I am happy to report that we are back to somewhat of a normal shopping routine. After a summer of kids in and out, kid’s friends in and out and kids that decided they all wanted to save money and have eaten every meal at home, we are ready to build back our depleted stockpile. All I can say is I am glad that I had quite a stockpile because I would have been spending a small fortune on food this summer. Instead, we relied on what we had and yes we went over our budget at times but I have now made a entertaining budget to have money set aside for times like that. So, our cereal stockpile of what used to be around 18 boxes is now down to 3.
Here is how my shopping went this weekend.
At ShopRite I spent $38.27. I am going to admit that I totally screwed up this order. Let’s just say my head was not in it and going to the grocery store with half your coupons and without your wallet is, well let’s say, STUPID. But, after my husband came to the store twice (once with the coupons and the other with the wallet) I walked away paying $38.27 for $60.45 worth of groceries. I could have done better but I’m just glad I got out of there with my head on straight. I did remember to pick up extra Kellogg’s Rebate Calendars so I get points for that, right? Well maybe from you guys but definitely not from my husband…sorry Pat!
At Pathmark I snagged 3 FREE bacon as well as some of the other deals going on at Pathmark. You can see them here. One thing I want to point out is that Pathmark always has meat on managers special. Now sometimes it’s not worth the extra coupon they are offering especially if the meat was only at the full retail price. But sometimes it’s really worth it. Like today. I snagged the roasting chickens for only $4.00 each because it was on special and then they had $2.00 off additional manager’s special coupons attached.
Total spent was $15.96 for $70.70 worth of groceries. Now mind you, I would have never paid full price for the groceries. But it’s fun to see what my cost would have been had I paid full price. It’s amazing to me that some people do just that. Yikes!!
I had also stopped at Costco for 2 gallons of milk and a package of Crystal Light (a treat for me) and spent $9.98 there as well as running back to ShopRite to get a loaf of bread at $1.49.
So my totals for the week are: $65.70
$10 below my budget of $75/wk

There will be 2 inserts in this weekends papers. 1 Smart Source and 1 Red Plum.
For those of you who are in the NJ Star Ledger area and have been following the disappearance of the Red Plum insert, here is what has been determined.
Apparently there is a Red Plum insert that is only in the Thursday delivered newspapers. You can not get it in the store bought copies. Possibly this is the Star Ledgers way of boosting their subscriptions. The only negative to this is that now you can only get 1 copy of the Red Plum. That does not work for me. According to my contact at the Star Ledger, this is just a temporary situation. I am not totally convinced on that so I will continue to find new solutions.
I have been told that the Bergen Record has both the Smart Source & the Red Plum but that didn’t seem to be the case for the store bought copies. There is something about those store bought copies, huh? I am too far for a subscription but again you run into that same situation where you will only wind up with 1 set of inserts, the ones from your subscription.
I know others, like areas in Somerset County, are getting both inserts in their local newspapers so I am going to make it my mission this Sunday to see what I can find and where.
In the mean time, if you would like to see what will be in the inserts this weekend and see if you even want to worry about the Red Plum, then go here to check out the Sunday Coupon Preview. You can sign up to be on their mailing list if you like to get weekly updates or you can just rely on my links here. It’s up to you, whatever is easier.

IF YOU CAN’T FIND THESE CALENDARS THAN READ THIS POST
From what I have heard, some people can not find this calendar at their ShopRite.
The calendar has 8 rebate forms for Kellogg’s products.
The deal is when you buy 10 participating Kellogg’s items in 1 transaction
you get $10 back with the mail in rebate. And you can do it 8 times.
On my last trip to ShopRite I grabbed 4 extra.
So for those of you that can’t get one I would be happy to mail it to you.
Here’s the deal:
I only have 4 so it will be for the first 4 people to leave a comment on this post with your email address and I will email you to get your mailing address.
You must be an email subscriber. If you are not, please sign up on the right sidebar before posting.
If there are 4 people ahead of you that have left a comment and you would like one, leave a comment anyway and I will do my best to get more calendars although I can’t guarantee.
UPDATE: As of 9/16 I have 2 more so leave a comment with your email address and I will get it to you.
