All You Grocery Challenge Progress

I went to Sam's Club and Smith's yesterday to do a little grocery shopping for the week. Here's how I've fared so far.

Sam's Club
My membership is up in August, and a few weeks ago I got a coupon in the mail for a free $15 Sam's Club gift card if you renew before July 26th. I was planning on renewing anyway (we do it mainly for the gas) so I stopped in yesterday to renew and pick up my gift card.

$10.44 Pork Loin Roast
$2.96 Romaine Lettuce
$7.30 Hidden Valley Ranch Mix
-$15 gift card
= $5.70 + $1.24 tax
(Saved $15.00)

Smith's
When I hit up the mega savings event last week, my Smith's was all out of the Playtex gloves, which were a money-maker after coupon. Lucky for me, they were restocked last night! I also had a pleasant surprise on my receipt when two Shortcuts coupons came through on my Fresh Values Card for the yogurts I bought. I love it when I forget about those!

I love how Smith's prints your percentage savings on the bottom of the receipt. It gives me warm fuzzies. :)

Total spent for the week = $24.06
Total saved for the week = $52.98

Monday Drugstore Deals

I hit up Walgreens on my way to work yesterday morning. I felt like I hadn't been there in a while, and the little old lady cashier said the same thing. She even remembered to automatically hold out her hand for my coupons after she finished ringing it all up. Too funny.
