Albertson's (35% saved)

We were totally out of meat so it was time for our once a month trip to Albertson's to stock up. They are always having a great meat sale so we took full advantage today. Our poor little freezer is so full. I am glad my husband is great at arranging and packing because we honestly didn't think it would all fit. We weren't planning on getting ground beef, but as we entered the store they came over the entercom saying there was a manager's special on it. Music to a couponer's ears! We ended up with 5 lbs. Needless to say, we are good on meat for a long, long time. YEAH! Here is how we did:

2 Ribeye steaks (we splurged!): ($4.88/lb) $9.58 total
3 Angus roasts B1G2 Free (with in-ad Q): $16.62 total
6 lbs. boneless/skinless chicken breast: ($1.88/lb) $11.45 total
3 lbs. 80/20 ground beef: $6.27 after $3 manager's special Q
2 lbs. 85/15 ground beef: $5.04 for both after $1.00 manager's special Q
2- 2.5 lb. packs BOGO center cut pork chops: $10.83 ($5.41 each pack)

Hubby needed breakfast sandwiches and they had a great sale which was good since I was out of Jimmy Dean Q's. They also had a super sale on Pepsi 12 packs @ 3 for $10. He stocked up and is good for a month. I don't drink soda so it will last a long, long time!

2 4-count boxes Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches: $7.98 total
3 12-count boxes Mountain Dew, Diet MD, & MD Code Red: $10.69

TOTAL before sales & Q's: $121.43

It was a great week for me with the BOGO sales. I had some really great coupons that helped me work on my stockpile! I picked up a few extra things that weren't on my list, but with all the savings I was getting, I could afford to splurge a little :-) I spent a little more than I had planned initially, but when the cashier scanned my last coupon and the total dropped below $100, I was thrilled!! Another successful trip and I literally cannot fit anything else into my pantry. I am blessed beyond words.
