I haven’t been out and about too much as of late, the heat is keeping me indoors. I did hit a few stores last week and stocked up the stockpile a bit more.

Last Thursday we headed to Woods. They had a cereal deal going on (5/$10) and a great price on Milk too. I found a few more good deals throughout the store, and I was really happy with my coupon savings. I saved 26% on this trip, not too bad.

I had been meaning to check out our new Family Dollar for a few months now, and finally on Sunday we strolled through the store.

Their prices were competitive, and even lower on some paper products. The store was well stocked, and very clean too. I also learned that they accept manufacturers coupons, and coupons that can be printed from their website. I love a store that is coupon friendly. We will definitely be shopping there again.

So I had one freebie for the week. The pasta from Woods was 10/$10, and I had $1.00 off coupon, so that one was free. A super tasty freebie that I will turn into pasta salad.

The good buys for the week were the cereal it was $1.60 per box after the coupons, and the Crystal Light was only $.50 a box after coupons. I tried to stock up on Milk for the week too, it was down to $3.65, and that is the lowest that I have seen for quite awhile.

We’ll see what this week brings, local sales ads are out tomorrow, and I’ve got my coupons ready.
