BI-LO BARGAINS

I spent more at Bi-Lo this week than usual, but that's because they had ground chuck and boneless chicken breast on sale at the same time. These are staples in my house. This is what I bought:

6 boxes Kleenex
4 4lb bags Dixie Crystals Sugar
1 Mt. Olive Banana Peppers
2 Martha White Biscuit Mix
1 Nabisco Classic Cookies
1 10 Potatoes
2 SH Dip Mix
1 SH Hamburger Buns
5 Chef Boyardee Pasta
1 Marcal Tissue
1 SH Sloppy Joe Sauce
4 Campbells Cream Soups
6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Gallon Milk
1 Gain Dish Liquid

My total before sales and coupons was 93.69.
Total I spent was 41.81.
I saved 51.88 or 55%.

This savings is not as much as usual, but still pretty good, considering I bought potatoes, milk, and ground chuck, and 4 bags of sugar. The meat and sugar were on sale but only by about 40%. Also, I could not find my coupon for the biscuit mix. I did 2 separate transactions because there was a catalina deal on the Kleenex and a limit of 2 on the sugar. I paid for the Kleenex and 2 bags of sugar first and received a coupon for $3 off mt next order, which I used on the second transaction. My banana peppers rang up full-price and I did not catch it until I started writing this post. I will probably stop at the service desk next week and see if they will correct the mistake.

RARE COUPON ON GROUND BEEF

This is a rarity. We seldom see a coupon on meat. Go HERE and scroll to the bottom of the page. Click on "Free Code Play. A little box will pop up with a code in it. Enter the code and your email address as directed. Then start typing in the names of grocery stores in your area. The only one I could find in my area was Piggly Wiggly, though I know that Target Superstore is also on the list. Once you have done this click on "Check your code". You will be asked for your ID info, and then directed to the next page to see if you have won. You could even win a cart full of store brand groceries! You can play once per day, per email address. My Publix accepts any coupon that says "Manufacturer's Coupon", so I'm hoping for a deal there. If not, Piggly Wiggly often has ground beef on sale.

FREE BURGER & FRIES

Do you have an A & W Root Beer Restaurant location in your area? If so, go HERE to like them on Facebook, and you will be able to print a coupon for a free burger & fries with the purchase of a 32 oz drink. Sounds like a good deal to me. I wish I had one closer to me!
