This is what $11.46 at Fresh and Easy will get you

I went to Fresh and Easy Wednesday night and got a ton of stuff!  There are having a great sale right now on paper napkins, but of course I had to check all the other clearance areas.

 

I got :

6 packages of SuperSoft Table napkins = $.40 each

3 bags baby Roma Tomato's = $.49 each

2 Earth's First Paper Towels = $1.39 each

1 Gal Chocolate Milk = $3.19

2 Loaves White Bread = $.38 each

-----------------------------

$11.46

Now that was an awesome deal!   So far I have about 18 packages of the napkins ($.40 each??) you can't beat that!  I am pretty much stocked up on those for the next year.  On average I go through 1 of those a month!

Fresh and Easy Coupon

I don't usually post these coupons, but I just received this in my email and thought I would share:

Fresh and Easy Coupon

This is a coupon that expires in a couple of days but you can save 10$ when you spend $50.  Some stores may even let you combine this with the $3 or $5 off coupons as well.  Just depends on the store.

Good Deal's

Last night at Fresh and Easy I was able to get some great deals on a few items:

Soy Sauce $.75 each, I purchased (2)
Hoisan Sauce $1.25 each, I purchased (2)
Red Hot Sauce $.40 each, I purchased (2)
Tylenol Meltaways $1.15 each , I purchased (2)

All of these items were 50-75% off!

So of course I stocked up!

2010 Budget Challenge - Week 1

So for my first week in the 2010 Budget Challenge I didn't do too badly.

The budget consists of $25.00 per person.  So I have a $100.00 weekly for my family of 4.

This week I had some learning challenges with CVS, but I think I am starting to get the hang of it!  I will be heading out to Albertsons today to see what deals I can get there.

Here is a snap shot of my money spent so far:

CVS: $96.41 (this does include the big mistake of the $74 purchase)

Eating out: $5.81 (I was starving!)
Fresh and Easy: $29.45
-----------------------------
$114.53

I know I am already over budget and I still need to pick up a few items today.  But for the most part, on average I was spending about $250 a week on groceries and eating out.  This week we didn't eat out once!  I had to on Wednesday night because I work late and everyone else had already ate and was at church.  But I got a kids meal and didn't eat the whole thing...Walt finished it for me.  So technically that's a savings since it fed 2 people!

I am going to try preparing some items ahead....since I killed myself this week to make dinner every night and we were practically eating before bed time.  That made me crazy!

Here's a neat book I saw on Amazon!
