Who me?

Those who know me best know I don't care for Jewel at all, but boy was this sale too much to pass up! It is only good thru tomorrow so you better hurry! I spent 34.56 today and walked out with 96.00 worth of food. Here's how I did it:

First you have to spend 30.00 on certain items to get 15.00 back in bonus cash. I goofed this up slightly but here is what I got: 6 cans progresso soup, 2 big progresso broths, 4 boxes of cereal, 2 jars of ragu sauce, 1 fettucini noodles, 2 betty crocker cookie mixes, 2 betty crocker potatoes and 2 knorr sides. This came to 34.00 then I had 10.40 in coupons for a payment of 25.34 with tax and I got 15.00 in coupon cash.
For my second transaction I got 2 bakers chocolates, 1 fajita tortillas, 2 whole fryer chickens, and 2 eye of round steak for a total of 28.36 less the 15.00 and less 4.61 for the free steak for a payment of 8.65. I am pleased as punch! So pleased that I am going back tonight and doing it again for more.

Tonight I am only spending 24.00, based on my math and coupons and should come home with another 75.00 in food.

I didn't do as well as some of the other ladies online, but to have only spent 34.56 and to have all of this is truly a blessing to my budget. If you want to check out more, go here and a BIG thank you to Meredes.....I had no clue this was going on because I did not purchase a Sunday paper this week.
