What I got for the $$

Thanks all you early-shopper guinea pigs for working all the kinks out of the system for me! My shopping trip last night (Eagle Albie's) totally rocked! My $60 from the meat promo came off instantly without a hitch--no assistance from the checker required.

Here's my stats:

Total Saved: $250.58

Total Spent: $71.13 OOP

--submit for Unilever ham rebate, adjusted OOP $51.13!

Here's what I got (price in parentheses is sale price/my OOP after Albie's promo and coupons):

2 All Small and Mighty 3x (Sale price: 3.99ea./My OOP: .39ea.)

4 Bertolli Ovenbakes (Sale price: (3.99 ea./1.60ea.)

15 Crystal light on the go (2.50/1.00)

1 Jell-O Cheesecake mix (2.50/1.50)

2 Philly cream cheese (1.00/.60)

3 Stove-top Stuffing mix (1.00/.60)

6 Oreo (yeah, that's right 6. Don't judge me) (2.99/.79)

1 Q-tips (3.00/1.50)

7 Skippy (2.00/.80)

1 Hormel Spiral Sliced Ham (1.88/lb., 20.27/free after promo)

6 Wishbone Bountifuls (2.00/.45)

6 Wishbone Spritzers (2.00/.45)

4 milk (1.99ea/paid for 3, got one free with coupon)

1 chocolate milk (4.19/free with coupon)

1 french bread (1.69)

1 pkg. frozen blueberries (4.79)

1 quart buttermilk (1.49)

20 Powerade (.75/.19)

1 bag Romaine hearts (2.79)

1 bag tortillas (2.99--wish I had remembered my $1/1 coupon)

3 4-pk. cadbury chocolate eggs (and yes, I did rip one open right there in the store-- you would too) (2.79ea.)

2 chocolate marshmallow bunnies (.99ea.)

A lot of my out of pocket expense came from things I just needed--if I had only bought the things on the promo, and left the rest out, my adjusted OOP would have been 23.11 less, or 28.02. I am blown away! This was a totally complicated deal for me, but well worth it in the end. Now if I can only snag some of the Vaseline Intensive Care lotion (restock already!) my life will be complete!
