I'm not aware of a new batch of Lawry's. You are correct that the last batch expired Tuesday.Would have made for some cheap Lawry's seasonings!
The only reason I purchased the OM Qs was that they had a picture of the Q in the auction. Hopefully it's valid. I could not find any negative feedback for this seller, so hopefully it's all good. The Qs don't expire until 9/31/12 so I figure that gives me some time to get some cheap OM over the summer on sale.

There were "unattached on the cap coupons" on Lawry's marinade and Sweet Baby Ray's dipping sauces at Meijer today.
Aso the Kikkomann teriyaki sauce had $0.55 peelies, so if your store bonuses those they would be worth $1 to you guys.
I buy a couple of sets of coupons a week. I always look closely at the coupons (enlarge them)and really comfirm the exp date and details, and the barcode type.

Numbers could have been better but due to mPerks and catalina issue at Meijer I spent an extra $13 OOP... but I have $13 in Meijer coupons to use in the future, so all is not lost. Figure I might stock up on some meat/pork with those.
Creeping back towards the 70% overall savings for the year. Will be interesting to see if Marsh has triple coupons this week. Last year they started it on Memorial Day weekend. I've already got my insert and binder list sorted and filtered alphabetically and by coupon value and I'm ready to go!

Another week and just barely over my weekly budget. This next week is going to be a big one. I bought $40 worth of boneless NY Strip steak at Marsh today but did score on (4) 12-packs for $1.67 each. Going to Meijer Tuesday to load up on ground beef and Kraft cheese singles. I haven't made my Meijer run for this sales circular.

good for you! I've been to Meijer 4x, Kroger 3x and Marsh 1x just since Thursday. DH went tonight and bought himself Tbone steak for our cookout tonight. $15 - ouch! But he was one happy camper - I've never heard a man moan and groan in pure pleasure like that over a meal before.

May 2012 Totals
Total Purchased: $1,133.73
Total Spent: $406.46
Total Saved: $727.27 (64.15%)
So much for that low OOP May total I was hoping for! Still not bad savings for the month at almost 65%. I'm almost positive that this upcoming week will be a very quiet one for me. Nothing jumps out at me for Marsh, Meijer or Kroger. I will need to pick up a handful of items (eggs, bread, milk) but other than that I'm going to just sit back and relax for once. I am almost positive that we could have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the rest of the summer and not need to buy anything (other than perishables).
Throwing in this week's totals as well since I don't see myself buying anything until maybe Wags and CVS on Sunday. Not knock your socks off savings but I did buy several steaks at Marsh, at least 15# of ground beef at Meijer, 4 bottles of Coppertone at Target and produce at Aldi.
Week #22 May 27 - June 2
Total Purchased: $265.82
Total Spent: $102.17
Total Saved: $163.65 (61.56%)
My goal moving forward is to bring my weekly average down from $92 to my original goal of $80 a week. With a few vacations planned this summer we will have a few slow weeks for sure.

Under budget this week which is nice. Again nothing spectacular but 60% savings is nothing to sneeze at. Finally going back to Meijer this evening for the first time since May 29. I've got a good list and shouldn't be more than $30 out of pocket with almost 65% savings (I hope). Still working my way towards 70% savings for the year. I don't want to say I'm burned out but I'm not as motivated to get some of the deals available recently. We've got such a large stockpile that I need to take a step back maybe even take a break.

Pretty good week for savings, but still over budget. I hit Meijer hard last week on the 2-day Kraft/OMayer sale as well as earlier on Tai-Pei frozen entrees, 10# of pork loin, etc. Our freezer is really stocked now with all kinds of chicken breast/strips, pork chops/loin, ground chuck/round/beef and various steaks. Headed to Northwest Virginia in a few weeks for vacation and doubt I do much grocery shopping between now and then. Only been to the store once this week and that was splurging on Father's Day for some nice tiger prawns and ribeyes that were on sale at Marsh.
