3/28 Big John's Grocery Trip (local store)


I needed to stock up on some meat... so I ran to my local grocery store. Ground beef and chicken are on sale for $1.79lb!!!! When I was looking at the chicken I noticed it was all natural hormone free. I didn't know that they carried that... so I grabbed 3 packages of chicken breast and 2 packages of chicken breast tenders. The pork steak I grabbed was also natural/hormone free. I grabbed 2 packages of that at $2.18lb (not a great price-- but it's natural) I also grabbed 5lbs of ground beef. My meat totals were $33.23....

My total spent was $48.82--- the rest of it was a splurge... i'm making red velvet cake balls!! :o)

Walmart New OFFICIAL Coupon Policy!!!!

I'm so absolutely THRILLED about Walmart's new coupon policy. I have so many problems with coupons at walmart that I pretty much just gave up. But with this new FABULOUS policy I feel confident about shopping there again. I STRONGLY advise that you PRINT this out and keep it in your binder, coupon box, or purse!!! GO HERE TO PRINT THIS OUT!! Gosh can you tell i'm excited!?!?!?
