Stockpile for 21.38

Ran to Owen' last night for cat food and since I had to go there, I thought I would get a few things for my stockpile. I ended up buying 39 items, using 23 coupons and saving 73% on my bill. My total before any Owens sale prices and coupons was: $78.11 - my out of pocket after sale prices and coupons: $ 21.38.
Here's what I got:
8 packages of Old El Paso soft taco shells
2 pkgs of Old El Paso Fajita seasoning
1 pkg of Old El Paso taco seasoning
1 pkg of Old El Paso Burrito seasoning
8 bottles of Sunny D - reduced sugar- juice
6 Jars of Prego Spaghetti Sauce
3 boxes of Toaster Strudels
3 cans of Cinnamon rolls
6 cans of Campbells Tomato soup
and 1 bag of cat food.

Now remeber, that this was for my pantry/stockpile and it all will come in handy for the next 4-6 weeks. Can anyone say 'OLE? I can't wait to make crockpot Faijtas with the left over chicken that I bought earlier in the week!! YUM.
This weeks Indy star had some pretty good coupons- there is a 50 cent coupon on Nesquick that will double and Owens has the ready serve Nesquick on sale for 88cents- Free milk for lunch boxes and overage!!! I might have to buy some extra coupons on line for that one! Plus don't forget that you can buy Cottonelle TP at Owen's for NADA with your 50 cent coupon that came out 2 weeks ago-- again, I might buy some more of those coupons for free TP. Have fun shopping this week!

Feeding our family of 5 for $46.74 this week!

Ok, I did not make it to Meijer today as planned. I just did'nt feel the need to waste the gas since, Meijer was the only store I would visit. So instead I went to Walmart and had them price match the items from the Meijer ad. They obviously could not price match the 50% off items- but that's ok, I'm stocked up on Lysol cleaning products and I really don't uses spray 'n wash all that much. Anyway- did you see my picture.... let me tell you what I got....
1 Bag of Popcorn chicken (no coupon pd 6.32)
2 2lb bags of Clemintine oranges (no coupon paid 7.00)
6 Easy Mac cups (great snack after school)75c each- had 2.00 in coupons
1 bottle of ketchup (no coupon paid 1.50)
2 bags of Tyson Frozen chicken Breasts (40oz each- no coupon 6.00 a bag)
2.5 lbs of Ground Sirloin (no coupon paid 7.74)
2 lg cans of Mandarian oranges (no coupon paid .68 each)
2 2 liters of Mountain Dew (no coupon 1.00 each)
2 Frozen Lean Cuisine raviollli (1.88 each, had 2.00 in coupons)
3 bags of Dole Salads( no coupon, price match to 1.00 each)
9 Bags of Green giant Steamers( I got, corn, green beans and broccolli- Price matched to 1.00 each and had 1.00 coupon for each item- hello free vegetables.)
4 boxes of Betty Crocker potatoes (price matched to 1.00 had 2.00 in coupons)
2 Loaves of Aunt Millies Bread (price matched to 1.00 had .70 in coupons)
1 12oz package of Kraft Singles (had coupon for Free cheese-thanks to easy mac)
and 1 pkgs of Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs.(had coupon for Free hot dog, thanks to easymac)
That's 39 items for 46.74 or approx 1.30 each.
It looks like our menu this week consists of:
Chicken on the grill with salad
Tacos and taco salad (Taco shells from stockpile)
Chili with salad (Tomato juice and beans from stock pile)
Grilled cheese sandwiches with soup and vegetable (Soup from stockpile)
Popcorn chicken for kids, cesaer salad w/popcorn chix for me
BBQ shredded chicken sandwiches w/potatoes
Homemade chicken potpie (Need to get some bisquick- :( )
Hot Dogs, salad and oranges

That's a lot of dinners for $47.00-- and no worries on Milk or cereal, I'm still stocked from my last trip at Meijer when all of the Kelloggs cereal, cereal straws, eggo waffles were on sale. As for Milk,-- I have ECb and RR from Cvs and Walgreens to get us milk throughout the next week.

I just wanted to say thanks to my sweet husband who faithfully runs to the gas station every Sunday and buys 2 newspapers for me (just for the coupons), to my mother and father in-law who save their Saturday and Sunday Ads/coupons for me and for my friends who pass on coupons to me that they will not use.
Now I need to plan out my strategy for next Wednesday's trip to Owens for all of the good Campbell deals on soup, spaghetti sauce, bologna, Old el Paso products and Fruit snacks- might be a stock pile week next week.

Have fun shopping and let me know if you need help finding a coupon.

I love days like today-- not for what I am about to tell you BUT I just love crisp, cool fall days. I have the windows open, a pumpkin spiced candle buring, I got out my sweatshirts and now for the shocker...... I can still BUTTON my jeans from last year!!!!! Come on, that is shocking news. I have not been the model of fitness nor diet for the past 16 months- so to be able to still button jeans from last year.....Now, I will say that they probably don't look as nice as last year....at least they still fit. LOL.
