhodes Warm & Serve Multigrain rolls are being discontinued and are 50% off, or $1.49. I had .75 coupons which doubled to make this FREE! I got 2 packages. I have 2 coupons left if I can find anymore at another store.

Purina One Cat Food $6.99 -$2q

• Black Bean Burritos
• Chicken Enchilada Casserole
• Bacon & Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Garlicky Spinach

Although I'm sure I could have done better, one of the things I'm trying to work on is to simply plan dinners and make them. We eat out a lot :( So $110/7 meals/2 people=$7.85. As I keep buying staples and stockpiling, that number will go down and down!

CVS & Giant Eagle 1/16

I'm back in the game! :)

After watching TLC's show, Extreme Couponing, I've gotten inspired to get back to couponing again. I cleaned out my coupon stash, keeping the small amount that had not yet expired, and dumpster dived for a few inserts to begin building my collection back up. Here is what I nabbed today.
