You gotta love Krogers price guarantee. The Cheerios are on sale 3/$5. I went through the SCO and they rang up at $3.09.(Really... $3.09! Who pays $3.09 for a small box of Cheerios?) CS refunded me $3.09 for the first box, the $1.42 difference on the second box plus tax = $4.56

Meijer

Tax $2.05
Used $2.50/$30.00 SQ, $4 oyno cat
Total $19.81
Rec. $5 oyno SQ for Pantene and $4 oyno SQ for Downy

The Downy deal isn't worth it IMO. I only did it because I was already spending over $15 on Pantene and vacuum bags. With the Downy added on I could use the $2.50/$30 SQ which made it an o.k. deal.

Total for the day $22.28

Our Cheerios and Trix cereal deal was only for 4 days, last Thursday through Sunday, not all week. Not sure about Illinois though.

You know, you're absolutely right. It was only a 4 day sale. I didn't even think to read the fine print on the display sign. Oopsie. Oh well, I'm sure they made sure to remove all the old signs as soon as I left. And truthfully, if the guy at CS had just shown me the 4 day sale ad I probably would have crawled out of there in embarrassment.

Just a quick trip for some refried beans I need for a recipe I'm making tonight. Hmmm...hard to believe there weren't any in the stockpile. This could be a sign I need to reorganize.

I understand about going over budget and reorganization. I went through stockpile last night checking dates and making note if low on anything.

Not seeing much of anything I need in the sales flyers this week. I may (almost) be able to avoid shopping for an entire seven days in a row. woohoo! The only exception is I had to use up some expiring ECBs at CVS. I would of rather held on to them but my local CVS's stopped accepting expired ECBs about a month ago. boo

On a side note: For several weeks now I've noticed that no matter where I park my car there are always wasps all around it. Freaks me out a bit because I'm allergic. I couldn't figure it out. How do I always manage to be near a wasp nest? I have a red car, do they like red? Is my car emitting some kind of wasp pheromone? Nope. The little buggers built a nest inside the side mirror on the drivers side. So I've been carting them all around town with me and royally ticking them off at the same time. Drenched the side mirror with some ancient wasp and hornet spray I found under the sink, here's hoping it doesn't take the paint off my car. :/
