Ran about a hundred Fiber Choice transactions – – so I have a little idea about possible filler items.
If you like tuna for warm weather salads, use one EE and one Bumble Bee solid white albacore with your one Fiber Choice. Your OOP will be 24¢. I did this one an obscene number of times because one tuna salad for my house requires ten cans of tuna alone! Normal price on the Bumble Bee is $1.89, but it’s on sale for 88¢ this week. We prefer the chunk light, but they only had the EE water packed – I was able to get the Bumble Bee in oil, so I’ll do a half and half salad.
Sponges are high tax and expensive at 45¢ each. I stocked up (took 12 in total) because it’s something that won’t go bad and we seem to go through a lot of. Which I don’t understand because we’re not that clean.
Pub burgers! Yeah! Have them wrapped up in singles and you’ll pay 49¢ for each. and since it’s been some time since a decent wine tag, i’ll take ’em at that price.
Butterfly pork chops work well, too, if you don’t go for the mammoth ones. Grab a half-pounder and since they’re on sale for $3.99/lb, you’re looking at 50¢ a chop.
I have a bag of Glory brand seasoned collard greens and Glory sensibly seasoned tomatoes & okra – we like greens in this house and the tomatoes & okra will go very well in a gumbo. Also took a few cans of no-sodium added corn, since EVERYONE likes corn.
The ramen noodles are expensive Annie Chun’s for quick meals – they’re not the dried noodles.
I have more bags somewhere, those with Diet Coke and Perrier. And heads up: Perrier is taxed the same as Diet Coke! That sure throws a monkey wrench into my plan for healthy living…
Well, that’s it – I’m sure you’ll find lots more things to stock your pantry.
how are you checking out? SCO w/cashier doing the Cat/coupon on each of your 100 transactions? If this is the case, I can see how you got the life sucked out of you!
I did most of them at self-check and you’re right, it took forever because I would move over to clear the space when they got busy. Finally it got quiet and one cashier took over a register and blew out forty in a few minutes! Way to go!
You have my respect and admiration for your tenacity – 100 transactions, wow!
Look at it as a side job – I spent a few hours there (mostly due to self-check), but $$-wise, I earned a couple of hundred dollars an hour! And since you’re only buying stuff you would actually use, it’s pretty sweet.
Is the fiber chioce deal still going? And did you pay cash for each fiber choice?
Since the OYNO cats roll at Jewel, each transaction was slightly over $4, which I paid with the prior transaction’s $4 cat and cash for the additional amount. I don’t think I spent more than $20 for everything – heck, in tuna alone I have over $60! And the Fiber Choice is a national promotion, scheduled to run through the 15th. Of course, there’s no guarantee that this 10 ct will still run through this date, but it’s a strong possibility.
The small bottles of fiber choice is still running. I found a Jewel that always has stock. No one in that area does couponing and it’s only 20 minutes away. Thanks for the tips. I’m stocked on tuna as well:) Did you happen to see the deal for family dollar last week for the $1.25 glad 50 ct garbage bags?
