Fry's Trip January 16th

I had most things I needed for this weeks menu so decided to use the budget to stock up on a few items that were on sale. I also got several items that have been on my list but always get pushed aside because of their higher price. My dog Rusty wanted to be in the picture next to the surprise donuts I brought home for breakfast. No, he didn’t get to sample them. Transaction Pullups (Reg. $11.99, Sale $9.99 - $2 shortcuts q - $2 Q = $5.99) Huggies (Reg. $11.99, Sale $9.99 - $1.50 shortcuts q - $1.50Q - $6.99) 8 Cottonelle tp (Reg. $1.39, Sale $.99 - .50q doubled to .99 = FREE) Fuze drink (Reg. $1.89, Sale $1 - .25Q doubled to .50 = .50) La Victoria salsa (Reg. $3.29, Sale $2) Fast Fixin chicken strips (Reg. $2.49, Sale $1) 2 Toaster Strudels (Reg. $3.19, Sale $1.99 - .35Q doubled to .70 = $1.29) Ice Cream Sandwiches (Reg. $2.29, Sale $1) Mt Dairy Ice Cream (Reg. $2.99, Sale $1) 3 Kroger Sherbet (Reg. $3.79, Sale $1) 3 Fry’s Tortillas (Reg. $1.99, Sale $1) 2 Kroger Freezer Bags (Reg. $2.49, Sale $1) 4 Rice A Roni (Reg. $1.79, Sale $1 - $1/4Q = .75) 4 Pasta A Roni (Reg. $1.79, Sale $1 - $1/4Q = .75) 4 Kroger fruit snacks (Reg. $2.19, Sale $1) Macayo Enchilada Sauce (Reg. $1.79, Sale $1.49) Kroger Cornmeal (Reg. $2.19, Sale $1.99) Kroger Lemon Juice (Reg. $2.59, Sale $2.19) Fry’s Canola Oil (Reg. $3.89, Sale $3.17) 4 Martha White muffin mix (Reg. $1.39, Sale $1 - $1/4Q = .75) Fry’s Vegetable Oil (Reg.$3.29, Sale $1.89) Fry’s Bread (Reg. $1.79, Sale $1) Kroger Cheese (Reg. $3.29, Sale $2.50) Kroger Syrup (Reg. $2.89, Sale $2.19) 6 Donuts (Reg. $3.54) 4 Roma Tomatoes (Reg. $1.04, Sale $.70) 2 bunches Green Onions (Reg. $1.38, Sale $1) 2 Zucchini (Reg. $1.39, Sale $.82) Broccoli (Reg. $1.74, Sale $1.17) Kroger Carrots (Reg. $1.69, Sale $1) I ended up spending $68.43 and saving $71.08 which is 51%. Not as good as I would have liked but I expected it since I was buying several things that have been on my “needs” list for awhile. I still stayed under budget so I am fairly happy with the shopping trip. I will just strive to do better next time.
